autoPatchelfHook: Correctly detect PIE binaries
I originally thought it would just be enough to just check for an INTERP section in isExecutable, however this would mean that we don't detect statically linked ELF files, which would break our recent improvement to gracefully handle those. In theory, we are only interested in ELF files that have an INTERP section, so checking for INTERP would be enough. Unfortunately the isExecutable function is already used outside of autoPatchelfHook, so we can't easily get rid of it now, so let's actually strive for more correctness and make isExecutable actually match ELF files that are executable. So what we're doing instead now is to check whether either the ELF type is EXEC *or* we have an INTERP section and if one of them is true we should have an ELF executable, even if it's statically linked. Along the way I also set LANG=C for the invocations of readelf, just to be sure we don't get locale-dependent output. Tested this with the following command (which contains almost[1] all the packages using autoPatchelfHook), checking whether we run into any library-related errors: nix-build -E 'with import ./. { config.allowUnfree = true; }; runCommand "test-executables" { drvs = [ anydesk cups-kyodialog3 elasticsearch franz gurobi masterpdfeditor oracle-instantclient powershell reaper sourcetrail teamviewer unixODBCDrivers.msodbcsql17 virtlyst vk-messenger wavebox zoom-us ]; } ("for i in $drvs; do for b in $i/bin/*; do " + "[ -x \"$b\" ] && timeout 10 \"$b\" || :; done; done") ' Apart from testing against library-related errors I also compared the resulting store paths against the ones prior to this commit. Only anydesk and virtlyst had the same as they didn't have self-references, everything else differed only because of self-references, except elasticsearch, which had the following PIE binaries: * modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/autoconfig * modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/autodetect * modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/categorize * modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/controller * modules/x-pack/x-pack-ml/platform/linux-x86_64/bin/normalize These binaries were now patched, which is what this commit is all about.
