Reduce the statically linked startup code [BZ #23323]
It turns out the startup code in csu/elf-init.c has a perfect pair of
ROP gadgets (see Marco-Gisbert and Ripoll-Ripoll, "return-to-csu: A
New Method to Bypass 64-bit Linux ASLR"). These functions are not
needed in dynamically-linked binaries because DT_INIT/DT_INIT_ARRAY
are already processed by the dynamic linker. However, the dynamic
linker skipped the main program for some reason. For maximum
backwards compatibility, this is not changed, and instead, the main
map is consulted from __libc_start_main if the init function argument
is a NULL pointer.
For statically linked binaries, the old approach based on linker
symbols is still used because there is nothing else available.
A new symbol version __libc_start_main@@GLIBC_2.34 is introduced because
new binaries running on an old libc would not run their ELF
constructors, leading to difficult-to-debug issues.
posix: Falling back to non wide mode in case of encoding error [BZ #14185]
Gnulib has added the proposed fix with aed23714d60 (done in 2005), but
recently with a glibc merge with 67306f6 (done in 2020 with sync back)

From gnulib developer feedback it was an oversight. Although the full
fix for BZ #14185 would require to rewrite fnmatch implementation to use
mbrtowc instead of mbsrtowcs on the full input, this mitigate the issue
and it has been used by gnulib for a long time.
This patch also removes the alloca usage on the string convertion to
wide characters before calling the internal function.

on internal_statvfs.c. The alpha is now unrequired, the generic
implementation also handles it.
Also, remove unused includes on internal_statvfs.c, and remove
unused arguments on __internal_statvfs{64}.
There is no need to handle ENOSYS on fstatfs64 call, required only
for alpha (where is already fallbacks to fstatfs). The wordsize
internal_statvfs64.c is removed, since how the LFS support is
provided by fstatvfs64.c (used on 64-bit architectures as well).
The __NR_statfs64 syscall is supported on all architectures but
aarch64, mips64, riscv64, and x86_64. And newer ABIs also uses
the new statfs64 interface (where the struct size is used as
second argument).
So the default implementation now uses:
1. __NR_statfs64 for non-LFS call and handle overflow directly
There is no need to handle __NR_statfs since all architectures
that only support are LFS only.
2. __NR_statfs if defined or __NR_statfs64 otherwise for LFS
call.
Alpha is the only outlier, since it is a 64-bit architecture which
provides non-LFS interface and only provides __NR_statfs64 on
newer kernels (v5.1+).
The __NR_fstatfs64 syscall is supported on all architectures but
aarch64, mips64, riscv64, and x86_64. And newer ABIs also uses
the new fstatfs64 interface (where the struct size is used as

There is no need to handle __NR_fstatfs since all architectures

2. __NR_fstatfs if defined or __NR_fstatfs64 otherwise for LFS
call.
Alpha is the only outlier, it is a 64-bit architecture which
provides non-LFS interface and only provides __NR_fstatfs64 on
newer kernels (5.1+).
Currently glibc has three different struct statfs{64} definitions:
1. Non-LFS support where non-LFS and LFS struct have different
size: alpha, arm, hppa, i686, m68k, microblaze, mips (all abis),
powerpc32, s390, sh4, and sparc.
2. Non-LFS support where non-LFS and LFS struct have the same
size: csky and nios2.
3. Only LFS support (where both struct have the same size): arc,
ia64, powerpc64 (including LE), riscv (both 32 and 64 bits),
s390x, sparc64, and x86 (including x32).
The STATFS_IS_STATFS64/__STATFS_MATCHES_STATFS64 does not tell apart
between 1. and 2. since for both the only difference is the struct
size (for 2. both non-LFS and LFS uses the same syscall, where for
1. the old non-LFS is used for [f]statfs).
This patch move the generic statfs.h for both csky and nios2, and
make the default definitions for newer ABIs to assume that only
LFS will be support (so there is no need to keep no-LFS and LFS
struct statfs with the same size, it will be implicit).
The XSTAT_IS_XSTAT64 and STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT flags are now set to 1 and
STATFS_IS_STATFS64 is set to __STATFS_MATCHES_STATFS64. This makes the
default ABI for newer ports to provide only LFS calls.
A copy of non-LFS support is provided to 32-bit ABIS with non-LFS
support (arm, csky, i386, m68k, nios2, s390, and sh). Is also allows
to remove the 64-bit ports, which already uses the default values.
aarch64, arc, ia64, mips64, powerpc64, riscv32, riscv64, s390x, sparc64,
and x86_64 defines STATFS_IS_STATFS64 to 0, but all of them alias
statfs to statfs64 and the struct statfs has the same and layout of
struct statfs64.
The correct definition will be used on the [f]statfs[64] consolidation.
This patch does not change code generation since the symbols are
implemented using the auto-generation syscall for all the aforementioned
ABIs.
tunables: Disallow negative values for some tunables
The glibc.malloc.mmap_max tunable as well as al of the INT_32 tunables
don't have use for negative values, so pin the hardcoded limits in the
non-negative range of INT. There's no real benefit in any of those
use cases for the extended range of unsigned, so I have avoided added
a new type to keep things simple.
The TUNABLE_SET interface took a primitive C type argument, which
resulted in inconsistent type conversions internally due to incorrect
dereferencing of types, especialy on 32-bit architectures. This
change simplifies the TUNABLE setting logic along with the interfaces.
Now all numeric tunable values are stored as signed numbers in
tunable_num_t, which is intmax_t. All calls to set tunables cast the
input value to its primitive type and then to tunable_num_t for
storage. This relies on gcc-specific (although I suspect other
compilers woul also do the same) unsigned to signed integer conversion
semantics, i.e. the bit pattern is conserved. The reverse conversion
is guaranteed by the standard.

2. Default symbol without IPC_64 (defined as IPC_OLD within Linux) and
glibc always use IPC_64 for 32-bit ABIs (to support 64-bit time_t).
It means that 32-bit binaries running on 32-bit kernels will not see

elf: Fix tests that rely on ld.so.cache for cross-compiling
For configurations with cross-compiling equal to 'maybe' or 'no',
ldconfig will not run and thus the ld.so.cache will not be created
on the container testroot.pristine.
This lead to failures on both tst-glibc-hwcaps-prepend-cache and
tst-ldconfig-ld_so_conf-update on environments where the same
compiler can be used to build different ABIs (powerpc and x86 for
instance).
This patch addas a new test-container hook, ldconfig.run, that
triggers a ldconfig execution prior the test execution.
