SXID_ERASE is implicit for all environment variables. Avoid
mentioning it in the tunables list; that way only the ones with
SXID_IGNORE remain prominent and mentioned. TODO: we need to audit
each of those cases and drop them to SXID_ERASE wherever possible.
This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms[1]. Since elision now depends
on tunables, we should always *compile* with elision enabled,
and leave the code disabled, but available for runtime
selection. This gives us *much* better compile-time testing of
the existing code to avoid bit-rot[2].
Tested on ppc, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x and x86_64.

The current IFUNC selection is based on microbenchmarks in glibc. It
should give the best performance for most workloads. But other choices
may have better performance for a particular workload or on the hardware
which wasn't available at the selection was made. The environment
variable, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.ifunc=-xxx,yyy,-zzz...., can be used
to enable CPU/ARCH feature yyy, disable CPU/ARCH feature yyy and zzz,
where the feature name is case-sensitive and has to match the ones in
cpu-features.h. It can be used by glibc developers to override the
IFUNC selection to tune for a new processor or improve performance for
a particular workload. It isn't intended for normal end users.
NOTE: the IFUNC selection may change over time. Please check all
multiarch implementations when experimenting.
Also, GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.tune.x86_non_temporal_threshold=NUMBER is
provided to set threshold to use non temporal store to NUMBER,

Add LD_HWCAP_MASK to tunables in preparation of it being removed from
rtld.c. This allows us to read LD_HWCAP_MASK much earlier so that it
can influence IFUNC resolution in aarch64.
This patch does not actually do anything other than read the
LD_HWCAP_MASK variable and add the tunables way to set the
LD_HWCAP_MASK, i.e. via the glibc.tune.hwcap_mask tunable. In a
follow-up patch, the _dl_hwcap_mask will be replaced with
glibc.tune.hwcap_mask to complete the transition.

Florian Weimer pointed out that we have three different kinds of
environment variables (and hence tunables):
1. Variables that are removed for setxid processes
2. Variables that are ignored in setxid processes but is passed on to
child processes
3. Variables that are passed on to child processes all the time
Tunables currently only does (2) and (3) when it should be doing (1)
for MALLOC_CHECK_. This patch enhances the is_secure flag in tunables
to an enum value that can specify which of the above three categories
the tunable (and its envvar alias) belongs to.
The default is for tunables to be in (1). Hence, all of the malloc
tunables barring MALLOC_CHECK_ are explicitly specified to belong to
category (2). There were discussions around abolishing category (2)
completely but we can do that as a separate exercise in 2.26.
Tested on x86_64 to verify that there are no regressions.

Builds with --enable-tunables failed on i686 because a call to getenv
got snuck into tunables, which pulled in strncmp. This patch fixes
this build failure by making the glibc.malloc.check check even
simpler. The previous approach was convoluted where the tunable was
disabled using an unsetenv and overwriting the tunable value with
colons. The easier way is to simply mark the tunable as insecure by
default (i.e. won't be read for AT_SECURE programs) and then enabled
only when the /etc/suid-debug file is found.
This also ends up removing a bunch of functions that were specially
reimplemented (strlen, unsetenv) to avoid calling into string
routines.
Tested on x86_64 and i686.

(min_strlen): Likewise.
(disable_tunable): Likewise.

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.
