[PATCHv2 0/2] Environment variable security and tunables

[Siddhesh Poyarekar]

Hi,

Here's take 2 of the patchset that fixes environment variable processing for
AT_SECURE processes.  The second patch removes GLIBC_TUNABLES from AT_SECURE
processes even when tunables are not built, to avoid passing on the variable
(and hence unsafe tunables) to child processes who may end up loading a glibc
with tunables enabled.

I also have a patch pending review that marks GLIBC_TUNABLES as insecure
for 2.24 and earlier:

https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-01/msg00555.html

Changes:

 - Fixed the broken logic to erase tunables from the valstring
 - Added a couple of tests to verify the removal
 - Marked GLIBC_TUNABLES insecure in unsecvars.h
