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
-dl_lock
-dlopen
-dlsym
-dl_unwind_find_exidx
-find_containing_library
-find_containing_symbol
-find_library
-format_buffer
-free
-libdl_info
-linker_env_get
-linker_env_init
-linker_env_secure
-linker_env_unset
-linker_get_error
-__linker_init
-lookup
-lookup_in_library
-malloc
-notify_gdb_of_libraries
-notify_gdb_of_load
-notify_gdb_of_unload
-realloc
-rtld_db_dlactivity

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)

If we catch a fatal signal that won't automatically re-throw when
the thread resumes, re-throw it manually. (Common examples are
SIGPIPE and the SIGFPE from integer division by zero.)

This adds the thread id and name to the "Fatal signal" logging,

Add support for PT_GNU_RELRO. This allows the static linker to
indicate that certain regions of memory should be marked as
"read-only" after dynamic linking is complete.
See:
* http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/nonselsec.pdf (section 6)
* http://tk-blog.blogspot.com/2009/02/relro-not-so-well-known-memory.html
Note that this change has no effect on Android right now, because
we don't compile our code with relro enabled.

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.

We don't have a toolchain anymore, we don't have working original
kernel headers, and nobody is maintaining this so there is really
no point in keeping this here. Details of the patch:
- removed code paths from Android.mk files related to the SuperH
architecture ("sh")
- removed libc/arch-sh, linker/arch-sh, libc/kernel/arch-sh
- simplified libc/SYSCALLS.TXT
- simplified the scripts in libc/tools/ and libc/kernel/tools

The flag to avoid calling ELF constructors recursively (in the case
of recursive .so dependencies) was being set after the dangerous
recursive constructor call had already been made.
This fixes the libc's debug malloc implementation.

Write a message to the log file if the signal handler is not able
to connect to debuggerd. This is especially handy if the failure
was caused by running out of file descriptors, since there's some
chance that the lack of fds relates to the crash.
Sample:
F libc : Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV) at 0xdeadbaad (code=1)
F libc : Unable to open connection to debuggerd: Too many open files

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.

This change makes linker handling of .preinit_array compliant with the
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."

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.

Previously, the linker always loaded itself into the same
location in memory, which inhibited the effectiveness of Android's
ASLR implementation. Modify the linker code so it can be relocatable
and link itself at runtime.

Use LOCAL_NO_CRT to prevent linking against crtbegin.o, rather than
messing with build rules. This also prevents linking against crtend.o,
which isn't needed for the linker.

libraries and executables. It does so by ensuring that the
corresponding binary is visible to gdb before running the
constructors.

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().

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.
