The attached patch provides a new implementation of strcmp for ARM,
using LDRD instead of LDR whenever possible.
For older architectures that do not support LDRD, this implementation
uses the same algorithm as before.
Testing and benchmarking:
* Validation: successfully passes a test that compares different strings
of length 1-128 and offsets 0-8 from a word boundary. Checked on
qemu/A15/A9, ARM/Thumb mode, Big/Little Endian.
* Integration with gcc: no regression on qemu for arm-none-eabi --with-cpu
a15/a9 --with-mode arm/thumb.

The strategy for large block sizes is LDRD and STRD with offset addressing,
where the main loop copies 64 bytes in every iteration, (i.e., 8 calls to
LDRD and STRD pairs), interleaving load and stores (i.e., the pairs of LDRD
and STRD of the same data are consecutive instructions), and the writeback
of an updated address is a separate instruction, which allows us to write
back the accumulated update once per iteration.
This strategy is implemented in memcpy.S. In some configurations, a plain
version of memcpy (included from memcpy-stub.c) is used instead of the
optimized one.
Validation:
* Correctness: checked memcpy using a test harness for block sizes
ranging between 1 to 128, and source and destination buffers alignment
ranging in { 0,1,2,3,4,8,12 } bytes each.
* Performance: benchmarking on Cortex-A15 FPGA indicates that this strategy
is better for A15 than the strategy used by glibc and even slightly better
than using NEON. Benchmarking on Cortex-A9 bare metal and Linux shows
that the proposed strategy is reasonable: not as fast as the version of
memcpy from glibc (which is the best open source strategy for A9), but
comparable with csl and bionic.
* Integration with GCC: no regression for arm-none-eabi --with-cpu
cortex-a15 and cortex-a9.

This brings us up to date with FreeBSD HEAD, fixes various bugs, unifies
the set of functions we support on ARM, MIPS, and x86, fixes "long double",
adds ISO C99 support, and adds basic unit tests.
It turns out that our "long double" functions have always been broken
for non-normal numbers. This patch fixes that by not using the upstream
implementations and just forwarding to the regular "double" implementation
instead (since "long double" on Android is just "double" anyway, which is
what BSD doesn't support).
All the tests pass on ARM, MIPS, and x86, plus glibc on x86-64.

We had two copies of the backtrace code, and two copies of the
libcorkscrew /proc/pid/maps code. This patch gets us down to one.
We also had hacks so we could log in the malloc debugging code.
This patch pulls the non-allocating "printf" code out of the
dynamic linker so everyone can share.
This patch also makes the leak diagnostics easier to read, and
makes it possible to paste them directly into the 'stack' tool (by
using relative PCs).
This patch also fixes the stdio standard stream leak that was
causing a leak warning every time tf_daemon ran.

In the default case, we don't need to use the stack, we can save r7 with
ip register (that what does eglibc).
This allow to fix vfork data corruption
(see 3884bfe966), because vfork now don't
use the stack.
If the platform code is compiled with -mcpu=cortex-a15, then without this
change prebuilt libraries built against -march=armv7 cannot resolve the
dependency on __aeabi_idiv (provided by libgcc.a).

Add signalfd() call to bionic.

number) to libc/SYSCALLS.TXT
- generate all necessary headers by calling
libc/tools/gensyscalls.py. This patch is adding

does not call gensyscalls.py.

Previously we'd been relying on getting the machine-specific <endian.h>
instead of the top-level <endian.h>, and <sys/endian.h> was basically broken.
Now, with this patch and the previous patch we should have <endian.h>
and <sys/endian.h> behaving the same. This is basically how NetBSD's endian.h
works, and was probably how ours was originally intended to work.

We'd manually hacked _BYTE_ORDER into the arm and mips "_types.h" headers,
but not into the x86 one. Judging by upstream, _BYTE_ORDER should be in
the "endian.h" headers instead, so let's uniformly do that.
I've also ironed out some of the other differences between the different
architectures' header files too.

Add a GNU_STACK marker to crtend* files. This tells the linker
that these files do not require an executable stack.
When linking, a missing GNU_STACK marker in any .o file can prevent
the compiler from automatically marking the final executable as NX
safe (executable stack not required). In Android, we normally work
around this by adding -Wa,--noexecstack / -Wl,-z,noexecstack.
For files like crtend.S / crtend_so.S, which are included in every
executable / shared library, it's better to add the GNU_STACK note
directly to the assembly file. This allows the compiler to
automatically mark the final executable as NX safe without any
special command line options.

Rewrite
crtbegin.S -> crtbegin.c
crtbegin_so.S -> crtbegin_so.c
This change allows us to generate PIC code without relying
on text relocations.
As a consequence of this rewrite, also rewrite
__dso_handle.S -> __dso_handle.c
__dso_handle_so.S -> __dso_handle_so.c
atexit.S -> atexit.c
In crtbegin.c _start, place the __PREINIT_ARRAY__, __INIT_ARRAY__,
__FINI_ARRAY__, and __CTOR_LIST__ variables onto the stack, instead of
passing a pointer to the text section of the binary.
This change appears sorta wonky, as I attempted to preserve,
as much as possible, the structure of the original assembly.
As a result, you have C files including other C files, and other
programming uglyness.
Result: This change reduces the number of files with text-relocations
from 315 to 19 on my Android build.
Before:
$ scanelf -aR $OUT/system | grep TEXTREL | wc -l
315
After:
$ scanelf -aR $OUT/system | grep TEXTREL | wc -l
19
