Since linker is built with -fvisibility=hidden rtld_db_dlactivity()
if hidden from gdb. Unhide it otherwise gdb may not know linker
activity and rescan solib

Prefix private functions with underscores, to prevent name
conflicts.
Use __error__ instead of error, since occasionally programs will
create their own "#define error ...".

Add a FORTIFY_SOURCE check which requires that you pass a
"mode" argument when calling open(..., O_CREAT). If a mode isn't
passed, then the file is created with "undefined" permissions.

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.

This moves the code that determines where the .dynamic and .ARM.exidx
sections are to a single place in soinfo_link_image().

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.

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.

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.

Update headers for MSM MDP, MSM KGSL and MSM

With -fstack-protector, x86 -m32 needs __stack_chk_fail_local
defined in crtbegin_*.o.
Include __stack_chk_fail_local.S in begin.S otherwise linker
(which is built w/o crt*) may not link.

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

Add strlcpy / strlcat support to FORTIFY_SOURCE. This allows
us to do consistency checks on to ensure we don't overflow buffers
when the compiler is able to tell us the size of the buffer we're
dealing with.
Unlike previous changes, this change DOES NOT use the compiler's
builtin support. Instead, we do everything the compiler would
normally do.

According to
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html
realloc should NOT be marked with __attribute__((malloc)). Quoting:
realloc-like functions do not have this property as the memory
pointed to does not have undefined content.
For reference, __mallocfunc is defined in sys/cdefs.h as:
#define __mallocfunc __attribute__((malloc))
