Binaries can opt-in to using BTI via an ELF object file marking.
The dynamic linker has to then mprotect the executable segments
with PROT_BTI. In case of static linked executables or in case
of the dynamic linker itself, PROT_BTI protection is done by the
operating system.

On AArch64 glibc uses PT_GNU_PROPERTY instead of PT_NOTE to check
the properties of a binary because PT_NOTE can be unreliable with
old linkers (old linkers just append the notes of input objects
together and add them to the output without checking them for
consistency which means multiple incompatible GNU property notes
can be present in PT_NOTE). A new _dl_process_pt_gnu_property
hook is introduced in dl-prop.h and to keep it maintainable the
rtld and dlopen code paths use the same function (if the main
map needs special treatment, that should be inferred by the hook
from the link map). Unlike the _dt_process_pt_note hook this one
is called after segments are mapped to avoid unbounded allocation
and additional read syscall. Otherwise the AArch64 logic follows
the x86 logic for handling GNU properties (but the code is not
shared because x86 needs to manage internal CET state and look
out for multiple property notes).

BTI property is handled in the loader even if glibc is not built
with BTI support, so in theory user code can be BTI protected
independently of glibc. In practice though user binaries are not
marked with the BTI property if glibc has no support because the
static linked libc objects (crt files, libc_nonshared.a) are
unmarked.

This patch relies on Linux userspace API that is scheduled to be
merged in Linux 5.8 and now it is in the for-next/bti-user branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git.

Can you make _dl_process_pt_gnu_property more generic so that it
can be shared with x86?  If there is PT_GNU_PROPERTY, we don't
need to check for multiple property notes.  Thanks.

it can use a hook for NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0 notes
that is called for each property, e.g.

int
_dl_process_gnu_property_note0(uint32_t type, uint32_t datasz, const void *data);

and then a target only needs to override that. i
assume the rest of the PT_GNU_PROPERTY handling
can be generic. (the int return value can control
if processing should stop or continue)

however this only helps on x86 if PT_GNU_PROPERTY
processing is before PT_NOTE processing otherwise
you cannot skip handling the notes.

i moved the _dl_process_pt_gnu_property into a
second pass in dl-load.c so load segments are
mapped by then, the note processing is currently
before that (but even if that's moved into the
second pass, PT_NOTE i think will appear before
PT_GNU_PROPERTY in the program headers), so it's
not clear if refactoring helps: you would need
separate target hooks for first and second passes
over pt headers i think.

Only the PT_NOTE segment with the correct alignment may contain property.
In the first pass, we record such PT_NOTE segment, but don't process it.
After all segments have been processed, we process the saved PT_NOTE segment
if there is no GNU_PROPERTY segment.
