FEDORA-2015-7174c4d68d created by fweimer 8 years ago for Fedora 23

This update re-adds large file support to the openat function, removes support for the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable (which could be used to weaken security protections in AT_SECURE/SUID binaries), and adds function pointer obfuscation to the TLS destructor list.

Basic postgresql-server and mariadb-server usage still works. Login via OpenSSH works as well. Disassembly of libc.so.6 shows the presence of the tls_dtor_list change. Test case from #1288662 now passes.
