Notice that the address in the program counter is the exact offset of
the .init section in the binary:
chr1s@wernstrom:/srv$ readelf -S /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser
There are 32 section headers, starting at offset 0x2e87df4:

...but this is a relocatable binary, so this is wrong!

Looking a bit closer at what __libc_csu_init is doing:
01ec9b48 <__xstat64+0x7fe1c4>:
1ec9b48: e92d 43f8 stmdb sp!, {r3, r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, lr}
1ec9b4c: 4606 mov r6, r0
1ec9b4e: 4d0d ldr r5, [pc, #52] ; (1ec9b84
<__xstat64+0x7fe200>)
1ec9b50: 460f mov r7, r1
1ec9b52: f8df 9034 ldr.w r9, [pc, #52] ; 1ec9b88
<__xstat64+0x7fe204>
1ec9b56: 4690 mov r8, r2
1ec9b58: 447d add r5, pc
1ec9b5a: f001 eedc blx 1ecb914 <__xstat64+0x7fff90>
1ec9b5e: 44f9 add r9, pc
1ec9b60: ebc5 0909 rsb r9, r5, r9
1ec9b64: ea5f 09a9 movs.w r9, r9, asr #2
1ec9b68: d00a beq.n 1ec9b80 <__xstat64+0x7fe1fc>
1ec9b6a: 3d04 subs r5, #4
1ec9b6c: 2400 movs r4, #0
1ec9b6e: f855 3f04 ldr.w r3, [r5, #4]!
1ec9b72: 4630 mov r0, r6
1ec9b74: 4639 mov r1, r7
1ec9b76: 4642 mov r2, r8
1ec9b78: 3401 adds r4, #1
1ec9b7a: 4798 blx r3
1ec9b7c: 454c cmp r4, r9
1ec9b7e: d1f6 bne.n 1ec9b6e <__xstat64+0x7fe1ea>
1ec9b80: e8bd 83f8 ldmia.w sp!, {r3, r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, pc}
Here, it is doing a relative branch to offset 1db8 and switching to
ARM mode:
1ec9b5a: f001 eedc blx 1ecb914 <__xstat64+0x7fff90>
This is where it lands (now in ARM mode):
01ecb914 <.data+0x1ecb914>:
1ecb914: e51ff004 ldr pc, [pc, #-4] ; 0x1ecb918
1ecb918: 0022a991 mlaeq r2, r1, r9, sl
... which is basically doing a branch to address 0x22a990 by loading
the program counter with the absolute address stored in the binary.
For a relocatable binary, this is not right - it's like the linker
thought this is not relocatable ;)
The following simple test case reproduces the exact same bug:
chr1s@wernstrom:/srv$ cat ~/Desktop/test.cpp
__attribute__((section(".text"))) char test[60000000] = {0};
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {}
Compile this with "g++ -o test test.cpp -fPIC -pie"
The key here is that the offset between __libc_csu_init() and the
start of the .init section in the binary must exceed the range of the
relative branch instructions (+/-16MB in thumb mode). If it isn't,
then the linker inserts a relative branch in __libc_csu_init() (as
opposed to the blx and then absolute branch from ARM mode that we get
now), and this works fine.
This is fixed in raring, and the bfd linker also does the right thing.
Here is what happens with the test case when linked with the bfd
linker:
03938d30 <.data+0x3938d30>:
3938d30: e59fc004 ldr ip, [pc, #4] ; 0x3938d3c
3938d34: e08fc00c add ip, pc, ip
3938d38: e12fff1c bx ip
... which basically loads an offset in to r12, adds the PC to it and
branches to it
