[PATCH 1/2] Add vectorized getenv for glibc use


From: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

This adds a general "vectorized getenv" for glibc internal use.
The motivation is to allow subsystems to access environment variables
cheaply without having to rescan the environment completely.

The dynamic linker already walks the environment to look for its
LD_* variables. Extend this code to look for a number of
pre-registered GLIBC_* variables too. This can be done at basically
no additional cost. The only two variables currently pre-registered
are for the lock elision code.

For static builds which do not use the dynamic linker a similar
environment walking function is called at init time.

The variable values are saved in a global array that can be directly
accessed by libc and related libraries like libpthread.

2013-06-18  Andi Kleen  <ak@linux.intel.com>

	* elf/Makefile (dl-glibc-var.o): Add new file.
	* elf/Versions (_dl_glibc_var, __glibc_var_init): Export new symbols
	as GLIBC_PRIVATE.
	* elf/dl-environ.c (_dl_next_ld_env_entry): Look for GLIBC_ prefixes
	too. Return first character in new argument.
	* elf/dl-glibc-var.c (struct glibc_var): Define global array.
	(__record_glibc_var): New function to save glibc variables.
	(next_env_entry): Function to walk environment.
	(__glibc_var_init): Fallback function for static builds.
	* elf/rtld.c: Update comment.
	(process_envvars): Handle GLIBC_ variables and call __record_glibc_var.
	* include/glibc-var.h: New file.
	* sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h (_dl_next_ld_env_entry): Update prototype.
	* .gitignore: Add exception for glibc-var.h.
