On _dl_map_object the underlying file is not opened in trace mode
(in other cases where the underlying file can't be opened,
_dl_map_object quits with an error). If there any missing libraries
being processed, they will not be considered on final nlist size
passed on _dl_sort_maps later in the function. And it is then used by
_dl_sort_maps_dfs on the stack allocated working maps:
222 /* Array to hold RPO sorting results, before we copy back to maps[]. */
223 struct link_map *rpo[nmaps];
224
225 /* The 'head' position during each DFS iteration. Note that we start at
226 one past the last element due to first-decrement-then-store (see the
227 bottom of above dfs_traversal() routine). */
228 struct link_map **rpo_head = &rpo[nmaps];
However while transversing the 'l_initfini' on dfs_traversal it will
still consider the l_faked maps and thus update rpo more times than the
allocated working 'rpo', overflowing the stack object.
As suggested in bugzilla, one option would be to avoid sorting the maps
for trace mode. However I think ignoring l_faked object does make
sense (there is one less constraint to call the sorting function), it
allows a slight less stack usage for trace, and it is slight simpler
solution.
The tests does trigger the stack overflow, however I tried to make
it more generic to check different scenarios or missing objects.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

This second patch contains the actual implementation of a new sorting algorithm
for shared objects in the dynamic loader, which solves the slow behavior that
the current "old" algorithm falls into when the DSO set contains circular
dependencies.
The new algorithm implemented here is simply depth-first search (DFS) to obtain
the Reverse-Post Order (RPO) sequence, a topological sort. A new l_visited:1
bitfield is added to struct link_map to more elegantly facilitate such a search.
The DFS algorithm is applied to the input maps[nmap-1] backwards towards
maps[0]. This has the effect of a more "shallow" recursion depth in general
since the input is in BFS. Also, when combined with the natural order of
processing l_initfini[] at each node, this creates a resulting output sorting
closer to the intuitive "left-to-right" order in most cases.
Another notable implementation adjustment related to this _dl_sort_maps change
is the removing of two char arrays 'used' and 'done' in _dl_close_worker to
represent two per-map attributes. This has been changed to simply use two new
bit-fields l_map_used:1, l_map_done:1 added to struct link_map. This also allows
discarding the clunky 'used' array sorting that _dl_sort_maps had to sometimes
do along the way.
Tunable support for switching between different sorting algorithms at runtime is
also added. A new tunable 'glibc.rtld.dynamic_sort' with current valid values 1
(old algorithm) and 2 (new DFS algorithm) has been added. At time of commit
of this patch, the default setting is 1 (old algorithm).

Combine the four places where link maps are sorted into a single function.
This also moves the logic to skip the first map (representing the main
binary) to the callers.
