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.

The xattr system calls are required for the SE Android userspace in
order to get and set file security contexts. In particular, libselinux
requires these calls.

There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana)
has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than
the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
(Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after
all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated
in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the
end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the
earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22.
Apart from that, Moldova (MD) returns to a single entry in zone.tab
(and the incorrect syntax that was in the 2011m version of that file
is so fixed - it would have been fixed in a different way had this
change not happened - that's the "missing" sccs version id).

linux-unistd.h was here for reference purposes, but shouldn't
have been accessible to client code. Delete it.

When looping over the current list of sockets we are connected to,
use getpeername() not getsockname() to find out who the remote
end is. This change avoids spurious close() and (rare) failure.

The function bcopy() is marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001 and removed in
POSIX.1-2008. memcpy (POSIX.1-2001) is its recommended replacement.

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>

TCP isn't supported on some dns servers, which makes the old code
hang forever.
NOT adding a stopship to remove debugging stuff - it was too painful
(14s timeout on failed tcp dns lookups) so we decided not to bother people.

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."

Issue:
The kernel will pad the entry->d_reclen in a getdents64 call to a
long-word boundary. For very long records, this could exceed the
size of a struct dirent. The mismatch in the size was causing error
paranoid checking code in bionic to fail... thus causing an early
"end" when reading the dirent structures from the kernel buffer.
Test:
ls
mkdir abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstu
ls

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).

This patch uses the new hardware feature macros for x86 to define
various compile-time macros used to make the C library use
SSE2 and/or SSSE3 optimized memory functions for target CPUs
that support these features.
Note that previously, we relied on the macros being defined by
build/core/combo/TARGET_linux-x86.mk, but this is no longer the
case.
