Linux 6.11 has getrandom() in vDSO. It operates on a thread-local opaque
state allocated with mmap using flags specified by the vDSO.
Multiple states are allocated at once, as many as fit into a page, and
these are held in an array of available states to be doled out to each
thread upon first use, and recycled when a thread terminates. As these
states run low, more are allocated.
To make this procedure async-signal-safe, a simple guard is used in the
LSB of the opaque state address, falling back to the syscall if there's
reentrancy contention.
Also, _Fork() is handled by blocking signals on opaque state allocation
(so _Fork() always sees a consistent state even if it interrupts a
getrandom() call) and by iterating over the thread stack cache on
reclaim_stack. Each opaque state will be in the free states list
(grnd_alloc.states) or allocated to a running thread.
The cancellation is handled by always using GRND_NONBLOCK flags while
calling the vDSO, and falling back to the cancellable syscall if the
kernel returns EAGAIN (would block). Since getrandom is not defined by
POSIX and cancellation is supported as an extension, the cancellation is
handled as 'may occur' instead of 'shall occur' [1], meaning that if
vDSO does not block (the expected behavior) getrandom will not act as a
cancellation entrypoint. It avoids a pthread_testcancel call on the fast
path (different than 'shall occur' functions, like sem_wait()).
It is currently enabled for x86_64, which is available in Linux 6.11,
and aarch64, powerpc32, powerpc64, loongarch64, and s390x, which are
available in Linux 6.12.

By adding an internal alias to avoid the GOT indirection.
On some architecture, __libc_single_thread may be accessed through
copy relocations and thus it requires to update also the copies
default copy.
This is done by adding a new internal macro,
libc_hidden_data_{proto,def}, which has an addition argument that
specifies the alias name (instead of default __GI_ one).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-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.)

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.

The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals
to change the size of struct rseq, which would make the glibc ABI
dependent on the version of the kernels used for building glibc.
This is of course not acceptable.
This reverts commit 48699da1c4 ("elf:
Support at least 32-byte alignment in static dlopen"), commit
8f4632deb3 ("Linux: rseq registration
tests"), commit 6e29cb3f61 ("Linux: Use
rseq in sched_getcpu if available"), and commit
0c76fc3c2b ("Linux: Perform rseq
registration at C startup and thread creation"), resolving the conflicts
introduced by the ARC port and the TLS static surplus changes.

The variable is placed in libc.so, and it can be true only in
an outer libc, not libcs loaded via dlmopen or static dlopen.
Since thread creation from inner namespaces does not work,
pthread_create can update __libc_single_threaded directly.
Using __libc_early_init and its initial flag, implementation of this
variable is very straightforward. A future version may reset the flag
during fork (but not in an inner namespace), or after joining all
threads except one.

Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for
each thread (excluding main). "rseq" stands for Restartable Sequences.
See the rseq(2) man page proposed here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/19/647
Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec5c.
The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18.
The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for
dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working.
The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been
increased in quite a while. The cost in terms of additional TLS storage
is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related
dlopen failures.
The rseq initialization should happen only for the libc in the base
namespace (in the dynamic case) or the statically linked libc. The
__libc_multiple_libcs flag does not quite cover this case at present,
so this commit introduces a flag argument to __libc_early_init,
indicating whether the libc being libc is the primary one (of the main
program).

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.
