The BZ 32653 fix (12a497c716) kept the
stack pointer zeroing from make_main_stack_executable on
_dl_make_stack_executable. However, previously the 'stack_endp'
pointed to temporary variable created before the call of
_dl_map_object_from_fd; while now we use the __libc_stack_end
directly.
Since pthread_getattr_np relies on correct __libc_stack_end, if
_dl_make_stack_executable is called (for instance, when
glibc.rtld.execstack=2 is set) __libc_stack_end will be set to zero,
and the call will always fail.
The __libc_stack_end zero was used a mitigation hardening, but since
52a01100ad it is used solely on
pthread_getattr_np code. So there is no point in zeroing anymore.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
