elf: Fix GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) for static builds [BZ #29864]
The 73fc4e28b9464f0e refactor did not add the GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) for static build, relying on the __ehdr_start symbol, which is always added by the static linker, to get the correct values. This is problematic in some ways: - The segment may see its in-memory size differ from its in-file size (or the binary may have holes). The Linux has fixed is to provide concise values for both AT_PHDR and AT_PHNUM (commit 0da1d5002745c - "fs/binfmt_elf: Fix AT_PHDR for unusual ELF files") - Some archs (alpha for instance) the hidden weak reference is not correctly pulled by the static linker and __ehdr_start address end up being 0, which makes GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) have both invalid values (and triggering a segfault later on libc.so while accessing TLS variables). The safer fix is to just restore the previous behavior to setup GL(dl_phdr) and GL(dl_phnum) for static based on kernel auxv. The __ehdr_start fallback can also be simplified by not assuming weak linkage (as for PIE). The libc-static.c auxv init logic is moved to dl-support.c, since the later is build without SHARED and then GLRO macro is defined to access the variables directly. The _dl_phdr is also assumed to be always non NULL, since an invalid NULL values does not trigger TLS initialization (which is used in various libc systems). Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu, x86_64-linux-gnu, and i686-linux-gnu. Reviewed-by: Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com> (cherry picked from commit 7e31d166510ac4adbf53d5e8144c709a37dd8c7a)
