  On some tests with glibc.malloc.hugetlb=2, there are some allocation
patterns that are not backed up by large pages (different than
libhugetlfs morecore implementation).

Adhemerval Zanella (2):
  elf: Add a way to check if tunable is set (BZ 27069)
  malloc: Improve MAP_HUGETLB with glibc.malloc.hugetlb=2

Thanks, Adhemerval

Tested on aarch64, based on glibc master branch.
With these two patches, our application using 2M pages does not
trigger page faults now,
and many page faults before.
