[PATCH v2] elf/rtld: Count skipped environment variables for enable_secure

[PATCH v2] elf/rtld: Count skipped environment variables for enable_secure

[Joe Simmons-Talbott]

When using the glibc.rtld.enable_secure tunable we need to keep track of
the count of environment variables we skip due to __libc_enable_secure
being set and adjust the auxv section of the stack.  This fixes an
assertion when running ld.so directly with glibc.rtld.enable_secure set.

elf/rtld.c:1324   assert (auxv == sp + 1);
---
Changes to v1:
* Add comment explaining how and why skip_env is adjusted.

Can you please add a test?

Re: [PATCH v2] elf/rtld: Count skipped environment variables for enable_secure

[Joe Simmons-Talbott]

Thanks for your review.  I added a testcase to the v3[1] patch that
triggers the assert without the patch and does not trigger the assert
with the patch.  I'm not certain it's a useful test though since it's
essentially testing that the assertion isn't triggered.

Thanks,
Joe
