I ran into a few minor issues while testing this, noted below.

Should this be "GLIBC_TUNABLES=" to prevent matching a bogus prefix?

"sizeof (GLIBC_TUNABLES) - 1"?
With those changes, I was able to use the dynamic TLE patch. Attached is my
updated dynamic TLE patch for those interested. It did not require much
change.

Subject: [PATCH] Add elision tunables
This patch adds several new tunables to control the behavior of
elision on supported platforms. This also disables elision
by default on powerpc.
The tunable names are slightly munged to remove architecture
specific terms. Otherwise, the elision implementation is
roughly identical on all supported platforms.
2016-01-11 Paul E. Murphy <murphyp@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
