To take advantage of file-backed huge pages for the text segments of key
shared libraries (go/android-hugepages), the dynamic linker must load
candidate ELF files at an appropriately aligned address and mark
executable segments with MADV_HUGEPAGE.
This patches uses segments' p_align values to determine when a file is
PMD aligned (2MB alignment), and performs load operations accordingly.
Bug: 158135888
Test: Verified PMD aligned libraries are backed with huge pages on
supporting kernel versions.

This patch adds support to load BTI-enabled objects.
According to the ABI, BTI is recorded in the .note.gnu.property section.
The new parser evaluates the property section, if exists.
It searches for .note section with NT_GNU_PROPERTY_TYPE_0.
Once found it tries to find GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_AND.
The results are cached.
The main change in linker is when protection of loaded ranges gets
applied. When BTI is requested and the platform also supports it
the prot flags have to be amended with PROT_BTI for executable ranges.
Failing to add PROT_BTI flag would disable BTI protection.
Moreover, adding the new PROT flag for shared objects without BTI
compatibility would break applications.
Kernel does not add PROT_BTI to a loaded ELF which has interpreter.
Linker handles this case too.
Test: 1. Flame boots
2. Tested on FVP with BTI enabled

Add inaccessible gaps between shared libraries to make it harder for the
attackers to defeat ASLR by random probing.
To avoid excessive page table bloat, only do this when a library is
about to cross a huge page boundary, effectively allowing several
smaller libraries to be lumped together.

ANDROID_DLEXT_WRITE_RELRO was causing the GNU RELRO sections of
libraries to become corrupted if more than one library was being loaded
at once (i.e. if the root library has DT_NEEDED entries for libraries
that weren't already loaded). The file offset was not being correctly
propagated between calls, so after writing out the (correct) RELRO data
to the file, it was mapping the data at file offset 0 for all libraries,
which corrupted the data for all but one of the libraries.
Fix this by passing file_offset as a pointer the same way that
phdr_table_map_gnu_relro does.

Introduce a new flag ANDROID_DLEXT_RESERVED_ADDRESS_RECURSIVE which
instructs the linker to use the reserved address space to load all of
the newly-loaded libraries required by a dlopen() call instead of only
the main library. They will be loaded consecutively into that region if
they fit. The RELRO sections of all the loaded libraries will also be
considered for reading/writing shared RELRO data.
This will allow the WebView implementation to potentially consist of
more than one .so file while still benefiting from the RELRO sharing
optimisation, which would otherwise only apply to the "root" .so file.
Test: bionic-unit-tests (existing and newly added)

The executable can be inside a zip file using the same syntax used for
shared objects: path.zip!/libentry.so.
The linker currently requires an absolute path. This restriction could be
loosened, but it didn't seem important? If it allowed non-absolute paths,
we'd need to decide how to handle:
- foo/bar (relative to CWD?)
- foo (search PATH / LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or also relative to CWD?)
- foo.zip!/bar (normalize_path() requires an absolute path)
The linker adjusts the argc/argv passed to main() and to constructor
functions to hide the initial linker argument, but doesn't adjust the auxv
vector or files like /proc/self/{exe,cmdline,auxv,stat}. Those files will
report that the kernel loaded the linker as an executable.
I think the linker_logger.cpp change guarding against (g_argv == NULL)
isn't actually necessary, but it seemed like a good idea given that I'm
delaying initialization of g_argv until after C++ constructors have run.

dlclose used to unmap the part of the reserved region
for ANDROID_DLEXT_RESERVED_ADDRESS that was neccessary
to map PT_LOAD segments. With this change dlclose
replaces mapped PT_LOAD segments with a PROT_NONE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_NORESERVE.
Previously caller was unmapping the reserved region after
the failed dlclose which led to race condition when someone
else reused the region freed by dlclose but before the unmap
by the chromium code.

Setup a /system/bin/linker_asan as a symlink to "linker".
Read the linker name from PT_INTERP, and if it is linker_asan,
switch default library lookup paths to the ASan set, which
starts with the path to the instrumented libraries
(/data/lib), followed by /system/lib as a fallback.
This ensures that ASan binaries prefer ASan libraries, when
available. This approach is way better then RPATH/RUNPATH and even
better than LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
- RUNPATH is per-DSO, while default paths are global.
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH is overwritten by android_update_LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
- neither RUNPATH nor LD_LIBRARY_PATH appear in
android_get_LD_LIBRARY_PATH which is used to build java.lang.path.
Having ASan libraries in java.lang.path is a good thing.

Add flags and a file descriptor to android_dlopen_ext() to allow writing
the RELRO section of the loaded library to a file after relocation
processing, and to allow mapping identical pages from the file over the
top of relocated memory in another process. Explicitly comparing the
pages is required in case a page contains a reference to a symbol
defined in another library loaded at a random base address.

Add flags and parameters to android_dlopen_ext() to allow loading a
library at an already-reserved fixed address. If the library to be
loaded will not fit within the space reserved, then the linker will
either fail, or allocate its own address space as usual, according to
which flag has been specified. This behaviour only applies to the
specific library requested; any other libraries loaded as dependencies
will be loaded in the normal fashion.
There is a new gtest included to cover the functionality added.

to have that part of the per-architecture configuration.

We don't need our own architecture macros; the standard ones will do.
This patch also fixes some __x86_64__ tests to be USE_RELA tests instead,
because they're not actually x86_64-specific.
I've cleaned up architecture-specific code slightly so where possible
all the code corresponding to a particular architecture is together.
This patch also fixes a bug in LP64 DT_PLTGOT handling, which should be
an error rather than falling through into DT_DEBUG! There was another #ifdef
bug where we'd only report unexpected DT_ entries on MIPS.

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.

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:

to manage the program header table in an ELF binary, including the ability
