67e58f3941 Add framework for tunables
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.

	* manual/install.texi: Add --enable-tunables option.
	* INSTALL: Regenerate.
	* README.tunables: New file.
	* Makeconfig (CPPFLAGS): Define TOP_NAMESPACE.
	(before-compile): Generate dl-tunable-list.h early.
	* config.h.in: Add HAVE_TUNABLES.
	* config.make.in: Add have-tunables.
	* configure.ac: Add --enable-tunables option.
	* configure: Regenerate.
	* csu/init-first.c (__libc_init_first): Move
	__libc_init_secure earlier...
	* csu/init-first.c (LIBC_START_MAIN):... to here.
	Include dl-tunables.h, libc-internal.h.
	(LIBC_START_MAIN) [!SHARED]: Initialize tunables for static
	binaries.
	* elf/Makefile (dl-routines): Add dl-tunables.
	* elf/Versions (ld): Add __tunable_set_val to GLIBC_PRIVATE
	namespace.
	* elf/dl-support (_dl_nondynamic_init): Unset MALLOC_CHECK_
	only when !HAVE_TUNABLES.
	* elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Likewise.
	* elf/dl-sysdep.c [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Include dl-tunables.h
	(_dl_sysdep_start): Call __tunables_init.

	* elf/dl-tunables.h: New file.
	* elf/dl-tunables.list: New file.
	* malloc/tst-malloc-usable-static.c: New test case.
	* malloc/Makefile (tests-static): Add it.
	* malloc/arena.c [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Include dl-tunables.h.
	Define TUNABLE_NAMESPACE.
	(DL_TUNABLE_CALLBACK (set_mallopt_check)): New function.
	(DL_TUNABLE_CALLBACK_FNDECL): New macro.  Use it to define
	callback functions.
	(ptmalloc_init): Set tunable values.
	* scripts/gen-tunables.awk: New file.
	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/dl-sysdep.c: Include dl-tunables.h.
	(_dl_sysdep_start): Call __tunables_init.

95e7cf295e Fix static-binary lazy FPU context allocation
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.
