Simon Kissane bde1218720 gmon: fix memory corruption issues [BZ# 30101]
V2 of this patch fixes an issue in V1, where the state was changed to ON not
OFF at end of _mcleanup. I hadn't noticed that (counterintuitively) ON=0 and
OFF=3, hence zeroing the buffer turned it back on. So set the state to OFF
after the memset.

1. Prevent double free, and reads from unallocated memory, when
   _mcleanup is (incorrectly) called two or more times in a row,
   without an intervening call to __monstartup; with this patch, the
   second and subsequent calls effectively become no-ops instead.
   While setting tos=NULL is minimal fix, safest action is to zero the
   whole gmonparam buffer.

2. Prevent memory leak when __monstartup is (incorrectly) called two
   or more times in a row, without an intervening call to _mcleanup;
   with this patch, the second and subsequent calls effectively become
   no-ops instead.

3. After _mcleanup, treat __moncontrol(1) as __moncontrol(0) instead.
   With zeroing of gmonparam buffer in _mcleanup, this stops the
   state incorrectly being changed to GMON_PROF_ON despite profiling
   actually being off. If we'd just done the minimal fix to _mcleanup
   of setting tos=NULL, there is risk of far worse memory corruption:
   kcount would point to deallocated memory, and the __profil syscall
   would make the kernel write profiling data into that memory,
   which could have since been reallocated to something unrelated.

4. Ensure __moncontrol(0) still turns off profiling even in error
   state. Otherwise, if mcount overflows and sets state to
   GMON_PROF_ERROR, when _mcleanup calls __moncontrol(0), the __profil
   syscall to disable profiling will not be invoked. _mcleanup will
   free the buffer, but the kernel will still be writing profiling
   data into it, potentially corrupted arbitrary memory.

Also adds a test case for (1). Issues (2)-(4) are not feasible to test.

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
	arc*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2

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
