the entry point code supports being loaded by a loader which is not
fdpic-aware (in practice, either kernel with mmu or qemu without fdpic
support). this mostly just works, but signal handling will wrongly use
a function descriptor address as a code address if the personality is
not adjusted to fdpic.
ideally this code could be placed with sigaction so that it's not
needed except if/when a signal handler is installed. however,
personality is incorrectly maintained per-thread by the kernel, rather
than per-process, so it's necessary to correct the personality before
any threads are started. also, in order to skip the personality
syscall when an fdpic-aware loader is used, we need to be able to
detect how the program was loaded, and this information is only
readily available at the entry point.
