563a44c171 Change compiler setting to make default visibility of the symbols for
rtld on x86 to be hidden.  This is a micro-optimization, which allows
intrinsic references inside rtld to be handled without indirection
through PLT.  The visibility of rtld symbols for other objects in the
symbol namespace is controlled by a version script.

cefd8b2a41 Implement support for ELF filters in rtld. Both normal and auxillary
filters are implemented.

Filtees are loaded on demand, unless LD_LOADFLTR environment variable
is set or -z loadfltr was specified during the linking. This forces
rtld to upgrade read-locked rtld_bind_lock to write lock when it
encounters an object with filter during symbol lookup.

Consolidate common arguments of the symbol lookup functions in the
SymLook structure.  Track the state of the rtld locks in the
RtldLockState structure. Pass local RtldLockState through the rtld
symbol lookup calls to allow lock upgrades.

af7a67c13c Provide custom simple allocator for rtld locks in libthr. The allocator
does not use any external symbols, thus avoiding possible recursion into
rtld to resolve symbols, when called.

b683fcf692 Add two rtld exported symbols, _rtld_atfork_pre and _rtld_atfork_post.
Threading library calls _pre before the fork, allowing the rtld to
lock itself to ensure that other threads of the process are out of
dynamic linker. _post releases the locks.

This allows the rtld to have consistent state in the child. Although
child may legitimately call only async-safe functions, the call may
need plt relocation resolution, and this requires working rtld.

60e5d7d052 Fix the problem with the C++ exception handling for the multithreaded
programs.

From the PR description:
The gcc runtime's _Unwind_Find_FDE function, invoked during exception
handling's stack unwinding, is not safe to execute from within multiple
threads. FreeBSD' s dl_iterate_phdr() however permits multiple threads
to pass through it though. The result is surprisingly reliable infinite
looping of one or more threads if they just happen to be unwinding at
the same time.

Introduce the new lock that is write locked around the dl_iterate_pdr,
thus providing required exclusion for the stack unwinders.

949c40c5fd Allow threading libraries to register their own locking
implementation in case default one provided by rtld is
not suitable.

Consolidate various identical MD lock implementation into
a single file using appropriate machine/atomic.h.
