elf/rtld: Count skipped environment variables for enable_secure
The new testcase elf/tst-tunables-enable_secure-env segfaults on s390 (31bit).
There _start parses the auxiliary vector for some additional checks.
Therefore it skips over the zeros after the environment variables ...
0x7fffac20: 0x7fffbd17 0x7fffbd32 0x7fffbd69 0x00000000
------------------------------------------------^^^last environment variable
... and then it parses the auxiliary vector and stops at AT_NULL.
0x7fffac30: 0x00000000 0x00000021 0x00000000 0x00000000
--------------------------------^^^AT_SYSINFO_EHDR--------------^^^AT_NULL
----------------^^^newp-----------------------------------------^^^oldp
Afterwards it tries to access AT_PHDR which points to somewhere and segfaults.
Due to not incorporating the skip_env variable in the computation of oldp
when shuffling down the auxv in rtld.c, it just copies one entry with AT_NULL
and value 0x00000021 and stops the loop. In reality we have skipped
GLIBC_TUNABLES environment variable (=> skip_env=1). Thus we should copy from
here:
0x7fffac40: 0x00000021 0x7ffff000 0x00000010 0x007fffff
----------------^^^fixed-oldp
This patch fixes the computation of oldp when shuffling down auxiliary vector.
It also adds some checks in the testcase. Those checks also fail on
s390x (64bit) and x86_64 without the fix.

It turns out that quite a few applications use bundled mallocs that
have been built to use global-dynamic TLS (instead of the recommended
initial-exec TLS). The previous workaround from
commit afe42e935b ("elf: Avoid some
free (NULL) calls in _dl_update_slotinfo") does not fix all
encountered cases unfortunatelly.
This change avoids the TLS generation update for recursive use
of TLS from a malloc that was called during a TLS update. This
is possible because an interposed malloc has a fixed module ID and
TLS slot. (It cannot be unloaded.) If an initially-loaded module ID
is encountered in __tls_get_addr and the dynamic linker is already
in the middle of a TLS update, use the outdated DTV, thus avoiding
another call into malloc. It's still necessary to update the
DTV to the most recent generation, to get out of the slow path,
which is why the check for recursion is needed.
The bookkeeping is done using a global counter instead of per-thread
flag because TLS access in the dynamic linker is tricky.
All this will go away once the dynamic linker stops using malloc
for TLS, likely as part of a change that pre-allocates all TLS
during pthread_create/dlopen.
Fixes commit d2123d6827 ("elf: Fix slow
tls access after dlopen [BZ #19924]").

The conditionals for several mtrace-based tests in catgets, elf, libio,
malloc, misc, nptl, posix, and stdio-common were incorrect leading to
test failures when bootstrapping glibc without perl.
The correct conditional for mtrace-based tests requires three checks:
first checking for run-built-tests, then build-shared, and lastly that
PERL is not equal to "no" (missing perl).

I've updated copyright dates in glibc for 2024. This is the patch for
the changes not generated by scripts/update-copyrights and subsequent
build / regeneration of generated files.
This is a minimal regression test for bug 29039 which only affects
targets with TLSDESC and a reproducer requires that
1) Have modid gaps (closed modules) with old generation.
2) Update a DTV to a newer generation (needs a newer dlopen).
3) But do not update the closed gap entry in that DTV.
4) Reuse the modid gap for a new module (another dlopen).
5) Use dynamic TLSDESC in that new module with old generation (bug).
6) Access TLS via this TLSDESC and the now outdated DTV.
However step (3) in practice rarely happens: during DTV update the
entries for closed modids are initialized to "unallocated" and then
dynamic TLSDESC calls __tls_get_addr independently of its generation.
The only exception to this is DTV setup at thread creation (gaps are
initialized to NULL instead of unallocated) or DTV resize where the
gap entries are outside the previous DTV array (again NULL instead
of unallocated, and this requires loading > DTV_SURPLUS modules).
So the bug can only cause NULL (+ offset) dereference, not use after
free. And the easiest way to get (3) is via thread creation.
Note that step (5) requires that the newly loaded module has larger
TLS than the remaining optional static TLS. And for (6) there cannot
be other TLS access or dlopen in the thread that updates the DTV.

The tunable parsing duplicates the tunable environment variable so it
null-terminates each one since it simplifies the later parsing. It has
the drawback of adding another point of failure (__minimal_malloc
failing), and the memory copy requires tuning the compiler to avoid mem
operations calls.
The parsing now tracks the tunable start and its size. The
dl-tunable-parse.h adds helper functions to help parsing, like a strcmp
that also checks for size and an iterator for suboptions that are
comma-separated (used on hwcap parsing by x86, powerpc, and s390x).
Since the environment variable is allocated on the stack by the kernel,
it is safe to keep the references to the suboptions for later parsing
of string tunables (as done by set_hwcaps by multiple architectures).
