Also make sure we get the whole of any copyright header, in case
there's text before the "Copyright" line.

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.

Allow naming such as u1_system, u2_radio, u2_media.
Forward and reverse mapping for the above.

This should help prevent broken builds next time I'm messing with
assembler/compiler/linker flags...

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.

Otherwise gdb will print a spurious warning each time gdb is used:
warning: .dynamic section for "/system/bin/linker" is not at the expected
address (wrong library or version mismatch?)

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.

This reverts commit 8793e7c7d2,
and fixes the build by building upstream NetBSD source as a
separate library that's then swallowed whole into libc_common.

There were two bugs in our implementation. Intel found one, but another
remainined, and tracking upstream is the way forward for functions where
we add no value.

Remove the hand-collated ones, and switch to a script that pulls the
copyright headers out of every file and collects the unique ones.

These are dead. I cleaned up external/ a long time ago, but didn't
realize there were any in the main tree.
