Florian Weimer 035c012e32 Reduce the statically linked startup code [BZ #23323]
It turns out the startup code in csu/elf-init.c has a perfect pair of
ROP gadgets (see Marco-Gisbert and Ripoll-Ripoll, "return-to-csu: A
New Method to Bypass 64-bit Linux ASLR").  These functions are not
needed in dynamically-linked binaries because DT_INIT/DT_INIT_ARRAY
are already processed by the dynamic linker.  However, the dynamic
linker skipped the main program for some reason.  For maximum
backwards compatibility, this is not changed, and instead, the main
map is consulted from __libc_start_main if the init function argument
is a NULL pointer.

For statically linked binaries, the old approach based on linker
symbols is still used because there is nothing else available.

A new symbol version __libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.34 is introduced because
new binaries running on an old libc would not run their ELF
constructors, leading to difficult-to-debug issues.

/* This is the canonical entry point, usually the first thing in the text
segment.
Note that the code in the .init section has already been run.
This includes _init and _libc_init
The stack pointer, sp, will point to the argument count on the stack.
The initial state of the stack when a userspace process is started is:
Purpose Start Address Length
Unspecified High Addresses
Referenced strings, etc. Varies
Unspecified
Null auxilliary vector entry 4bytes
Auxilliary vector entries 8bytes each
NULL terminator for envp 4bytes
Environment pointers sp+8+4*argc 4bytes each
NULL terminator for argv sp+4+4*argc 4bytes
Argument pointers sp+4 4bytes each
Argument count sp 4bytes
Unspecified Low Addresses
If the application should register a destructor function with atexit,
the pointer will be placed in r4. Otherwise r4 will be zero.
The contents of all other registers are unspecified. User code should
set fp to zero to mark the end of the frame chain.
The auxilliary vector is a series of pairs of 32-bit tag and 32-bit
value, terminated by an AT_NULL tag.
