elf: Add _dl_find_object function
It can be used to speed up the libgcc unwinder, and the internal
_dl_find_dso_for_object function (which is used for caller
identification in dlopen and related functions, and in dladdr).
_dl_find_object is in the internal namespace due to bug 28503.
If libgcc switches to _dl_find_object, this namespace issue will
be fixed. It is located in libc for two reasons: it is necessary
to forward the call to the static libc after static dlopen, and
there is a link ordering issue with -static-libgcc and libgcc_eh.a
because libc.so is not a linker script that includes ld.so in the
glibc build tree (so that GCC's internal -lc after libgcc_eh.a does
not pick up ld.so).
It is necessary to do the i386 customization in the
sysdeps/x86/bits/dl_find_object.h header shared with x86-64 because
otherwise, multilib installations are broken.
The implementation uses software transactional memory, as suggested
by Torvald Riegel. Two copies of the supporting data structures are
used, also achieving full async-signal-safety.
And use machine-sp.h instead. The Linux implementation is based on
already provided CURRENT_STACK_FRAME (used on nptl code) and
STACK_GROWS_UPWARD is replaced with _STACK_GROWS_UP.

__pselect32() was added to cover the case of kernels < 3.15 which lack
the pselect6 system call.
This new file sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/pselect32.c takes
precedence over the default implementation
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pselect32.c.
However sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pselect32.c provides an implementation
of __pselect32() which is needed when __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS is not
defined. On Microblaze, which is a 32-bit architecture,
__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS is only true for kernels >= 5.1.
Due to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/pselect32.c taking
precedence over sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pselect32.c, it means that
when we are with a kernel >= 3.15 but < 5.1, we need a __pselect32()
implementation, but sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/microblaze/pselect32.c
doesn't provide it, and sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pselect32.c which
would provide it is not compiled in.
This causes the following build failure on Microblaze with for example
Linux kernel headers 4.9:

The dl_main sets the LM_ID_BASE to RT_ADD just before starting to
add load new shared objects. The state is set to RT_CONSISTENT just
after all objects are loaded.
However if a audit modules tries to dlmopen an inexistent module,
the _dl_open will assert that the namespace is in an inconsistent
state.
This is different than dlopen, since first it will not use
LM_ID_BASE and second _dl_map_object_from_fd is the sole responsible
to set and reset the r_state value.
So the assert on _dl_open can not really be seen if the state is
consistent, since _dt_main resets it. This patch removes the assert.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.
The vDSO is is listed in the link_map chain, but is never the subject of
an la_objopen call. A new internal flag __RTLD_VDSO is added that
acts as __RTLD_OPENEXEC to allocate the required 'struct auditstate'
extra space for the 'struct link_map'.
The return value from the callback is currently ignored, since there
is no PLT call involved by glibc when using the vDSO, neither the vDSO
are exported directly.

The rtld-audit interfaces introduces a slowdown due to enabling

the slowdown can be avoided.
The following patch adjusts the logic that enables profiling to iterate
over all audit modules and check if any of those provides a PLT hook.
To keep la_symbind to work even without PLT callbacks, _dl_fixup now
calls the audit callback if the modules implements it.

arm: Guard ucontext _rtld_global_ro access by SHARED, not PIC macro
Due to PIE-by-default, PIC is now defined in more cases. libc.a
does not have _rtld_global_ro, and statically linking setcontext
fails. SHARED is the right condition to use, so that libc.a
references _dl_hwcap instead of _rtld_global_ro.
For static PIE support, the !SHARED case would still have to be made
PIC. This patch does not achieve that.
I (and maybe one or two others) added a (C) to the copyright notice
regardless of the contribution checklist[1] not mentioning it. Fix all
these instances so that the notice reads as "Copyright The GNU Toolchain

Remove upper limit on tunable MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD
The current limit on MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD is either 1 Mbyte (for
32-bit apps) or 32 Mbytes (for 64-bit apps). This value was set by a
patch dated 2006 (15 years ago). Attempts to set the threshold higher
are currently ignored.
The default behavior is appropriate for many highly parallel
applications where many processes or threads are sharing RAM. In other
situations where the number of active processes or threads closely
matches the number of cores, a much higher limit may be desired by the
application designer. By today's standards on personal computers and
small servers, 2 Gbytes of RAM per core is commonly available. On
larger systems 4 Gbytes or more of RAM is sometimes available.
Instead of raising the limit to match current needs, this patch
proposes to remove the limit of the tunable, leaving the decision up
to the user of a tunable to judge the best value for their needs.
This patch does not change any of the defaults for malloc tunables,
retaining the current behavior of the dynamic malloc mmap threshold.
