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.

Add a dummy variable back into place to preserve structure.

This patch allows the debugging of constructors in shared
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.

The linker_env_get() method that is used to match an environment
variable was failing due to an incorrect equality check.
This was introduced in git change
be5755969d.
The bug was causing the linker to ignore environment variables such
as LD_LIBRARY_PATH. This issue also affects the linker_env_secure()
path that removes unsafe environment variables, since it would
not match any in the unsecure variable list.

The previous implementation of this flag was broken--it behaved identically
to RTLD_DEFAULT. This adds a proper implementation, which examines the address
of the calling function, and uses it to determine which library to use to begin
the symbol search process.

dladdr() is a GNU extension function, which allows the caller to retrieve

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.

Allow the dynamic linker to relocate references to thumb symbols in NDK libraries.
When resolving relocations while loading a library, the linker used to find
symbols by looking them up in the list of all linked libraries for the current
process, as opposed to following just the library's DT_NEEDED entries. This
can cause a problem where the symbol is picked up from the wrong library.

GDB will try to read l_ld of linkmaps and compare the value to vma of
.dynamic sections from shared objects. Since linker does not assign l_ld,
GDB will complain about and re-compute l_addr from l_ld. And, GDB will get a
wrong value.
Prior to this change, the dynamic loader kept track of opened libraries
either by their base name (i.e., libfoo.so instead of /system/lib/libfoo.so)
when the shared library was loaded through the DT_NEEDED tag in an ELF header,
or by whatever name was passed to dlopen(). This created a number of problems,
among which:
1. dlopen("libfoo.so") and dlopen("/path/to/libfoo.so") would open the same
library twice;
2. dlopen("/path/to/libfoo.so") and then dlopen("libbar.so"), where libbar.so
depends on libfoo.so, would open libfoo.so twice.
This patch makes the dynamic loader keep track of each loaded library by
basename, which resolves the above ambiguity. The patch also enforces
library lookup by base name, which means that it will refuse to load another
library that has the same name.
Thanks for the inspiration Iliyan.

This is needed to properly initialize the C runtime when libc.so
is loaded by the dynamic linker.
Move the temporary TLS setup before the first system call, just
in case something really horrible happens, we won't crash when
trying to write an error code in 'errno'
Remove the broken TLS_SLOT_THREAD_ID setup. First, this slot
should normally receive the address of a pthread_internal_t,
not a kernel thread identifier. Second, it is never used by
the linker anyway.
Also remove an obsolete comment.
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.
