Szabolcs Nagy b7cf203b5c aarch64: Disable lazy symbol binding of TLSDESC
Always do TLS descriptor initialization at load time during relocation
processing to avoid barriers at every TLS access. In non-dlopened shared
libraries the overhead of tls access vs static global access is > 3x
bigger when lazy initialization is used (_dl_tlsdesc_return_lazy)
compared to bind-now (_dl_tlsdesc_return) so the barriers dominate tls
access performance.

TLSDESC relocs are in DT_JMPREL which are processed at load time using
elf_machine_lazy_rel which is only supposed to do lightweight
initialization using the DT_TLSDESC_PLT trampoline (the trampoline code
jumps to the entry point in DT_TLSDESC_GOT which does the lazy tlsdesc
initialization at runtime).  This patch changes elf_machine_lazy_rel
in aarch64 to do the symbol binding and initialization as if DF_BIND_NOW
was set, so the non-lazy code path of elf/do-rel.h was replicated.

The static linker could be changed to emit TLSDESC relocs in DT_REL*,
which are processed non-lazily, but the goal of this patch is to always
guarantee bind-now semantics, even if the binary was produced with an
old linker, so the barriers can be dropped in tls descriptor functions.

After this change the synchronizing ldar instructions can be dropped
as well as the lazy initialization machinery including the DT_TLSDESC_GOT
setup.

I believe this should be done on all targets, including ones where no
barrier is needed for lazy initialization.  There is very little gain in
optimizing for large number of symbolic tlsdesc relocations which is an
extremely uncommon case.  And currently the tlsdesc entries are only
readonly protected with -z now and some hardennings against writable
JUMPSLOT relocs don't work for TLSDESC so they are a security hazard.
(But to fix that the static linker has to be changed.)

	* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_lazy_rel): Do symbol
	binding and initialization non-lazily for R_AARCH64_TLSDESC.

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.  The current
GNU/Hurd support requires out-of-tree patches that will eventually be
incorporated into an official GNU C Library release.

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
	hppa-*-linux-gnu	Not currently functional without patches.
	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
	sh[34]-*-linux-gnu
	sparc*-*-linux-gnu
	sparc64*-*-linux-gnu
	tilegx-*-linux-gnu
	tilepro-*-linux-gnu

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see http://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 http://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 http://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
