I gave up trying to use the usual thread-local buffer idiom; calls to
calloc(3) and free(3) from any of the "dl" functions -- which live in
the dynamic linker -- end up resolving to the dynamic linker's stubs.
I tried to work around that, but was just making things more complicated.
This alternative costs us a well-known TLS slot (instead of the
dynamically-allocated TLS slot we'd have used otherwise, so no difference
there), plus an extra buffer inside every pthread_internal_t.

This patch removes the DT_NEEDED hack which stores pointers
to soinfo structs in the .dynamic section of the library
being loaded.
Instead, it caches the soinfo struct pointers on the stack
during relocation time. After relocation time, i.e. when
calling constructors and destructors of the shared library
and its dependencies, uncached access is used instead,
doing lookups using the string table entries pointed to by
the DT_NEEDED entries.
By removing this hack, it is no longer needed to undo the
PT_GNURELRO protection, i.e., all non-writable mappings
can remain non-writable during their entire lifespan.
Even though, strictly speaking, the algorithmic complexity
has increased somewhat, the real-world adverse effect
is negligible on the systems I have tested.

The linker only needs to mark the text segment as
writable iff the file has text relocations. Unnecessarily
calling mprotect when it isn't necessary is slow, and some

- when relocating the linker of the executable, unprotect

- after all relocations are done, re-protect the segments,

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.

Before changing mmap() permission to PROT_NONE in alloc_mem_region(),
such libraries once worked with a bug that uses mmap'ed region outside of
memory region allocated by alloc_mem_region(). This possibly incurs
SIGSEGV because it can overwrite memory region of previously loaded
library, but it sometimes worked, depending on loading order.
After PROT_NONE, this caused SIGSEGV earlier during calculation of
si->phdr in load_library(), but this was fixed by:
75917c84d1 Use mmap to read an ...

Compile the linker with -fvisibility=hidden. This reduces the number
of symbols that show up in the .dynsym section of the linker.
These symbols are never exported to other applications.
In particular, this fixes a problem with setting -DLINKER_DEBUG=1
introduced in 468319ce4f.
Because the symbols "debug_verbosity" and "format_log" have not been
resolved before the linker links itself, any attempt to call
PRINT / INFO / TRACE / WARN / ERROR will result in a segfault.
This change allows the static linker to produce a relative reference
to these symbols rather than relying on relocation.
This also has a nice side effect of making the linker slightly smaller
and slightly more optimized.

When the dynamic linker loads a shared library into memory, it
initially allocates a chunk of memory. The memory is then carved
into smaller chunks for each LOAD region, and appropriate memory
protections applied.
Modify the initial memory allocation so that the pages are mapped
as PROT_NONE, rather than PROT_READ / PROT_EXEC. This ensures that
gaps between LOAD regions are not inadvertantly readable / executable.

Bug 5035703
Change-Id: I8940af47297b5dcf3cf33537e3483ca5334ed565
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.

Prelinked libraries must be mapped to a fixed address. MAP_FIXED is ignored
for non-prelinked libraries (si->base==0)

system_server loads up 87 shared libraries upon start. Running under
valgrind pushes this just over the edge of 96. Increase SO_MAX to 128 to
give us some more headroom.

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.

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.

The LD_PRELOAD environment variable allows the user to specify a list of
libraries which should be unconditionally loaded before any others. This
makes possible some useful tricks, such as library interposers.

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
symbol information for a specified memory address. It is useful for things
like generating backtrace information at runtime.

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.

-- ba_prelink is used to manage non-prelinked libraries, hence ba_nonprelink is
a more appropriate name for it

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.
