Sunyeop Lee 65eff7fbdb Update old tunables framework document/script.
Since commit 8b9e9c3c0b, security_level replaces
is_secure. There were some old files need to be updated.

	* README.tunables: Updated descriptions.
	* elf/dl-tunables.list: Fixed typo: SXID_NONE -> NONE.

Siddhesh Poyarekar 8b9e9c3c0b tunables: Fix environment variable processing for setuid binaries (bz #21073)
Florian Weimer pointed out that we have three different kinds of
environment variables (and hence tunables):

1. Variables that are removed for setxid processes
2. Variables that are ignored in setxid processes but is passed on to
   child processes
3. Variables that are passed on to child processes all the time

Tunables currently only does (2) and (3) when it should be doing (1)
for MALLOC_CHECK_.  This patch enhances the is_secure flag in tunables
to an enum value that can specify which of the above three categories
the tunable (and its envvar alias) belongs to.

The default is for tunables to be in (1).  Hence, all of the malloc
tunables barring MALLOC_CHECK_ are explicitly specified to belong to
category (2).  There were discussions around abolishing category (2)
completely but we can do that as a separate exercise in 2.26.

Tested on x86_64 to verify that there are no regressions.

Siddhesh Poyarekar d054a81ab3 tunables: Avoid getenv calls and disable glibc.malloc.check by default
Builds with --enable-tunables failed on i686 because a call to getenv
got snuck into tunables, which pulled in strncmp.  This patch fixes
this build failure by making the glibc.malloc.check check even
simpler.  The previous approach was convoluted where the tunable was
disabled using an unsetenv and overwriting the tunable value with
colons.  The easier way is to simply mark the tunable as insecure by
default (i.e. won't be read for AT_SECURE programs) and then enabled
only when the /etc/suid-debug file is found.

This also ends up removing a bunch of functions that were specially
reimplemented (strlen, unsetenv) to avoid calling into string
routines.

Tested on x86_64 and i686.

	* elf/dl-tunables.c (tunables_unsetenv): Remove function.
	(min_strlen): Likewise.
	(disable_tunable): Likewise.
	(maybe_disable_malloc_check): Rename to
	maybe_enable_malloc_check.
	(maybe_enable_malloc_check): Enable glibc.malloc.check tunable
	if /etc/suid-debug file exists.
	(__tunables_init): Update caller.
	* elf/dl-tunables.list (glibc.malloc.check): Don't mark as
	secure.

Siddhesh Poyarekar 67e58f3941 Add framework for tunables
The tunables framework allows us to uniformly manage and expose global
variables inside glibc as switches to users.  tunables/README has
instructions for glibc developers to add new tunables.

Tunables support can be enabled by passing the --enable-tunables
configure flag to the configure script.  This patch only adds a
framework and does not pose any limitations on how tunable values are
read from the user.  It also adds environment variables used in malloc
behaviour tweaking to the tunables framework as a PoC of the
compatibility interface.
