The runtime linker parses the ELF section headers to
discover the size of the init_array and fini_array, so
there is no point in putting NULL terminators at the end.

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

Some SoCs that support NEON nevertheless perform better with a non-NEON than a
NEON memcpy(). This patch adds build variable ARCH_ARM_USE_NON_NEON_MEMCPY,
which can be set in BoardConfig.mk. When ARCH_ARM_USE_NON_NEON_MEMCPY is
defined, we compile in the non-NEON optimized memcpy() even if the SoC supports
NEON.

This change fixes a segmentation fault in the libc unwinder when it goes
past __libc_init.
Unwind instructions for __libc_init direct it to grab the return address from
the stack frame. Without this change, the unwinder gets a wild address and
looks up further unwind instructions for the routine at that address. If it's
unlucky enough to hit an existing function, it will try to unwind it. Bad
things happen then.
With this change, the return address always points to the _start function,
which does not have unwind instructions associated with it. This stop the
unwind process.
__libc_init never returns, so this does not affect program execution, other
than adding 4 bytes on the main thread stack.

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.

__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

provided inlined functions to the x86 platform.

This patch ensure that __aeabi_f2uiz is embedded in our C library.
This is needed to avoid breaking certain applications when they are
loaded in ICS. It is likely that the issue is due to mis-linked
binaries generated with the stand-alone toolchain (the problem
should not exist if you use ndk-build), but this fix is easier
than asking all app developers to fix their custom build system.
