Honoring the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable in AT_SECURE mode
has security implications. This commit enables pointer guard
unconditionally, and the environment variable is now ignored.
[BZ #18928]
* sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h (struct rtld_global_ro): Remove
_dl_pointer_guard member.
* elf/rtld.c (_rtld_global_ro): Remove _dl_pointer_guard
initializer.
(security_init): Always set up pointer guard.
(process_envvars): Do not process LD_POINTER_GUARD.
Completing the removal of the obsolete INTDEF / INTUSE mechanism, this
patch removes the final use - that for _dl_starting_up - replacing it
by rtld_hidden_def / rtld_hidden_proto. Having removed the last use,
the mechanism itself is also removed.
Tested for x86_64 that installed stripped shared libraries are
unchanged by the patch. (This is not much of a test since this
variable is only defined and used in the !HAVE_INLINED_SYSCALLS case.)

Continuing the removal of the obsolete INTDEF / INTUSE mechanism, this
patch replaces its use for _dl_mcount with use of rtld_hidden_def /
rtld_hidden_proto.

_dl_mcount.
* elf/rtld.c (_rtld_global_ro): Likewise.
Continuing the removal of the obsolete INTDEF / INTUSE mechanism, this
patch replaces its use for _dl_argv with rtld_hidden_data_def and
rtld_hidden_proto. Some places in .S files that previously used
_dl_argv_internal or INTUSE(_dl_argv) now use __GI__dl_argv directly
(there are plenty of existing examples of such direct use of __GI_*).
A single place in rtld.c previously used _dl_argv without INTUSE,
apparently accidentally, while the rtld_hidden_proto mechanism avoids
such accidential omissions. As a consequence, this patch *does*
change the contents of stripped ld.so. However, the installed
stripped shared libraries are identical to those you get if instead of
this patch you change that single _dl_argv use to use INTUSE, without
any other changes.
Tested for x86_64 (testsuite as well as comparison of installed
stripped shared libraries as described above).

This commit fixes a bug where the dynamic loader would crash
when loading audit libraries, via LD_AUDIT, where those libraries
used TLS. The dynamic loader was not considering that the audit
libraries would use TLS and failed to bump the TLS generation
counter leaving TLS usage inconsistent after loading the audit
libraries.

Resolves: #15465
The program name may be unavailable if the user application tampers
with argc and argv[]. Some parts of the dynamic linker caters for
this while others don't, so this patch consolidates the check and
fallback into a single macro and updates all users.
Commit glibc-2.14~10 disallowed rtld self loading to avoid a segfault
that used to happen when rtld was loading itself in normal mode.
Unfortunately, that commit disallowed all modes of self loading,
including those that used to work before. This change limits the check
for self loading to normal mode only, so that instruments like ldd could
handle rtld properly.
[BZ #13579] Do not free l_initfini and allow it to be reused
on subsequent dl_open calls for the same library. This fixes
the invalid memory access in do_lookup_x when the previously
free'd l_initfini was accessed through l_searchlist when a
library had been opened for the second time.
It may sometimes be desirable to make the dynamic linker only pick up
libraries from the library path and rpath and not look at the
ld.so.cache that ldconfig generates. An example of such a use case is
the glibc testsuite where the dynamic linker must not be influenced by
any external paths or caches.
This change adds a new option --inhibit-ldcache that when used, tells
the dynamic linker to not use ld.so.cache even if it is available.
