[PATCH] nptl: Implement pthread_self in libc.so


All binaries use TLS and thus need a properly set up TCB, so we can
simply return its address directly, instead of forwarding to the
libpthread implementation from libc.

For versioned symbols, the dynamic linker checks that the soname matches
the name supplied by the link editor, so a compatibility symbol in
libpthread is needed.

The layout of struct pthread_functions is not changed by this commit,
although the pointer used to store the address of pthread_self is now
unused.

To avoid linking against the libpthread function in all cases, we would
have to bump the symbol version of libpthread in libc.so and supply a
compat symbol.  This commit does not do that because the function
implementation is so small, so the overhead by two active copies of the
same function might well be smaller than the increase in symbol table
size.

2017-12-14  Florian Weimer  <fweimer@redhat.com>

	nptl: Provide full implementation of pthread_self in libc.so.
	* nptl/Makefile (routines): Add pthread_self.
	(libpthread-routines): Replace pthread_self with
	compat-pthread_self.
	* nptl/forward.c (pthread_self): Remove.
	* nptl/nptl-init.c (pthread_functions): Do not initialize
	ptr_pthread_self.
	* nptl/pthread_self.c (pthread_self): Remove weak alias.
	* nptl/compat-pthread_self.c: New file.
	* sysdeps/nptl/pthread-functions.h (struct pthread_functions):
	Rename ptr_pthread_self to unused_pthread_self.
