cdefs.h: Introduce the __purefunc attribute, which allows us to mark
certain functions as being "pure".
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html
Many functions have no effects except the return value and their
return value depends only on the parameters and/or global variables.
Such a function can be subject to common subexpression elimination
and loop optimization just as an arithmetic operator would be.
string.h: Mark many commently used string functions as "pure", to
allow for additional compiler optimizations.

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.
See:
* http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/nonselsec.pdf (section 6)
* http://tk-blog.blogspot.com/2009/02/relro-not-so-well-known-memory.html
Note that this change has no effect on Android right now, because
we don't compile our code with relro enabled.

This patch defines a few new macros that can be used to control the
visibility of symbols exported by the C library:
- ENTRY_PRIVATE() can be used in assembly sources to indicate
that an assembler function should have "hidden" visibility, i.e.
will never be exported by the C library's shared library.
This is the equivalent of using __LIBC_HIDDEN__ for a C function,
but ENTRY_PRIVATE() works like ENTRY(), and must be used with
END() to tag the end of the function.
- __LIBC_ABI_PUBLIC__ can be used to tag a C functions as being
part of the C library's public ABI. This is important for a
few functions that must be exposed by the NDK to maintain
binary compatibility.
Once a symbol has been tagged with this macro, it shall
*never* be removed from the library, even if it becomes
directly unused due to implementation changes
(e.g. __is_threaded).
- __LIBC_ABI_PRIVATE__ can be used for C functions that should
always be exported by the C library because they are used by
other libraries in the platform, but should not be exposed
by the NDK. It is possible to remove such symbols from the
implementation if all callers are also modified.
+ Add missing END() assembly macro for x86

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

__atomic_cmpxchg and other related atomic operations did not
provide memory barriers, which can be a problem for non-platform
code that links against them when it runs on multi-core devices.
This patch does two things to fix this:
- It modifies the existing implementation of the functions
that are exported by the C library to always provide
full memory barriers. We need to keep them exported by
the C library to prevent breaking existing application
machine code.
- It also modifies <sys/atomics.h> to only export
always-inlined versions of the functions, to ensure that
any application code compiled against the new header will
not rely on the platform version of the functions.
This ensure that said machine code will run properly on
all multi-core devices.
This is based on the GCC built-in sync primitives.
The end result should be only slightly slower than the
previous implementation.
Note that the platform code does not use these functions
at all. A previous patch completely removed their usage in
the pthread and libstdc++ code.
+ rename arch-arm/bionic/atomics_arm.S to futex_arm.S
+ rename arch-x86/bionic/atomics_x86.S to futex_x86.S
+ remove arch-x86/include/sys/atomics.h which already
provided inlined functions to the x86 platform.

All the other property stuff is already here. Property setting was
only in libcutils previously to leverage a utility function / constant
or two.
Unfortunately in the process of fixing a race condition we would've
had to do break abstraction boundaries and put some libc-internal
details into libcutils so instead of that we'll just move this
into bionic.

Make the scripts use external/kernel-headers/original by default.
clean_header.py: Document -k<path>, add -d<path>
find_headers.py: Make kernel config files optional
update_all.py: Allow setting the path to kernel headers on the command-line
update_all.py: Better formatting of output on ttys
update_all.py: Automatically perform "git add/rm" on affected files.
SYSCALLS.TXT: Fix typo in __socketcall definition.
checksyscalls.py: Add support for superH architecture in the checks.
gensyscalls.py: Automatically perform "git add/rm" on affected files.
cpp.py: Fixed a bug that prevented certain type definitions to
be kept in the generated clean header (e.g.
struct ethtool_drvinfo in <linux/ethtool.h>)
All scripts will use the content of external/kernel-headers/original by default now.
The generated code removes all empty lines and trailing whitespace. This is useful
to ensure a unified output even if we change the parser again in the future.
The top-level disclaimer has been edited with update instructions to regenerate
the headers when needed.
Also, a warning is now inserted every 8th line in the final output:
/* WARNING: DO NOT EDIT, AUTO-GENERATED CODE - SEE TOP FOR INSTRUCTIONS */
Changes under kernel/arch-arm and kernel/arch-x86 should correspond to whitespace
differences and additionnal struct definitions that were missed by the previous
parser implementation.

It seems there are discrepancies between the content of original headers
and those currently commited under bionic/libc/kernel/.

This patch improves the handling of 64-bit parameters in syscalls on ARM.
The ARM EABI mandates that 64-bit quantities be passed in even/odd register
pairs, which requires special treatment.
This allows us to simplify our implementations of pread() and pwrite()
and remove the C stubs for pread64() and pwrite64().
Also add ftruncate64() to <unistd.h>

GDB looks for specific opcode sequences when trying to recognize a stack
frame as a signal trampoline. The sequences it looks for happen to be those
created when SA_RESTORER is set, since glibc always sets a restorer. This
patch does the same here, so that the trampolines can be correctly identified.
