clean up and refactor program initialization the code in __libc_start_main is now responsible for parsing auxv, rather than duplicating the parsing all over the place. this should shave off a few cycles and some code size. __init_libc is left as an external-linkage function despite the fact that it could be static, to prevent it from being inlined and permanently wasting stack space when main is called. a few other minor changes are included, like eliminating per-thread ssp canaries (they were likely broken when combined with certain dlopen usages, and completely unnecessary) and some other unnecessary checks. since this code gets linked into every program, it should be as small and simple as possible.

support linux kernel apis (new archs) with old syscalls removed such archs are expected to omit definitions of the SYS_* macros for syscalls their kernels lack from arch/$ARCH/bits/syscall.h. the preprocessor is then able to select the an appropriate implementation for affected functions. two basic strategies are used on a case-by-case basis: where the old syscalls correspond to deprecated library-level functions, the deprecated functions have been converted to wrappers for the modern function, and the modern function has fallback code (omitted at the preprocessor level on new archs) to make use of the old syscalls if the new syscall fails with ENOSYS. this also improves functionality on older kernels and eliminates the incentive to program with deprecated library-level functions for the sake of compatibility with older kernels. in other situations where the old syscalls correspond to library-level functions which are not deprecated but merely lack some new features, such as the *at functions, the old syscalls are still used on archs which support them. this may change at some point in the future if or when fallback code is added to the new functions to make them usable (possibly with reduced functionality) on old kernels.

TLS (GNU/C11 thread-local storage) support for static-linked programs the design for TLS in dynamic-linked programs is mostly complete too, but I have not yet implemented it. cost is nonzero but still low for programs which do not use TLS and/or do not use threads (a few hundred bytes of new code, plus dependency on memcpy). i believe it can be made smaller at some point by merging __init_tls and __init_security into __libc_start_main and avoiding duplicate auxv-parsing code. at the same time, I've also slightly changed the logic pthread_create uses to allocate guard pages to ensure that guard pages are not counted towards commit charge.

remove undef weak refs to init/fini array symbols in libc.so commit ad1cd43a86645ba2d4f7c8747240452a349d6bc1 eliminated preprocessor-level omission of references to the init/fini array symbols from object files going into libc.so. the references are weak, and the intent was that the linker would resolve them to zero in libc.so, but instead it leaves undefined references that could be satisfied at runtime. normally these references would be harmless, since the code using them does not even get executed, but some older binutils versions produce a linking error: when linking a program against libc.so, ld first tries to use the hidden init/fini array symbols produced by the linker script to satisfy the references in libc.so, then produces an error because the definitions are hidden. ideally ld would have already provided definitions of these symbols when linking libc.so, but the linker script for -shared omits them. to avoid this situation, the dynamic linker now provides its own dummy definitions of the init/fini array symbols for libc.so. since they are hidden, everything binds at ld time and no references remain in the dynamic symbol table. with modern binutils and --gc-sections, both the dummy empty array objects and the code referencing them get dropped at link time, anyway. the _init and _fini symbols are also switched back to using weak definitions rather than weak references since the latter behave somewhat problematically in general, and the weak definition approach was known to work well.

add support for init/fini array in main program, and greatly simplify modern (4.7.x and later) gcc uses init/fini arrays, rather than the legacy _init/_fini function pasting and crtbegin/crtend ctors/dtors system, on most or all archs. some archs had already switched a long time ago. without following this change, global ctors/dtors will cease to work under musl when building with new gcc versions. the most surprising part of this patch is that it actually reduces the size of the init code, for both static and shared libc. this is achieved by (1) unifying the handling main program and shared libraries in the dynamic linker, and (2) eliminating the glibc-inspired rube goldberg machine for passing around init and fini function pointers. to clarify, some background: the function signature for __libc_start_main was based on glibc, as part of the original goal of being able to run some glibc-linked binaries. it worked by having the crt1 code, which is linked into every application, static or dynamic, obtain and pass pointers to the init and fini functions, which __libc_start_main is then responsible for using and recording for later use, as necessary. however, in neither the static-linked nor dynamic-linked case do we actually need crt1.o's help. with dynamic linking, all the pointers are available in the _DYNAMIC block. with static linking, it's safe to simply access the _init/_fini and __init_array_start, etc. symbols directly. obviously changing the __libc_start_main function signature in an incompatible way would break both old musl-linked programs and glibc-linked programs, so let's not do that. instead, the function can just ignore the information it doesn't need. new archs need not even provide the useless args in their versions of crt1.o. existing archs should continue to provide it as long as there is an interest in having newly-linked applications be able to run on old versions of musl; at some point in the future, this support can be removed.

micro-optimize some startup code for size moving the call to __init_ssp from __init_security to __init_libc makes __init_security a leaf function, which allows the compiler to make it smaller. __init_libc is already non-leaf, and the additional call makes no difference to the amount of register spillage. in addition, it really made no sense for the call to __init_ssp to be buried inside __init_security rather than parallel with other init functions.

support configurable page size on mips, powerpc and microblaze PAGE_SIZE was hardcoded to 4096, which is historically what most systems use, but on several archs it is a kernel config parameter, user space can only know it at execution time from the aux vector. PAGE_SIZE and PAGESIZE are not defined on archs where page size is a runtime parameter, applications should use sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE) to query it. Internally libc code defines PAGE_SIZE to libc.page_size, which is set to aux[AT_PAGESZ] in __init_libc and early in __dynlink as well. (Note that libc.page_size can be accessed without GOT, ie. before relocations are done) Some fpathconf settings are hardcoded to 4096, these should be actually queried from the filesystem using statfs.

__init_libc: add fallbacks for __progname setup It is possible for argv[0] to be a null pointer, but the __progname variable is used to implement functions in src/legacy/err.c that do not expect it to be null. It is also available to the user via the program_invocation_name alias as a GNU extension, and the implementation in Glibc initializes it to a pointer to empty string rather than NULL. Since argv[0] is usually non-null and it's preferable to keep those variables in BSS, implement the fallbacks in __init_libc, which also allows to have an intermediate fallback to AT_EXECFN.

for executing init array functions, use function type with prototype this is for consistency with the way it's done in in the dynamic linker, avoiding a deprecated C feature (non-prototype function types), and improving code generation. GCC unnecessarily uses the variadic calling convention (e.g. clearing rax on x86_64) when making a call where the argument types are not known for compatibility with wrong code which calls variadic functions this way. (C on the other hand is clear that such calls have undefined behavior.)

move calls to application init functions after crt1 entry point this change is needed to be compatible with fdpic, where some of the main application's relocations may be performed as part of the crt1 entry point. if we call init functions before passing control, these relocations will not yet have been performed, and the init code will potentially make use of invalid pointers. conceptually, no code provided by the application or third-party libraries should run before the application entry point. the difference is not observable to programs using the crt1 we provide, but it could come into play if custom entry point code is used, so it's better to be doing this right anyway.

fix ordering of shared library ctors with respect to libc init previously, shared library constructors were being called before important internal things like the environment (extern char **environ) and hwcap flags (needed for sjlj to work right with float on arm) were initialized in __libc_start_main. rather than trying to have to dynamic linker make sure this stuff all gets initialized right, I've opted to just defer calling shared library constructors until after the main program's entry point is reached. this also fixes the order of ctors to be the exact reverse of dtors, which is a desirable property and possibly even mandated by some languages. the main practical effect of this change is that shared libraries calling getenv from ctors will no longer fail.
