The changes in commit a93d9e03a3
("Extend struct r_debug to support multiple namespaces [BZ #15971]")
break the dyninst dynamic instrumentation tool. It brings its
own definition of _r_debug (rather than a declaration).
Furthermore, it turns out it is rather hard to use the proposed
handshake for accessing _r_debug via DT_DEBUG. If applications want
to access _r_debug, they can do so directly if the relevant code has
been built as PIC. To protect against harm from accidental copy
relocations due to linker relaxations, this commit restores copy
relocation support by adjusting both copies if interposition or
copy relocations are in play. Therefore, it is possible to
use a hidden reference in ld.so to access _r_debug.
Only perform the copy relocation initialization if libc has been
loaded. Otherwise, the ld.so search scope can be empty, and the
lookup of the _r_debug symbol mail fail.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Glibc does not provide an interface for debugger to access libraries
loaded in multiple namespaces via dlmopen.
The current rtld-debugger interface is described in the file:
elf/rtld-debugger-interface.txt
under the "Standard debugger interface" heading. This interface only
provides access to the first link-map (LM_ID_BASE).
1. Bump r_version to 2 when multiple namespaces are used. This triggers
the GDB bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28236
2. Add struct r_debug_extended to extend struct r_debug into a linked-list,
where each element correlates to an unique namespace.
3. Initialize the r_debug_extended structure. Bump r_version to 2 for
the new namespace and add the new namespace to the namespace linked list.
4. Add _dl_debug_update to return the address of struct r_debug' of a
namespace.
5. Add a hidden symbol, _r_debug_extended, for struct r_debug_extended.
6. Provide the symbol, _r_debug, with size of struct r_debug, as an alias
of _r_debug_extended, for programs which reference _r_debug.
This fixes BZ #15971.
