8211bc6325 linker: cleanup of undefined state handling, which is really dead code
Given that _elf_lookup (and thus, _do_lookup) cannot possibly return an
undefined symbol (due to the check for SHN_UNDEF in _elf_lookup), there's
no need for spurious checks for SHN_UNDEF on its return value.

Conflicts:

bb5c30a3ee bionic: Report linker relocation address to gdb
GDB needs the runtime linker's base address in order to
locate the latter's ".text" and ".plt" sections, for the
purpose of detecting solib trampolines.  It also can
potentially use this to calculate the relocated address
of rtld_db_dlactivity.

b52e4385c4 linker: improve loadable segment protection.
Use the functions in linker_phdr.c to load the PT_LOAD segments
in memory, and toggle their mapping's writable protection bit
as needed. In particular:

  - when loading a library, load the segments then unprotected
    them to allow relocations to work.

  - when relocating the linker of the executable, unprotect
    the segments loaded by the kernel to make relocations work
    too.

  - after all relocations are done, re-protect the segments,
    and apply GNU RELRO protection if needed.

  - just before calling the destructors, undo the GNU RELRO
    protection.

bea23e59f7 linker: rename load_offset to load_bias.
This patch changes the definition of the 'load_offset' field
in struct soinfo. The field is renamed because it is not the
basic load bias to add to every p_vaddr value read from the ELF
file to get the corresponding memory address.

This also slightly simplifies the relocation code.

+ Fix for proper load_bias computation for relocatable executables.

23363ed750 linker: avoid mapping the whole library before load.
This patch changes the load_library() function in the
dynamic linker to avoid reserving a huge read-only
address-space range just to read the ELF header and
program header (which are typically very small and easily
fit in the first page).

Instead, we use the functions in linker_phdr.c to only
load the data that we need in a temporary mmap-allocated
page of memory, which we release when the function exits.

This avoids issues when loading very large libraries, or
simply debug versions that only need to load a tiny percentage
of their overall file content in RAM.

c1bd559d5b linker: New sources to manage the ELF program header table.
This patch introduces two new source files containing a set of functions
to manage the program header table in an ELF binary, including the ability
to load PT_LOAD segments, and apply PT_GNU_RELRO protection.

Note: the files are not used currently, this will appear in a series
      of future patches that will gradually modify linker.c to use
      the phdr_table_xxx functions properly.

166b7dbd4a linker: reduce size by nearly 20KB
This patch adds a trivial implementation of snprintf() that calls
our internal vsnprintf().

Inspection of the generated machine code showed that the linker
contained a full implementation of stdio's vfprintf. It was pulled
in because the pthread implementation uses snprintf() somewhere.

ProTip: It's possible to see why specific objects files are included
in a final binary by adding the following to your Android.mk, then
looking at the content of /tmp/MAP.TXT:

  LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -Wl,-Map=/tmp/MAP.TXT

1608416811 linker: small code-cleanup
This patch adds to make the linker a little bit easier to understand
by making all functions that acts on a sofino object with a soinfo_
prefix.

This is to more easily distinguish functions that operate on global
state, and those that operate on individual libraries.

This should be purely stylistic, i.e. no feature/behaviour change.

f186a1819a Support non-zero p_vaddr in first PT_LOAD segment
Before changing mmap() permission to PROT_NONE in alloc_mem_region(),
such libraries once worked with a bug that uses mmap'ed region outside of
memory region allocated by alloc_mem_region().  This possibly incurs
SIGSEGV because it can overwrite memory region of previously loaded
library, but it sometimes worked, depending on loading order.

After PROT_NONE, this caused SIGSEGV earlier during calculation of
si->phdr in load_library(), but this was fixed by:

    75917c84d1  Use mmap to read an ...

Now the behaviour is the same as before applying PROT_NONE in
alloc_mem_region().

This CL fixed the original issue, supporting shared libraries that have
non-zero p_vaddr in first (= with lowest p_vaddr) PT_LOAD segment.

75917c84d1 Use mmap to read an initial ELF header of library
Also, fixes SIGSEV during calculation of si->phdr in load_library(),
which is caused by accessing PHDR area, which is not guaranteed to be
loaded.

Note that this usually does not happen because program header area is
covered by immediately following PT_LOAD entry.  But it does not hold
always.

077891b199 linker: Fix the computation of si->base
The computation of si->base assumed that the first entry in the
program header table is a PT_PHDR. This results in the dynamic
linker crashing with a SIGSEGV/MAPERR when trying to load some
of the NDK unit test programs, which happen to have an EXIDX
header first, followed byu a PHDR one.

This patch fixes the computation by parsing the program header
table, looking explicitely for the PHDR entry. This fixes the
load of the NDK unit test programs, and doesn't affect system
libraries.

1a78fbb5c8 Initialize TLS before any application code is run.
Since e19d702b8e, dlsym and friends use recursive mutexes that
require the current thread id, which is not available before the libc
constructor. This prevents us from using dlsym() in .preinit_array.

This change moves TLS initialization from libc constructor to the earliest
possible point - immediately after linker itself is relocated. As a result,
pthread_internal_t for the initial thread is available from the start.

As a bonus, values stored in TLS in .preinit_array are not lost when libc is
initialized.

3a7ea52f17 linker: enable -fvisibility=hidden
Compile the linker with -fvisibility=hidden. This reduces the number
of symbols that show up in the .dynsym section of the linker.
These symbols are never exported to other applications.

In particular, this fixes a problem with setting -DLINKER_DEBUG=1
introduced in 468319ce4f.
Because the symbols "debug_verbosity" and "format_log" have not been
resolved before the linker links itself, any attempt to call
PRINT / INFO / TRACE / WARN / ERROR will result in a segfault.
This change allows the static linker to produce a relative reference
to these symbols rather than relying on relocation.

This also has a nice side effect of making the linker slightly smaller
and slightly more optimized.

The following symbols no longer in the .dynsym section of the linker
after this change:

-addr_to_name
-call_constructors_recursi
-calloc
-debugger_init
-debugger_signal_handler
-debug_verbosity
-dladdr
-dlclose
-dlerror

6625986f3a linker: initially reserved memory as PROT_NONE
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)

e19d702b8e Redesign dlopen() locks to be recursive per thread.
That is to fix the bug:
dlxxx functions can't be called recursively.
For example, if we use dlopen() to use open one library whose constructor
also calls dlopen() in order to open another library, then the thread is
dead-blocked.

By changing the dl_lock from a non-recursive lock to a recursive lock, we can
prevent the thread from dead-blocked by recursive dlxxx calls in the same
thread context.

861b42a2d8 Use the AT_SECURE auxv flag to determine whether to enable secure mode.
The Linux kernel provides an AT_SECURE auxv flag to inform userspace
whether or not a security transition has occurred.  This is more reliable
than directly checking the uid/gid against the euid/egid, because it covers
not only setuid/setgid but also file capabilities, SELinux, and AppArmor
security transitions.  It is also a more efficient test since it does
not require any additional system calls.

System V ABI:

"These [pre-initialization] functions are executed after the dynamic linker has
built the process image and performed relocations but before any shared object
initialization functions."

8180b08fb2 linker: Fix the computation of si->base
The computation of si->base assumed that the first entry in the
program header table is a PT_PHDR. This results in the dynamic
linker crashing with a SIGSEGV/MAPERR when trying to load some
of the NDK unit test programs, which happen to have an EXIDX
header first, followed byu a PHDR one.

This patch fixes the computation by parsing the program header
table, looking explicitely for the PHDR entry. This fixes the
load of the NDK unit test programs, and doesn't affect system
libraries.

ec92af8fe5 Log signal info at time of receipt
When a fatal signal is received, we now write a message to the log
that looks like this:

  F/libc    ( 1540): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0xdeadd00d (code=1)

This is useful for debugging fatal signals that turn out not to be
fatal.  This also changes the signal reset from SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL,
so that future non-fatal fatal signals are fatal.

The code that blocked SIGUSR1 to avoid being interrupted by the GC
has been removed.

Also, fix minor issues in format_buffer().

7059b1f02e linker: get rid of the buddy allocator
Currently, the Android linker is placing shared libraries into
a well-known spot in memory.  This is interfering with the kernel's
ASLR support.

This change stops forcing non-prelinked libraries into a particular
address space.

Also, get rid of FLAG_PRELINKED.  As best I can tell, this flag
is never used.

8d0c0334f1 bionic/linker: fix symbol lookup during relocations
When resolving relocations while loading a library, the linker used to find
symbols by looking them up in the list of all linked libraries for the current
process, as opposed to following just the library's DT_NEEDED entries.  This
can cause a problem where the symbol is picked up from the wrong library.

5cf640c926 Fill l_ld of linkmaps with value from soinfo::dynamic.
GDB will try to read l_ld of linkmaps and compare the value to vma of
.dynamic sections from shared objects.  Since linker does not assign l_ld,
GDB will complain about and re-compute l_addr from l_ld.  And, GDB will get a
wrong value.

fde8642fc4 bionic/linker: keep track of opened libraries by basename
Prior to this change, the dynamic loader kept track of opened libraries
either by their base name (i.e., libfoo.so instead of /system/lib/libfoo.so)
when the shared library was loaded through the DT_NEEDED tag in an ELF header,
or by whatever name was passed to dlopen(). This created a number of problems,
among which:

1. dlopen("libfoo.so") and dlopen("/path/to/libfoo.so") would open the same
library twice;
2. dlopen("/path/to/libfoo.so") and then dlopen("libbar.so"), where libbar.so
depends on libfoo.so, would open libfoo.so twice.

This patch makes the dynamic loader keep track of each loaded library by
basename, which resolves the above ambiguity. The patch also enforces
library lookup by base name, which means that it will refuse to load another
library that has the same name.

Thanks for the inspiration Iliyan.

ef0bd18570 Pass the elfdata pointer in a slot of the temporary TLS area.
This is needed to properly initialize the C runtime when libc.so
is loaded by the dynamic linker.

Move the temporary TLS setup before the first system call, just
in case something really horrible happens, we won't crash when
trying to write an error code in 'errno'

Remove the broken TLS_SLOT_THREAD_ID setup. First, this slot
should normally receive the address of a pthread_internal_t,
not a kernel thread identifier. Second, it is never used by
the linker anyway.

Also remove an obsolete comment.

2e85579c34 linker: Make the errors reported by dlopen/dlsym be more useful.
Changed it so that when the linker generates error messages, they are
scribbled away into a buffer that dlfcn and friends can read from.

Since the error messages are generetad with snprintf, and snprintf
MAY call malloc during some code paths, we now link against a version
of libc that does not contain malloc/free/realloc/calloc. We then define
malloc and friends in the dynamic loader, and make them abort() if they
are ever called.
