Subject: [PATCH] Port to glibc 2.24 (pre-release) + ppc64
Backport from master.
Inspired by a suggestion by Florian Weimer in:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2016-07/msg00425.html
* configure.ac (HAVE_PERSONALITY_ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE):
Rename from HAVE_PERSONALITY_LINUX32, and check for
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE (the crucial thing) instead of for LINUX32.
All uses changed.
* src/emacs.c (main) [HAVE_PERSONALITY_ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE]:
Use ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE from personality.h rather than inventing the
flag ourselves. Just set that flag, rather than also setting the
persona. Do all this earlier, so as to avoid problems with calls
to brk in the interim. When doing it, avoid functions like
putenv that may allocate memory. Special case for __PPC64__,
which needs ASLR disabled in dumped Emacs too.
