The x86_64 build was failing because clone.S had a call to __thread_entry which
was being added to a different intermediate .a on the way to making libc.so,
and the linker couldn't guarantee statically that such a relocation would be
possible.
ld: error: out/target/product/generic_x86_64/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libc_common_intermediates/libc_common.a(clone.o): requires dynamic R_X86_64_PC32 reloc against '__thread_entry' which may overflow at runtime; recompile with -fPIC
This patch addresses that by ensuring that the caller and callee end up in the
same intermediate .a. While I'm here, I've tried to clean up some of the mess
that led to this situation too. In particular, this removes libc/private/ from
the default include path (except for the DNS code), and splits out the DNS
code into its own library (since it's a weird special case of upstream NetBSD
code that's diverged so heavily it's unlikely ever to get back in sync).
There's more cleanup of the DNS situation possible, but this is definitely a
step in the right direction, and it's more than enough to get x86_64 building
cleanly.

This change pulls the memcpy code out into a new file so that the
__strcpy_chk and __strcat_chk can use it with an include.
The new versions of the two chk functions uses assembly versions
of strlen and memcpy to implement this check. This allows near
parity with the assembly versions of strcpy/strcat. It also means that
as memcpy implementations get faster, so do the chk functions.
Other included changes:
- Change all of the assembly labels to local labels. The other labels
confuse gdb and mess up backtracing.
- Add .cfi_startproc and .cfi_endproc directives so that gdb is not
confused when falling through from one function to another.
- Change all functions to use cfi directives since they are more powerful.
- Move the memcpy_chk fail code outside of the memcpy function definition
so that backtraces work properly.
- Preserve lr before the calls to __fortify_chk_fail so that the backtrace
actually works.
Testing:
- Ran the bionic unit tests. Verified all error messages in logs are set
correctly.
- Ran libc_test, replacing strcpy with __strcpy_chk and replacing
strcat with __strcat_chk.
- Ran the debugger on nexus10, nexus4, and old nexus7. Verified that the
backtrace is correct for all fortify check failures. Also verify that
when falling through from __memcpy_chk to memcpy that the backtrace is
still correct. Also verified the same for __memset_chk and bzero.
Verified the two different paths in the cortex-a9 memset routine that
save variables to the stack still show the backtrace properly.

This change creates assembler versions of __memcpy_chk/__memset_chk
that is implemented in the memcpy/memset assembler code. This change
avoids an extra call to memcpy/memset, instead allowing a simple fall
through to occur from the chk code into the body of the real
implementation.
Testing:
- Ran the libc_test on __memcpy_chk/__memset_chk on all nexus devices.
- Wrote a small test executable that has three calls to __memcpy_chk and
three calls to __memset_chk. First call dest_len is length + 1. Second
call dest_len is length. Third call dest_len is length - 1.
Verified that the first two calls pass, and the third fails. Examined
the logcat output on all nexus devices to verify that the fortify
error message was sent properly.
- I benchmarked the new __memcpy_chk and __memset_chk on all systems. For
__memcpy_chk and large copies, the savings is relatively small (about 1%).
For small copies, the savings is large on cortex-a15/krait devices
(between 5% to 30%).
For cortex-a9 and small copies, the speed up is present, but relatively
small (about 3% to 5%).
For __memset_chk and large copies, the savings is also small (about 1%).
However, all processors show larger speed-ups on small copies (about 30% to
100%).

Create one version of strcat/strcpy/strlen for cortex-a15/krait and another
version for cortex-a9.
Tested with the libc_test strcat/strcpy/strlen tests.
Including new tests that verify that the src for strcat/strcpy do not
overread across page boundaries.
NOTE: The handling of unaligned strcpy (same code in strcat) could probably
be optimized further such that the src is read 64 bits at a time instead of
the partial reads occurring now.
strlen improves slightly since it was recently optimized.
Performance improvements for strcpy and strcat (using an empty dest string):
cortex-a9
- Small copies vary from about 5% to 20% as the size gets above 10 bytes.
- Copies >= 1024, about a 60% improvement.
- Unaligned copies, from about 40% improvement.
cortex-a15
- Most small copies exhibit a 100% improvement, a few copies only
improve by 20%.
- Copies >= 1024, about 150% improvement.
- Unaligned copies, about 100% improvement.
krait
- Most small copies vary widely, but on average 20% improvement, then
the performance gets better, hitting about a 100% improvement when
copies 64 bytes of data.
- Copies >= 1024, about 100% improvement.
- When coping MBs of data, about 50% improvement.
- Unaligned copies, about 90% improvement.
As strcat destination strings get larger in size:
cortex-a9
- about 40% improvement for small dst strings (>= 32).
- about 250% improvement for dst strings >= 1024.
cortex-a15
- about 200% improvement for small dst strings (>=32).
- about 250% improvement for dst strings >= 1024.
krait
- about 25% improvement for small dst strings (>=32).
- about 100% improvement for dst strings >=1024.

This uses the new strcmp.a15.S code as the basis for new versions
of strcmp.S.
The cortex-a15 code is the performance optimized version of strcmp.a15.S
taken with only the addition of a few pld instructions.
The cortex-a9 code is the same as the cortex-a15 code except that the
unaligned strcmp code was taken from the original strcmp.S.
The krait code is the same as the cortex-a15 code except that one path
in the unaligned strcmp code was taken from the original strcmp.S code
(the 2 byte overlap case).
The generic code is the original unmodified strmp.S from the bionic
subdirectory.
All three new versions underwent these test cases:
Strings the same, all same size:
- Both pointers double word aligned.
- One pointer double word aligned, one pointer word aligned.
- Both pointers word aligned.
- One pointer double word aligned, one pointer 1 off a word alignment.
- One pointer double word aligned, one pointer 2 off a word alignment.
- One pointer double word aligned, one pointer 3 off a word alignment.
- One pointer word aligned, one pointer 1 off a word alignment.
- One pointer word aligned, one pointer 2 off a word alignment.
- One pointer word aligned, one pointer 3 off a word alignment.
For all cases where it made sense, the two pointers were also tested
swapped.
Different strings, all same size:
- Single difference at double word boundary.
- Single difference at word boudary.
- Single difference at 1 off a word alignment.
- Single difference at 2 off a word alignment.
- Single difference at 3 off a word alignment.
Different sized strings, strings the same until the end:
- Shorter string ends on a double word boundary.
- Shorter string ends on word boundary.
- Shorter string ends at 1 off a word boundary.
- Shorter string ends at 2 off a word boundary.
- Shorter string ends at 3 off a word boundary.
For all different cases, run them through the same pointer alignment
cases when the strings are the same size.
For all cases the two pointers were also tested swapped.
