Add a function "android_dlopen_ext()", defined in <android/dlext.h>.
This is an extended version of dlopen() which takes a struct for passing
additional parameters for Android-specific functionality. This will be
used to support RELRO section sharing between separate processes.

Remove the linker's reliance on BSD cruft and use the glibc-style
ElfW macro. (Other code too, but the linker contains the majority
of the code that needs to work for Elf32 and Elf64.)
All platforms need dl_iterate_phdr_static, so it doesn't make sense
to have that part of the per-architecture configuration.

Some system functions like munmap expect soinfo's size to be size_t, but currently
it is unsigned. Change it to size_t to fit 64bit's portability.

We're not going to have init(1) set LD_LIBRARY_PATH globally on 64-bit.
This patch makes it possible for libnativehelper to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in each Java VM (to support System.loadLibrary) without also hard-coding
the default search path there.

We don't need our own architecture macros; the standard ones will do.
This patch also fixes some __x86_64__ tests to be USE_RELA tests instead,
because they're not actually x86_64-specific.
I've cleaned up architecture-specific code slightly so where possible
all the code corresponding to a particular architecture is together.
This patch also fixes a bug in LP64 DT_PLTGOT handling, which should be
an error rather than falling through into DT_DEBUG! There was another #ifdef
bug where we'd only report unexpected DT_ entries on MIPS.

This matches glibc and makes life easier for developers who want to
sometimes preload a library from init (which has no conditionals); they
can simply move/remove the library to disable.

This adds __libc_fatal, cleans up the internal logging code a bit more,
and switches suitable callers over to __libc_fatal. In addition to logging,
__libc_fatal stashes the message somewhere that the debuggerd signal handler
can find it before calling abort.
In the debuggerd signal handler, we pass this address to debuggerd so that
it can come back with ptrace to read the message and present it to the user.

We only need one logging API, and I prefer the one that does no
allocation and is thus safe to use in any context.
Also use O_CLOEXEC when opening the /dev/log files.
Move everything logging-related into one header file.

Still chipping away at the situation where every variable in the
linker was of type 'unsigned'. This patch switches counts over to
being size_t and adds an explicit type for init/fini function pointers
and arrays of function pointers.
Also improve logging from CallArray.
Also remove trailing "\n"s from log messages.

linker, so use mmap() instead.

If an executable contain copy relocations, other references
to the symbol it points to should be preempted and made to
point to the copy instead.
Also, the linker should make sure the target area has
sufficient space to contain the copy. It also checks
whether the library that supplies the symbol is built
with -Bsymbolic, and errors out if this is the case.

I still want to break linker_format out into its own library so we can reuse
it for malloc debugging and so forth. (There are many similar pieces of code
in bionic, but the linker's one seems to be the most complete/functional.)

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
security enhanced kernels don't like it. Pages which are
simultaneously writable and executable are considered a no-no.
The vast majority of executables / shared libraries on Android
do NOT have text relocations.

Also make the errors more readable, since none of us seemed to know
what they actually meant. The new style is still as verbose as the
old, but that's probably necessary in the absence of chained exceptions
in C. Here's what you'd see if you try to boot after removing
libsurfaceflinger.so:
32267 32267 E AndroidRuntime: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Cannot load library: (linker.c:1629, pid 32259) soinfo_link_image: could not load library "libsystem_server.so" needed by "libandroid_servers.so"; caused by (linker.c:1629, pid 32259) soinfo_link_image: could not load library "libsurfaceflinger.so" needed by "libsystem_server.so"; caused by (linker.c:709, pid 32259) load_library: library "libsurfaceflinger.so" not found

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 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 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.

This patch adds to make the linker a little bit easier to understand
by making all functions that acts on a sofino object with a soinfo_
prefix.
This is to more easily distinguish functions that operate on global
state, and those that operate on individual libraries.
This should be purely stylistic, i.e. no feature/behaviour change.

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 ...
Now the behaviour is the same as before applying PROT_NONE in
alloc_mem_region().
This CL fixed the original issue, supporting shared libraries that have
non-zero p_vaddr in first (= with lowest p_vaddr) PT_LOAD segment.

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.

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
