There's now only one place where we deal with this stuff, it only needs to
be parsed once by the dynamic linker (rather than by each recipient), and it's
now easier for us to get hold of auxv data early on.

Replace a kernel header file dependency with files from NetBSD.
They're more complete, and ELF is ELF, whether you're on Linux or a BSD.

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.

The linker is essentially a shared library, and incorporates
it's own copy of libc. Even though it's unnecessary, currently
/system/bin/linker is exporting various libc symbols (only to
apps which explicitly dlopen /system/bin/linker)
Add --exclude-libs,ALL, which tells the static linker to mark
all of the imported libc symbols as hidden. This reduces the
size of /system/bin/linker from 92K to 67K with no obvious
loss in functionality.
$ adb shell ls -l /system/bin/linker

$ adb shell ls -l /system/bin/linker

The AT_RANDOM changes broke setuid / setgid executables
such as "ping". When the linker executes a setuid program,
it cleans the environment, removing any invalid environment
entries, and adding "NULL"s to the end of the environment
array for each removed variable. Later on, we try to determine
the location of the aux environment variable, and get tripped
up by these extra NULLs.
Reverting this patch will get setuid executables working again,
but getauxval() is still broken for setuid programs because of
this bug.
This reverts commit e3a49a8661.

Populate the stack canaries from the kernel supplied
AT_RANDOM value, which doesn't involve any system calls.
This is slightly faster (6 fewer syscalls) and avoids
unnecessarily reading /dev/urandom, which depletes entropy.

When executing a setuid executable, filter out ANDROID_PROPERTY_WORKSPACE
from the environment. Some applications implicitly trust the property
space and don't realize that it's passed by an environment variable
which can be modified by the caller.

This patch replaces .S versions of x86 crtfiles with .c which are much
easier to support. Some of the files are matching .c version of Arm
crtfiles. x86 files required some cleanup anyway and this cleanup actually
led to matching Arm files.
I didn't change anything to share the same crt*.c between x86 and Arm. I
prefer to keep them separate for a while in case any change is required
for one of the arch, but it's good thing to do in the following patches.

If you need to build your own linker to get debugging, the debugging
is never available when you need it.

According ELF spec re. DT_SYMBOLIC:
This element's presence in a shared object library alters the dynamic
linker's symbol resolution algorithm for references within the library.
Instead of starting a symbol search with the executable file, the
dynamic linker starts from the shared object itself. If the shared
object fails to supply the referenced symbol, the dynamic linker then
searches the executable file and other shared objects as usual.
This change implements the last part.

NVIDIA binary blobs construct strings to pass to dlopen(3) that
contain '/' but require that we fall back to LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

We'll need a lot more refactoring of this code before we can reduce
the granularity, but this is a step forward.

Request memory from the system when needed instead of having a fixed
array for soinfo structs. Note that malloc() et al can't be used in
linker, so use mmap() instead.

Also ensure that dlopen(3) errors always include the name of the library we
failed to open.
Also fix a bug where we'd fall back to searching LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the
built-in paths for names that include slashes.

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.
