It's a bad idea to have a global event loop in a client application as
that will cause an initialization-order fiasco in ASAN. Therefore, LibC
now has a flag "s_global_initializers_ran" which is false until _entry
in crt0 runs, which in turn only gets called after all the global
initializers were actually executed. The EventLoop constructor checks
the flag and crashes the program if it is being called as a global
constructor. A note next to the VERIFY_NOT_REACHED() informs the
developer of these things and how we usually instantiate event loops.
The upshot of this is that global event loops will cause a crash before
any undefined behavior is hit.
Previously, getauxval() got the address of the auxiliary vector by
traversing to the end of the `environ` pointer.
The assumption that the auxiliary vector comes after the environment
array is true at program startup, however the environment array may
be re-allocated and change its address during runtime which would cause
getauxval() to work with an incorrect auxiliary vector address.
To fix this, we now get the address of the auxiliary vector once in
__libc_init and store it in a libc-internal pointer which is then used
by getauxval().
Fixes#10087.
