The elf/elf.h header is shared, verbatim, by the elfutils project.
However, elfutils can be used on systems with libcs other than glibc,
making the presence of __BEGIN_DECLS, __END_DECLS and <features.h> in
the file something that downstream distros may have to add patches for.
Furthermore, this file doesn't declare anything with language linkage,
so `extern "C" {}` blocks aren't necessary; it also doesn't have any
conditional definitions based on feature test macros, making inclusion
of features.h unnecessary.
The SXID_* tunable properties only influence processes that are
AT_SECURE, so make that a bit more explicit in the documentation and
comment.
Revisiting the code after a few years I managed to confuse myself, so
I imagine there could be others who may have incorrectly assumed like
I did that the SXID_ERASE tunables are not inherited by children of
non-AT_SECURE processes.

The kernel ABI is not finalized, and there are now various proposals

On some targets static TLS surplus area can be used opportunistically
for dynamically loaded modules such that the TLS access then becomes
faster (TLSDESC and powerpc TLS optimization). However we don't want
all surplus TLS to be used for this optimization because dynamically
loaded modules with initial-exec model TLS can only use surplus TLS.
The new contract for surplus static TLS use is:
- libc.so can have up to 192 bytes of IE TLS,
- other system libraries together can have up to 144 bytes of IE TLS.
- Some "optional" static TLS is available for opportunistic use.
The optional TLS is now tunable: rtld.optional_static_tls, so users
can directly affect the allocated static TLS size. (Note that module
unloading with dlclose does not reclaim static TLS. After the optional
TLS runs out, TLS access is no longer optimized to use static TLS.)
The default setting of rtld.optional_static_tls is 512 so the surplus
TLS is 3*192 + 4*144 + 512 = 1664 by default, the same as before.
Fixes BZ #25051.
Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

The new static TLS surplus size computation is
surplus_tls = 192 * (nns-1) + 144 * nns + 512
where nns is controlled via the rtld.nns tunable. This commit
accounts audit modules too so nns = rtld.nns + audit modules.
rtld.nns should only include the namespaces required by the
application, namespaces for audit modules are accounted on top
of that so audit modules don't use up the static TLS that is
reserved for the application. This allows loading many audit
modules without tuning rtld.nns or using up static TLS, and it
fixes
FAIL: elf/tst-auditmany
Note that DL_NNS is currently a hard upper limit for nns, and
if rtld.nns + audit modules go over the limit that's a fatal
error. By default rtld.nns is 4 which allows 12 audit modules.
Counting the audit modules is based on existing audit string
parsing code, we cannot use GLRO(dl_naudit) before the modules
are actually loaded.
TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS is 1664 bytes currently which is not enough to
support DL_NNS (== 16) number of dynamic link namespaces, if we
assume 192 bytes of TLS are reserved for libc use and 144 bytes
are reserved for other system libraries that use IE TLS.
A new tunable is introduced to control the number of supported
namespaces and to adjust the surplus static TLS size as follows:
surplus_tls = 192 * (rtld.nns-1) + 144 * rtld.nns + 512
The default is rtld.nns == 4 and then the surplus TLS size is the
same as before, so the behaviour is unchanged by default. If an
application creates more namespaces than the rtld.nns setting
allows, then it is not guaranteed to work, but the limit is not
checked. So existing usage will continue to work, but in the
future if an application creates more than 4 dynamic link
namespaces then the tunable will need to be set.
In this patch DL_NNS is a fixed value and provides a maximum to
the rtld.nns setting.
Static linking used fixed 2048 bytes surplus TLS, this is changed
so the same contract is used as for dynamic linking. With static
linking DL_NNS == 1 so rtld.nns tunable is forced to 1, so by
default the surplus TLS is reduced to 144 + 512 = 656 bytes. This
change is not expected to cause problems.
Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.

Since thread creation from inner namespaces does not work,
pthread_create can update __libc_single_threaded directly.

Register rseq TLS for each thread (including main), and unregister for

Those are based on glibc master branch commit 3ee1e0ec5c.
The rseq system call was merged into Linux 4.18.
The TLS_STATIC_SURPLUS define is increased to leave additional room for
dlopen'd initial-exec TLS, which keeps elf/tst-auditmany working.
The increase (76 bytes) is larger than 32 bytes because it has not been
increased in quite a while. The cost in terms of additional TLS storage
is quite significant, but it will also obscure some initial-exec-related
dlopen failures.
Now that ldconfig defaults to the new format (only), check for it

no longer useful.
The entire mechanism is not well-designed because it causes the
