Commit 03e187a41d added a regression when an audit module does not have
libc as DT_NEEDED (although unusual it is possible).

x86-64: Avoid rep movsb with short distance [BZ #27130]
introduced some regressions on Intel processors without Fast Short REP
MOV (FSRM). Add Avoid_Short_Distance_REP_MOVSB to avoid rep movsb with
short distance only on Intel processors with FSRM. bench-memmove-large
on Skylake server shows that cycles of __memmove_evex_unaligned_erms
improves for the following data size:

The benchmark and tests must fail in case of allocation failure in the
implementation array. Also annotate the x* allocators in support.h so
that the compiler has more information about them.

Tell the compiler that xmalloc family of allocators always return
non-NULL. xrealloc in locale/programs also always returns non-NULL,
but that conflicts with default realloc behaviour and that of xrealloc
in libsupport, so keep it as is for now and resolve the differences
later.

These functions call the core allocator functions (realloc and malloc
respectively) and are hence guaranteed to allocate memory using the
correct functions when multiple allocators are interposed. Having
these functions interposed in one allocator and not another may result
in confusion, hence discourage interposing them altogether.

1. Install <bits/platform/x86.h> for <sys/platform/x86.h> which includes
<bits/platform/x86.h>.
2. Rename HAS_CPU_FEATURE to CPU_FEATURE_PRESENT which checks if the
processor has the feature.
3. Rename CPU_FEATURE_USABLE to CPU_FEATURE_ACTIVE which checks if the
feature is active. There may be other preconditions, like sufficient
stack space or further setup for AMX, which must be satisfied before the
feature can be used.
This fixes BZ #27958.

These deprecated functions are only safe to call from
__malloc_initialize_hook and as a result, are not useful in the
general case. Move the implementations to libc_malloc_debug so that
existing binaries that need it will now have to preload the debug DSO
to work correctly.
This also allows simplification of the core malloc implementation by
dropping all the undumping support code that was added to make
malloc_set_state work.
One known breakage is that of ancient emacs binaries that depend on
this. They will now crash when running with this libc. With
LD_BIND_NOW=1, it will terminate immediately because of not being able
to find malloc_set_state but with lazy binding it will crash in
unpredictable ways. It will need a preloaded libc_malloc_debug.so so
that its initialization hook is executed to allow its malloc
implementation to work properly.

The malloc-check debugging feature is tightly integrated into glibc
malloc, so thanks to an idea from Florian Weimer, much of the malloc
implementation has been moved into libc_malloc_debug.so to support
malloc-check. Due to this, glibc malloc and malloc-check can no
longer work together; they use altogether different (but identical)
structures for heap management. This should not make a difference
though since the malloc check hook is not disabled anywhere.
malloc_set_state does, but it does so early enough that it shouldn't
cause any problems.
The malloc check tunable is now in the debug DSO and has no effect
when the DSO is not preloaded.

Now that mcheck no longer needs to check __malloc_initialized (and no
other third party hook can since the symbol is not exported), make the
variable boolean and static so that it is used strictly within malloc.

Split the mcheck implementation into the debugging hooks and API so
that the API can be replicated in libc and libc_malloc_debug.so. The
libc APIs always result in failure.
The mcheck implementation has also been moved entirely into
libc_malloc_debug.so and with it, all of the hook initialization code
can now be moved into the debug library. Now the initialization can
be done independently of libc internals.
With this patch, libc_malloc_debug.so can no longer be used with older
libcs, which is not its goal anyway. tst-vfork3 breaks due to this
since it spawns shell scripts, which in turn execute using the system
glibc. Move the test to tests-container so that only the built glibc
is used.
This move also fixes bugs in the mcheck version of memalign and
realloc, thus allowing removal of the tests from tests-mcheck
exclusion list.

Remove all malloc hook uses from core malloc functions and move it
into a new library libc_malloc_debug.so. With this, the hooks now no
longer have any effect on the core library.
libc_malloc_debug.so is a malloc interposer that needs to be preloaded
to get hooks functionality back so that the debugging features that
depend on the hooks, i.e. malloc-check, mcheck and mtrace work again.
Without the preloaded DSO these debugging features will be nops.
These features will be ported away from hooks in subsequent patches.
Similarly, legacy applications that need hooks functionality need to
preload libc_malloc_debug.so.
The symbols exported by libc_malloc_debug.so are maintained at exactly
the same version as libc.so.
Finally, static binaries will no longer be able to use malloc
debugging features since they cannot preload the debugging DSO.

Any FPU_STATUS write needs setting the FWE bit (31) whcih just provides
a "control signal" to enable explicit write (vs. the side-effect of FPU
instructions). However this bit is RAZ and write-only, thus effectively
never stored in FPU_STATUS register. Thus when reading the register
there is no need to clear it. This shaves off a BCLR instruction from
the fe*exceptino family of functions and while no big deal still makes
sense to do.
This came up when debugging a race in math/test-fenv-tls [1]

The SSBD feature is implemented in 2 different ways on AMD processors:
newer systems (Zen3) provides AMD_SSBD (function 8000_0008, EBX[24]),
while older system provides AMD_VIRT_SSBD (function 8000_0008, EBX[25]).
However for AMD_VIRT_SSBD, kernel shows both 'ssdb' and 'virt_ssdb' on
/proc/cpuinfo; while for AMD_SSBD only 'ssdb' is provided.
This now check is AMD_SSBD is set to check for 'ssbd', otherwise check
if AMD_VIRT_SSDB is set to check for 'virt_ssbd'.
