Catch up with all the lint warnings since exit on warning was disabled.
Disable 'missing header declaration' and 'nested extern' warnings for now.

libc: Use RB_TREE_INITIALIZER to nix initfini.c/_env.c coupling.

Doesn't actually help to remove _env.c from programs that don't use
it, though, because various internal things like __diagassert13 still
call getenv.

Instead of compiling files with -fcommon, create an include file and declare
the 3 symbols that need to be common using an attribute. Put all the 3 symbol
definitions in libc in one place (initfini.c). Reviewed by joerg@

# 1.14 17-Jun-2017 joerg

PR 51654: Don't initialize _dlauxinfo for static binaries.

Emacs likes save all memory of the main binary and the first run of
_libc_init via .init will get the wrong (old) value of __ps_strings.
By avoiding the initialization of _dlauxinfo for shared applications,
it will be touched only by the _libc_init call from crt0.o itself,
at which point __ps_strings is correct.

Add _dlauxinfo helper function to provide access to the ELF auxilary
vector. This can normally be found via __ps_strings, but libc is
initialised too early when linked dynamically and doesn't have access to
it yet, so provide an alternative mechanism via ld.elf_so.
Bump libc minor.

Add TLS support infrastructure. For dynamic binaries, ld.elf_so exports
_rtld_tls_allocate and _rtld_tls_free. libpthread uses this functions to
setup the thread private area of all new threads. ld.elf_so is
responsible for setting up the private area for the initial thread.
Similar functions are called from _libc_init for static binaries, using
dl_iterate_phdr to access the ELF Program Header.

Add test cases to exercise the different TLS storage models. Test cases
are compiled and installed on all platforms, but are skipped on
platforms not marked for TLS support.

This material is based upon work partially supported by
The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.

It is inspired by the TLS support in FreeBSD by Doug Rabson and the
clean ups of the DragonFly port of the original FreeBSD modifications.


# 1.8 07-Mar-2011 joerg

Pass down ELF Auxillary Vectors for static NetBSD binaries too.
Rename __libc_init to _libc_init and call it explicitly from CSU code.
This enforces the constructor run order for newly linked programs.
Keep it as constructor with run-once semantic for binary compatibility.
Implement dl_iterate_phdr for statically linked programs.

The NetBSD Foundation under a contract with Joerg Sonnenberger.

# 1.7 14-Nov-2010 tron

Improve and simplify implementation of *env(3) functions:
- Use RB tree to keep track of memory allocated via setenv(3) as
suggested by Enami Tsugutomo in private e-mail.
This simplifies the code a lot as we no longer need to keep the size
of "environ" in sync with an array of allocated environment variables.
It also makes it possible to free environment variables in unsetenv(3)
if something has changed the order of the "environ" array.
- Fix a bug in getenv(3) and getenv_r(3) which would return bogus
results e.g. for " getenv("A=B") " if an environment variable "A"
with value "B=C" exists.
- Clean up the internal functions:
- Don't expose the read/write lock for the environment to other parts
of "libc". Provide locking functions instead.
- Use "bool" to report success or failure.
- Use "ssize_t" or "size_t" instead of "int" for indexes.
- Provide internal functions with simpler interfaces e.g. don't
combine return values and reference arguments.
- Don't copy "environ" into an allocated block unless we really need
to grow it.

Code reviewed by Joerg Sonnenberger and Christos Zoulas, tested by
Joerg Sonnenberger and me. These changes also fix problems in
zsh 4.3.* and pam_ssh according to Joerg.


# 1.6 28-Jun-2010 joerg

Ensure that initfini.c is referenced by exit.c. The start up code has to
reference the latter as a return of main() results in a call to exit(3),
so this ensures that the libc constructors are run for statically linked
programs. Fixes PR 37454.

- stack_protector.c doesn't really belong under sys/. Add a new directory
for misc support routines and put it there.
- Add a libc constructor. Use this to initialize threading and the
stack protector stuff. libpthread cannot be initialized safely using
its own constructor because libc and libpthread are deeply intertwined.
