Szabolcs Nagy 0c7b002fac rtld: Add rtld.nns tunable for the number of supported namespaces
TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS is 1664 bytes currently which is not enough to
support DL_NNS (== 16) number of dynamic link namespaces, if we
assume 192 bytes of TLS are reserved for libc use and 144 bytes
are reserved for other system libraries that use IE TLS.

A new tunable is introduced to control the number of supported
namespaces and to adjust the surplus static TLS size as follows:

surplus_tls = 192 * (rtld.nns-1) + 144 * rtld.nns + 512

The default is rtld.nns == 4 and then the surplus TLS size is the
same as before, so the behaviour is unchanged by default. If an
application creates more namespaces than the rtld.nns setting
allows, then it is not guaranteed to work, but the limit is not
checked. So existing usage will continue to work, but in the
future if an application creates more than 4 dynamic link
namespaces then the tunable will need to be set.

In this patch DL_NNS is a fixed value and provides a maximum to
the rtld.nns setting.

Static linking used fixed 2048 bytes surplus TLS, this is changed
so the same contract is used as for dynamic linking.  With static
linking DL_NNS == 1 so rtld.nns tunable is forced to 1, so by
default the surplus TLS is reduced to 144 + 512 = 656 bytes. This
change is not expected to cause problems.

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2
	hppa-*-linux-gnu
	i[4567]86-*-linux-gnu
	x86_64-*-linux-gnu	Can build either x86_64 or x32
	ia64-*-linux-gnu
	m68k-*-linux-gnu
	microblaze*-*-linux-gnu
	mips-*-linux-gnu
	mips64-*-linux-gnu
	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.
	s390-*-linux-gnu
	s390x-*-linux-gnu
	riscv64-*-linux-gnu
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
	sparc*-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
the range, inclusive, is a copyrightable year that would otherwise be listed
individually.
