Avoid accessing corrupted stack from __stack_chk_fail [BZ #21752]hjl/pr21752/master
__libc_argv[0] points to address on stack and __libc_secure_getenv accesses environment variables which are on stack. We should avoid accessing stack when stack is corrupted. This patch also renames function argument in __fortify_fail_abort from do_backtrace to need_backtrace to avoid confusion with do_backtrace from enum __libc_message_action. [BZ #21752] * debug/fortify_fail.c (__fortify_fail_abort): Don't pass down __libc_argv[0] if we aren't doing backtrace. Rename do_backtrace to need_backtrace. * sysdeps/posix/libc_fatal.c (__libc_message): Don't call __libc_secure_getenv if we aren't doing backtrace.
