Commit Message

Joe Simmons-Talbott April 11, 2024, 4:53 p.m. UTC
When using the glibc.rtld.enable_secure tunable we need to keep track of
the count of environment variables we skip due to __libc_enable_secure
being set and adjust the auxv section of the stack.  This fixes an
assertion when running ld.so directly with glibc.rtld.enable_secure set.
Add a testcase that ensures the assert is not hit.

elf/rtld.c:1324   assert (auxv == sp + 1);
---
Changes to v2:
* Add testcase that triggers the assertion before this patch and does
  not after the patch.

Changes to v1:
* Add comment explaining how and why skip_env is adjusted.

I think since the idea is to check for running ld.so directly, you will need to
explicit issue the loader:

Otherwise this won't check the bug with --enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests.

The rest looks ok.

Thanks for the review.  I've posted a v4 [1] with this change.
