[PATCH][BZ #17078] ARM: R_ARM_TLS_DESC prelinker support


Hello,

 Here is a change to the dynamic linker to add prelinker support for the 
R_ARM_TLS_DESC relocation.  Two cases can be considered here, the usual 
one where lazy binding is in use and the less frequent one, where 
immediate binding is requested via the use of the DF_BIND_NOW dynamic flag 
(e.g. by using the GNU linker's "-z now" option).

 The change below only handle the first case.  In this scenario the 
prelinker does what the dynamic linker would do, that is preinitialises 
R_ARM_TLS_DESC relocations with a pointer to the lazy specialisation as 
provided with the DT_TLSDESC_PLT dynamic tag.  A conflict is additionally 
created and in the conflict resolution path the dynamic linker complements 
the work by initialising the object's pointer as indicated by the 
DT_TLSDESC_GOT dynamic tag to the linker's internal lazy specialisation 
worker function and also providing the associated link map in the second 
entry of the GOT.  This step is required, because if prelinking is 
successful at the run time, then the dynamic linker's 
elf_machine_runtime_setup() function isn't called that would normally do 
so.

 The second case remains unresolved, because support for that scenario has 
not been implemented in the prelinker.  In this case the lazy 
specialisation is unavailable and the DT_TLSDESC_PLT dynamic tag is not 
present.

 The prelinker could assume the common case of static specialisation and 
resolve the relocation, but that would require the exposure of dynamic 
linker's specialisation worker function.  Furthermore the dynamic linker 
would have to handle the relocation in the conflict resoultion path and 
see if the dynamic specialisation shouldn't be used instead.  This however 
would require access to data structures currently not made available to 
the conflict resoultion path and therefore a redesign of this part of the 
dynamic linker.

 Alternatively the prelinker could defer all processing to the dynamic 
linker's conflict resolution path, but that would require similar access 
to the said data structures.

 Therefore the prelinker issues an error instead and the dynamic linker 
has assertions to check that DT_TLSDESC_PLT and DT_TLSDESC_GOT are in use 
in its conflict resolution path.

 The changes below resolve all TLS failures in the prelinker testsuite, 
as noted in the bug report, as well as the small test case provided there.  
Unfortunately we don't seem to have any hooks to factor in the prelinker 
(if present on a system) to testing, so unless someone has an idea how to 
do that, this fix will have to rely on using the prelinker test suite and 
enabling TLS descriptors there for coverage.

 This has been verified across a number of multilibs with no regressions 
in our test suite.  OK to apply?
