2017-06-07	Make LD_HWCAP_MASK usable for static binaries	Siddhesh Poyarekar
	The LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable was ignored in static binaries, which is inconsistent with the behaviour of dynamically linked binaries. This seems to have been because of the inability of ld_hwcap_mask being read early enough to influence anything but now that it is in tunables, the mask is usable in static binaries as well. This feature is important for aarch64, which relies on HWCAP_CPUID being masked out to disable multiarch. A sanity test on x86_64 shows that there are no failures. Likewise for aarch64. * elf/dl-hwcaps.h [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Always read hwcap_mask. * sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/dl-machine.h [HAVE_TUNABLES]: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Always set up hwcap and hwcap_mask.
2017-06-07	tunables: Use glibc.tune.hwcap_mask tunable instead of _dl_hwcap_mask	Siddhesh Poyarekar
	Drop _dl_hwcap_mask when building with tunables. This completes the transition of hwcap_mask reading from _dl_hwcap_mask to tunables. * elf/dl-hwcaps.h: New file. * elf/dl-hwcaps.c: Include it. (_dl_important_hwcaps)[HAVE_TUNABLES]: Read and update glibc.tune.hwcap_mask. * elf/dl-cache.c: Include dl-hwcaps.h. (_dl_load_cache_lookup)[HAVE_TUNABLES]: Read glibc.tune.hwcap_mask. * sysdeps/sparc/sparc32/dl-machine.h: Likewise. * elf/dl-support.c (_dl_hwcap2)[HAVE_TUNABLES]: Drop _dl_hwcap_mask. * elf/rtld.c (rtld_global_ro)[HAVE_TUNABLES]: Drop _dl_hwcap_mask. (process_envvars)[HAVE_TUNABLES]: Likewise. * sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h (rtld_global_ro)[HAVE_TUNABLES]: Likewise. * sysdeps/x86/cpu-features.c (init_cpu_features): Don't initialize dl_hwcap_mask when tunables are enabled.
