  Current implementation of tunables does not set arena_max and arena_test
values. Any value provided by glibc.malloc.arena_max and
glibc.malloc.arena_test parameters is ignored.

These tunables have minval value set to 1 (see elf/dl-tunables.list file)
and undefined maxval value. In that case default value (which is 0. see
scripts/gen-tunables.awk) is being used to set maxval.

For instance, generated tunable_list[] entry for arena_max is:
(gdb) p *cur
$1 = {name = 0x7ffff7df6217 "glibc.malloc.arena_max",
 type = {type_code = TUNABLE_TYPE_SIZE_T, min = 1, max = 0},
  val = {numval = 0, strval = 0x0}, initialized = false,
   security_level = TUNABLE_SECLEVEL_SXID_IGNORE,
    env_alias = 0x7ffff7df622e "MALLOC_ARENA_MAX"}

As a result, any value of glibc.malloc.arena_max is ignored by
TUNABLE_SET_VAL_IF_VALID_RANGE macro
  __type min = (__cur)->type.min;                    <- initialized to 1
  __type max = (__cur)->type.max;                    <- initialized to 0!
  if (min == max)                                    <- false
    {
      min = __default_min;
      max = __default_max;
    }
  if ((__type) (__val) >= min && (__type) (val) <= max)  <- false
    {
      (__cur)->val.numval = val;
      (__cur)->initialized = true;
    }

Assigning correct min/max values at a build time fixes a problem.
Plus, a bit of optimization: Setting of default min/max values for the
given type at a run time might be eliminated.

        * elf/dl-tunables.c (do_tunable_update_val): Range checking fix.
        * scripts/gen-tunables.awk: Set unspecified minval and/or maxval
	values to correct default value for given type.

Thanks for the patch.  Can you please clarify the status of your
copyright assignment (and Carlos verify it please)?  I don't have access
to the copyright assignment list, so once that question is cleared, I'll
test and merge this patch.

Both Alexey and VMWare for Alexey have assignments in place.

We can accept any patches from Alexey.

Cheers,
Carlos.
