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.

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.

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.)

error: C99 designator 'name' outside aggregate initializer
G++ 4.7+ can't handle some of C99 designated initializers.
Most likely it's just not implemented yet. Other possible workarounds is
to compile this as C not C++ or define name as char* instead of char[SIZE].

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.

Lose the pid, only show the name of the function (not its whole signature),
and include the name of the library we failed to load. (I hadn't noticed
that the library name was missing before because in Java we add that into
the UnsatisfiedLinkError detail message.)
The new output looks like this:

Section 4.7.1.10, ARM_R_COPY relocations are only suppose to reference shared
libraries, not the executable itself. When resolving an R_ARM_COPY symbol,
ensure we don't look in our own symbol.
This partially addresses
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28598 . After this
patch, the printfs generated by the test program are:
global = 0x42 (0x401c7000)
global = 0x42 (0x11000)
before, the output was:
global = 0x42 (0x40071000)
global = 0x0 (0x11000)
I'm still not very happy with this patch, but I think it's an improvement
over where we were at before.

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
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.
