Subject: Re: source code of dynamic liner

The dynamic loader is part of userspace, so it is not an appropriate
topic for the linux-kernel mailing list.

Your Linux distribution probably includes tools for obtaining the
source package for any installed file.  For instance, on Debian-derived
systems including Ubuntu, you can use dpkg-query and apt-get for these
tasks:

# Determine what binary package provides the file /lib/ld-linux.so.2
$ dpkg-query -S /lib/ld-linux.so.2
libc6: /lib/ld-linux.so.2

# Download and untar the related source package
$ apt-get source libc6
... (downloaded 14.5MB of files) ...
dpkg-source: extracting glibc in glibc-2.3.6
dpkg-source: unpacking glibc_2.3.6.orig.tar.gz
dpkg-source: applying ./glibc_2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5.diff.gz
