Mathieu Desnoyers 20e2f01085 selftests/rseq: Uplift rseq selftests for compatibility with glibc-2.35
commit 233e667e1ae3e348686bd9dd0172e62a09d852e1 upstream.

glibc-2.35 (upcoming release date 2022-02-01) exposes the rseq per-thread
data in the TCB, accessible at an offset from the thread pointer, rather
than through an actual Thread-Local Storage (TLS) variable, as the
Linux kernel selftests initially expected.

The __rseq_abi TLS and glibc-2.35's ABI for per-thread data cannot
actively coexist in a process, because the kernel supports only a single
rseq registration per thread.

Here is the scheme introduced to ensure selftests can work both with an
older glibc and with glibc-2.35+:

- librseq exposes its own "rseq_offset, rseq_size, rseq_flags" ABI.

- librseq queries for glibc rseq ABI (__rseq_offset, __rseq_size,
  __rseq_flags) using dlsym() in a librseq library constructor. If those
  are found, copy their values into rseq_offset, rseq_size, and
  rseq_flags.

- Else, if those glibc symbols are not found, handle rseq registration
  from librseq and use its own IE-model TLS to implement the rseq ABI
  per-thread storage.
