Change sbrk to fail for !__libc_initial (in the generic
implementation). As a result, sbrk is (relatively) safe to use
for the __libc_initial case (from the main libc). It is therefore
no longer necessary to avoid using it in that case (or updating the
brk cache), and the __libc_initial flag does not need to be updated
as part of dlmopen or static dlopen.
As before, direct brk system calls on Linux may lead to memory
corruption.

This was originally added to support binutils older than version
2.22:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2010-12/msg00051.html>
Since 2.22 is older than the minimum required binutils version
for building glibc, we no longer need this. (The changes do
not impact the statically linked startup code.)
This function is defined in libc.so, and the dynamic loader calls
right after relocation has been finished, before any ELF constructors
or the preinit function is invoked. It is also used in the static
build for initializing parts of the static libc.
To locate __libc_early_init, a direct symbol lookup function is used,
_dl_lookup_direct. It does not search the entire symbol scope and
consults merely a single link map. This function could also be used
to implement lookups in the vDSO (as an optimization).
A per-namespace variable (libc_map) is added for locating libc.so,
to avoid repeated traversals of the search scope. It is similar to
GL(dl_initfirst). An alternative would have been to thread a context
argument from _dl_open down to _dl_map_object_from_fd (where libc.so
is identified). This could have avoided the global variable, but
the change would be larger as a result. It would not have been
possible to use this to replace GL(dl_initfirst) because that global
variable is used to pass the function pointer past the stack switch
from dl_main to the main program. Replacing that requires adding
a new argument to _dl_init, which in turn needs changes to the
architecture-specific libc.so startup code written in assembler.
__libc_early_init should not be used to replace _dl_var_init (as
it exists today on some architectures). Instead, _dl_lookup_direct
should be used to look up a new variable symbol in libc.so, and
that should then be initialized from the dynamic loader, immediately
after the object has been loaded in _dl_map_object_from_fd (before
relocation is run). This way, more IFUNC resolvers which depend on
these variables will work.

On !ELF_INITFINI architectures, _init is no longer called by the
dynamic linker. We can use an ELF constructor instead because the
constructor order does not matter. (The other constructors are used
to set up libio vtable bypasses and do not depend on this
initialization routine.)
This patch moves the vDSO setup from libc to loader code, just after
the vDSO link_map setup. For static case the initialization
is moved to _dl_non_dynamic_init instead.
Instead of using the mangled pointer, the vDSO data is set as
attribute_relro (on _rtld_global_ro for shared or _dl_vdso_* for
static). It is read-only even with partial relro.
It fixes BZ#24967 now that the vDSO pointer is setup earlier than
malloc interposition is called.
Also, vDSO calls should not be a problem for static dlopen as
indicated by BZ#20802. The vDSO pointer would be zero-initialized
and the syscall will be issued instead.

glibc's implementation of getopt includes code to parse an environment
variable named _XXX_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_ (where XXX is the
current process's PID in decimal); but all of it has been #ifdefed out
since 2001, with no official way to turn it back on.
According to commentary in our config.h.in, bash version 2.0 set this
environment variable to indicate argv elements that were the result of
glob expansion and therefore should not be treated as options, but the
feature was "disabled later" because "it caused problems". According
to bash's CHANGES file, "later" was release 2.01; it gives no more
detail about what the problems were.
Version 2.0 of bash was released on the last day of 1996, and version
2.01 in June of 1997. Twenty years later, I think it is safe to
assume that this environment variable isn't coming back.

The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global
variables inside glibc as switches to users. tunables/README has
instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables.
Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables
configure flag to the configure script. This patch only adds a
framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are
read from the user. It also adds environment variables used in malloc
behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the
compatibility interface.

Long ago static startup did not parse the auxiliary vector and therefore
could not get at any `AT_FPUCW' tag to check whether upon FPU context
allocation the kernel would use a FPU control word setting different to
that provided by the `__fpu_control' variable. Static startup therefore
always initialized the FPU control word, forcing immediate FPU context
allocation even for binaries that otherwise never used the FPU.
As from GIT commit f8f900ecb9 static
startup supports parsing the auxiliary vector, so now it can avoid
explicit initialization of the FPU control word, just as can dynamic
startup, in the usual case where the setting written to the FPU control
word would be the same as the kernel uses. This defers FPU context
allocation until the binary itself actually pokes at the FPU.
Note that the `AT_FPUCW' tag is usually absent from the auxiliary vector
in which case _FPU_DEFAULT is assumed to be the kernel default.
