linker: initially reserved memory as PROT_NONE

Browse Source 
When the dynamic linker loads a shared library into memory, it
initially allocates a chunk of memory. The memory is then carved
into smaller chunks for each LOAD region, and appropriate memory
protections applied.

Modify the initial memory allocation so that the pages are mapped
as PROT_NONE, rather than PROT_READ / PROT_EXEC. This ensures that
gaps between LOAD regions are not inadvertantly readable / executable.

(Long term, we should munmap() these gaps entirely)

*
* This function reserves a chunk of memory to be used for mapping in
* the shared library. We reserve the entire memory region here, and
* a prelinked shared library. We reserve the entire memory region here, and
* then the rest of the linker will relocate the individual loadable
* segments into the correct locations within this memory range.
*
* Args:
* si->base: The requested base of the allocation. If 0, a sane one will be
* chosen in the range LIBBASE <= base < LIBLAST.
* si->base: The requested base of the allocation.
* si->size: The size of the allocation.
*
* Returns:
