Szabolcs Nagy c73c79af7d rtld: Use generic argv adjustment in ld.so [BZ #23293]
When an executable is invoked as

  ./ld.so [ld.so-args] ./exe [exe-args]

then the argv is adujusted in ld.so before calling the entry point of
the executable so ld.so args are not visible to it.  On most targets
this requires moving argv, env and auxv on the stack to ensure correct
stack alignment at the entry point.  This had several issues:

- The code for this adjustment on the stack is written in asm as part
  of the target specific ld.so _start code which is hard to maintain.

- The adjustment is done after _dl_start returns, where it's too late
  to update GLRO(dl_auxv), as it is already readonly, so it points to
  memory that was clobbered by the adjustment. This is bug 23293.

- _environ is also wrong in ld.so after the adjustment, but it is
  likely not used after _dl_start returns so this is not user visible.

- _dl_argv was updated, but for this it was moved out of relro, which
  changes security properties across targets unnecessarily.

This patch introduces a generic _dl_start_args_adjust function that
handles the argument adjustments after ld.so processed its own args
and before relro protection is applied.

The same algorithm is used on all targets, _dl_skip_args is now 0, so
existing target specific adjustment code is no longer used.  The bug
affects aarch64, alpha, arc, arm, csky, ia64, nios2, s390-32 and sparc,
other targets don't need the change in principle, only for consistency.

The GNU Hurd start code relied on _dl_skip_args after dl_main returned,
now it checks directly if args were adjusted and fixes the Hurd startup
data accordingly.

Follow up patches can remove _dl_skip_args and DL_ARGV_NOT_RELRO.

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and cross tested on i686-gnu.

This directory contains the sources of the GNU C Library.
See the file "version.h" for what release version you have.

The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system.  It provides the
system API for all programs written in C and C-compatible languages such
as C++ and Objective C; the runtime facilities of other programming
languages use the C library to access the underlying operating system.

In GNU/Linux systems, the C library works with the Linux kernel to
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[4567]86-*-gnu.

When working with Linux kernels, this version of the GNU C Library
requires Linux kernel version 3.2 or later.

Also note that the shared version of the libgcc_s library must be
installed for the pthread library to work correctly.

The GNU C Library supports these configurations for using Linux kernels:

	aarch64*-*-linux-gnu
	alpha*-*-linux-gnu
	arc*-*-linux-gnu
	arm-*-linux-gnueabi
	csky-*-linux-gnuabiv2

	powerpc-*-linux-gnu	Hardware or software floating point, BE only.
	powerpc64*-*-linux-gnu	Big-endian and little-endian.

If you are interested in doing a port, please contact the glibc
maintainers; see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/ for more
information.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, and install
the GNU C Library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for
the C library at https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/.

The GNU C Library is (almost) completely documented by the Texinfo manual
found in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated
and contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.  For
corrections to the manual, please file a bug in the `manual' component,
following the bug-reporting instructions below.  Please be sure to check
the manual in the current development sources to see if your problem has
already been corrected.

Please see https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html for bug reporting
information.  We are now using the Bugzilla system to track all bug reports.
This web page gives detailed information on how to report bugs properly.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions, and LICENSES for notices about a few contributions that require
these additional notices to be distributed.  License copyright years may be
listed using range notation, e.g., 1996-2015, indicating that every year in
