It turns out the startup code in csu/elf-init.c has a perfect pair of
ROP gadgets (see Marco-Gisbert and Ripoll-Ripoll, "return-to-csu: A
New Method to Bypass 64-bit Linux ASLR"). These functions are not
needed in dynamically-linked binaries because DT_INIT/DT_INIT_ARRAY
are already processed by the dynamic linker. However, the dynamic
linker skipped the main program for some reason. For maximum
backwards compatibility, this is not changed, and instead, the main
map is consulted from __libc_start_main if the init function argument
is a NULL pointer.
For statically linked binaries, the old approach based on linker
symbols is still used because there is nothing else available.
A new symbol version __libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.34 is introduced because
new binaries running on an old libc would not run their ELF
constructors, leading to difficult-to-debug issues.
Gnulib has added the proposed fix with aed23714d60 (done in 2005), but
recently with a glibc merge with 67306f6 (done in 2020 with sync back)
it has fallback to old semantic to return -1 on in case of failure.
From gnulib developer feedback it was an oversight. Although the full
fix for BZ #14185 would require to rewrite fnmatch implementation to use
mbrtowc instead of mbsrtowcs on the full input, this mitigate the issue
and it has been used by gnulib for a long time.
This patch also removes the alloca usage on the string convertion to
wide characters before calling the internal function.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
The elision interfaces are closely aligned between the targets that
implement them, so declare them in the generic <lowlevellock.h>
file.
Empty .c stubs are provided, so that fewer makefile updates
under sysdeps are needed. Also simplify initialization via
__libc_early_init.
The symbols __lll_clocklock_elision, __lll_lock_elision,
__lll_trylock_elision, __lll_unlock_elision, __pthread_force_elision
move into libc. For the time being, non-hidden references are used
from libpthread to access them, but once that part of libpthread
is moved into libc, hidden symbols will be used again. (Hidden
references seem desirable to reduce the likelihood of transactions
aborts.)
This moves __futex_abstimed_wait64 and
__futex_abstimed_wait_cancelable64 and exports these functions as
GLIBC_PRIVATE.

This was likely a mistake in the original aarch64 port copied over

The __read_tp symbol is visible with static linking, but it's not

The -O option avoids interleaving (e.g.) compiler error messages

Currently glibc has three different struct statfs{64} definitions:
1. Non-LFS support where non-LFS and LFS struct have different
size: alpha, arm, hppa, i686, m68k, microblaze, mips (all abis),
powerpc32, s390, sh4, and sparc.
2. Non-LFS support where non-LFS and LFS struct have the same
size: csky and nios2.
3. Only LFS support (where both struct have the same size): arc,
ia64, powerpc64 (including LE), riscv (both 32 and 64 bits),
s390x, sparc64, and x86 (including x32).
The STATFS_IS_STATFS64/__STATFS_MATCHES_STATFS64 does not tell apart
between 1. and 2. since for both the only difference is the struct
size (for 2. both non-LFS and LFS uses the same syscall, where for
1. the old non-LFS is used for [f]statfs).
This patch move the generic statfs.h for both csky and nios2, and
make the default definitions for newer ABIs to assume that only
LFS will be support (so there is no need to keep no-LFS and LFS
struct statfs with the same size, it will be implicit).

A copy of non-LFS support is provided to 32-bit ABIS with non-LFS

The glibc.malloc.mmap_max tunable as well as al of the INT_32 tunables
don't have use for negative values, so pin the hardcoded limits in the
non-negative range of INT. There's no real benefit in any of those
use cases for the extended range of unsigned, so I have avoided added
a new type to keep things simple.
The TUNABLE_SET interface took a primitive C type argument, which
resulted in inconsistent type conversions internally due to incorrect
dereferencing of types, especialy on 32-bit architectures. This
change simplifies the TUNABLE setting logic along with the interfaces.
Now all numeric tunable values are stored as signed numbers in
tunable_num_t, which is intmax_t. All calls to set tunables cast the
input value to its primitive type and then to tunable_num_t for
storage. This relies on gcc-specific (although I suspect other
compilers woul also do the same) unsigned to signed integer conversion
semantics, i.e. the bit pattern is conserved. The reverse conversion
is guaranteed by the standard.
