Always enable pointer guard [BZ #18928]
Honoring the LD_POINTER_GUARD environment variable in AT_SECURE mode has security implications. This commit enables pointer guard unconditionally, and the environment variable is now ignored. [BZ #18928] * sysdeps/generic/ldsodefs.h (struct rtld_global_ro): Remove _dl_pointer_guard member. * elf/rtld.c (_rtld_global_ro): Remove _dl_pointer_guard initializer. (security_init): Always set up pointer guard. (process_envvars): Do not process LD_POINTER_GUARD. (cherry picked from commit a014cecd) (cherry picked from commit dc22a1ec)
