9ec0f03a0d Add relro support
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.

70b1668a76 remove obsolete SuperH support
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

468319ce4f Make the linker relocatable.
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.

7939908c83 linker: set LOCAL_NO_CRT := true
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.

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.

be5755969d linker: Remove unsecure env. variable for setuid programs.
This removes several unsecure environment variables from the
environment block when the program being loaded is setuid. The
list of env. variables is the same than what GLibc uses at this
point.

5c734644ee Fix debug output in the dynamic linker.
This provides a mini-printf implementation that reduces the
size of the dynamic linker by 25 KB, by preventing the drag of
formatting-related routines from the C library.

Also allow traces to be sent to the log, instead of stdout.

NOTE: You now need to modify Android.mk to enable/disable debug
      output.

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.
