Mathieu Desnoyers 3b68df9781 rseq: slice ext: Ensure rseq feature size differs from original rseq size
Before rseq became extensible, its original size was 32 bytes even
though the active rseq area was only 20 bytes. This had the following
impact in terms of userspace ecosystem evolution:

* The GNU libc between 2.35 and 2.39 expose a __rseq_size symbol set
  to 32, even though the size of the active rseq area is really 20.
* The GNU libc 2.40 changes this __rseq_size to 20, thus making it
  express the active rseq area.
* Starting from glibc 2.41, __rseq_size corresponds to the
  AT_RSEQ_FEATURE_SIZE from getauxval(3).

This means that users of __rseq_size can always expect it to
correspond to the active rseq area, except for the value 32, for
which the active rseq area is 20 bytes.

Exposing a 32 bytes feature size would make life needlessly painful
for userspace. Therefore, add a reserved field at the end of the
rseq area to bump the feature size to 33 bytes. This reserved field
is expected to be replaced with whatever field will come next,
expecting that this field will be larger than 1 byte.

The effect of this change is to increase the size from 32 to 64 bytes
before we actually have fields using that memory.

Clarify the allocation size and alignment requirements in the struct
rseq uapi comment.

Change the value returned by getauxval(AT_RSEQ_ALIGN) to return the
value of the active rseq area size rounded up to next power of 2, which
guarantees that the rseq structure will always be aligned on the nearest
power of two large enough to contain it, even as it grows. Change the
alignment check in the rseq registration accordingly.

This will minimize the amount of ABI corner-cases we need to document
and require userspace to play games with. The rule stays simple when
__rseq_size != 32:

  #define rseq_field_available(field)	(__rseq_size >= offsetofend(struct rseq_abi, field))
