[PR19826] fix non-LE TLS in static programs


An earlier fix for TLS dropped early initialization of DTV entries for
modules using static TLS, leaving it for __tls_get_addr to set them
up.  That worked on platforms that require the GD access model to be
relaxed to LE in the main executable, but it caused a regression on
platforms that allow GD in the main executable, particularly in
statically-linked programs: they use a custom __tls_get_addr that does
not update the DTV, which fails when the DTV early initialization is
not performed.

In static programs, __libc_setup_tls performs the DTV initialization
for the main thread, but the DTV of other threads is set up in
_dl_allocate_tls_init, so that's the fix that matters.

Restoring the initialization in the remaining functions modified by
this patch was just for uniformity.  It's not clear that it is ever
needed: even on platforms that allow GD in the main executable, the
dynamically-linked version of __tls_get_addr would set up the DTV
entries, even for static TLS modules, while updating the DTV counter.


Thanks to Andreas Schwab for the hints and the testing on ARM, and
Joseph Myers for the hint.  I've regression-tested this myself on
x86_64-linux-gnu, but the problem couldn't be triggered on that platform
to begin with.

Ok to install?


for  ChangeLog

	[BZ #19826]
	* elf/dl-tls.c (_dl_allocate_tls_init): Restore DTV early
	initialization of static TLS entries.
	* elf/dl-reloc.c (_dl_nothread_init_static_tls): Likewise.
	* nptl/allocatestack.c (init_one_static_tls): Likewise.
