cdefs.h: Introduce the __purefunc attribute, which allows us to mark
certain functions as being "pure".
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html
Many functions have no effects except the return value and their
return value depends only on the parameters and/or global variables.
Such a function can be subject to common subexpression elimination
and loop optimization just as an arithmetic operator would be.
string.h: Mark many commently used string functions as "pure", to
allow for additional compiler optimizations.

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.

This patch defines a few new macros that can be used to control the
visibility of symbols exported by the C library:
- ENTRY_PRIVATE() can be used in assembly sources to indicate
that an assembler function should have "hidden" visibility, i.e.
will never be exported by the C library's shared library.
This is the equivalent of using __LIBC_HIDDEN__ for a C function,
but ENTRY_PRIVATE() works like ENTRY(), and must be used with
END() to tag the end of the function.
- __LIBC_ABI_PUBLIC__ can be used to tag a C functions as being
part of the C library's public ABI. This is important for a
few functions that must be exposed by the NDK to maintain
binary compatibility.
Once a symbol has been tagged with this macro, it shall
*never* be removed from the library, even if it becomes
directly unused due to implementation changes
(e.g. __is_threaded).
- __LIBC_ABI_PRIVATE__ can be used for C functions that should
always be exported by the C library because they are used by
other libraries in the platform, but should not be exposed
by the NDK. It is possible to remove such symbols from the
implementation if all callers are also modified.
+ Add missing END() assembly macro for x86

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

This patch is used to remove private C library declarations from the
public headers (that are exported to the NDK). It should *only* be
submitted after all other patches modifying the users of said
private functions have been submitted to the tree, to avoid
breakages.

This patch is the first in a series that aims at cleaning up the
public C library headers (which end up being distributed with the NDK).
<resolv.h> and <time.h> contain declarations that should not be public.
They are used by other parts of the platform, but NDK applications should
not use or rely on them.
So copy them to private <bionic_time.h> and <resolv_iface.h> headers
and use a guard macro to avoid conflicts when both headers are included
at the same time.
The idea is that we're going to fix the other platform modules to
include these private headers. After this is done, we will remove the
duplicate definitions from <resolv.h> and <time.h>

The posix_memalign(3) function is very similar to the traditional
memalign(3) function, but with better error reporting and a guarantee
that the memory it allocates can be freed. In bionic, memalign(3)
allocated memory can be freed, so posix_memalign(3) is just a wrapper
around memalign(3).

Use tgkill instead of tkill to implement pthread_kill.
This is safer in the event that the thread has already terminated
and its id has been reused by a different process.

__atomic_cmpxchg and other related atomic operations did not
provide memory barriers, which can be a problem for non-platform
code that links against them when it runs on multi-core devices.
This patch does two things to fix this:
- It modifies the existing implementation of the functions
that are exported by the C library to always provide
full memory barriers. We need to keep them exported by
the C library to prevent breaking existing application
machine code.
- It also modifies <sys/atomics.h> to only export
always-inlined versions of the functions, to ensure that
any application code compiled against the new header will
not rely on the platform version of the functions.
This ensure that said machine code will run properly on
all multi-core devices.
This is based on the GCC built-in sync primitives.
The end result should be only slightly slower than the
previous implementation.
Note that the platform code does not use these functions
at all. A previous patch completely removed their usage in
the pthread and libstdc++ code.
+ rename arch-arm/bionic/atomics_arm.S to futex_arm.S
+ rename arch-x86/bionic/atomics_x86.S to futex_x86.S
+ remove arch-x86/include/sys/atomics.h which already
provided inlined functions to the x86 platform.

For Honeycomb, we added proper file thread-safety for
all FILE* operations. However, we did implement that by
using an out-of-band hash table to map FILE* pointers
to phtread_mutex_t mutexes, because we couldn't change
the size of 'struct _sFILE' without breaking the ABI.
It turns out that our BSD-derived code already has
some support code to extend FILE* objects, so use it
instead. See libc/stdio/fileext.h
This patch gets rid of the hash table, and put the
mutex directly into the sFILE extension.
