Safe-Linking alignment checks should be done on the user's buffer and not
the mchunkptr. The new check adds support for cases in which:
MALLOC_ALIGNMENT != 2*(sizeof(size_t))
The default case for both 32 bits and 64 bits was already supported, and
this patch adds support for the described irregular case.

Safe-Linking is a security mechanism that protects single-linked
lists (such as the fastbins) from being tampered by attackers. The
mechanism makes use of randomness from ASLR (mmap_base), and when
combined with chunk alignment integrity checks, it protects the
pointers from being hijacked by an attacker.
While Safe-Unlinking protects double-linked lists (such as the small
bins), there wasn't any similar protection for attacks against
single-linked lists. This solution protects against 3 common attacks:
* Partial pointer override: modifies the lower bytes (Little Endian)
* Full pointer override: hijacks the pointer to an attacker's location
* Unaligned chunks: pointing the list to an unaligned address
The design assumes an attacker doesn't know where the heap is located,
and uses the ASLR randomness to "sign" the single-linked pointers. We
mark the pointer as P and the location in which it is stored as L, and
the calculation will be:
* PROTECT(P) := (L >> PAGE_SHIFT) XOR (P)
* *L = PROTECT(P)
This way, the random bits from the address L (which start at the bits
in the PAGE_SHIFT position), will be merged with the LSB of the stored
protected pointer. This protection layer prevents an attacker from
modifying the pointer into a controlled value.
An additional check that the chunks are MALLOC_ALIGNed adds an
important layer:
* Attackers can't point to illegal (unaligned) memory addresses
* Attackers must guess correctly the alignment bits
On standard 32 bit Linux machines, an attacker will directly fail 7
out of 8 times, and on 64 bit machines it will fail 15 out of 16
times.
The proposed solution adds 3-4 asm instructions per malloc()/free()
and therefore has only minor performance implications if it has
any. A similar protection was added to Chromium's version of TCMalloc
in 2013, and according to their documentation the performance overhead
was less than 2%.

sysconf creates a lot of code dependencies.
getpagesize dosen't.
staticly linked code that calls malloc is now much smaller.

This option is enabled for a long time and I see no
useful case where we should be incompatible to glibc here.

Linuxthreads.new isn't really useful with the existence
of NPTL/TLS for well supported architectures. There is no
reason to use LT.new for ARM/MIPS or other architectures
supporting NPTL/TLS. It is not available for noMMU architectures
like Blackfin or FR-V. To simplify the live of the few uClibc-ng
developers, LT.new is removed and LT.old is renamed to LT.

For some rarely cases(almost App bugs), calling malloc with
a very largre size, checked_request2size check will fail,set
ENOMEM, and return 0 to caller.
But this will let __malloc_lock futex locked and owned by the
caller. In multithread circumstance, other thread calling
malloc/calloc will NOT succeed and get locked.

Now that the kernel supports MAP_UNINITIALIZE, have the malloc places use
it to get real uninitialized memory on no-mmu systems. This avoids a lot
of normally useless overhead involved in zeroing out all of the memory
(sometimes multiple times).

internal lock get canceled and terminates without releasing the lock. This
change also provides a single place, bits/uClibc_mutex.h, for thread libraries
