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.
+ Add missing END() assembly macro for x86

The xattr system calls are required for the SE Android userspace in
order to get and set file security contexts. In particular, libselinux

Without this change strcmp size is zero (not set), and it gets
ignored by Valgrind. Changes to memcpy and atexit don't affect the
generated binary in any way.

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.

Unfortunately, legacy .so files for ARM don't have a correct crtbegin file.
Consequently, we have to grandfather the old __dso_handle behaviour.
Add some ifdefs for ARM to allow it to use the old code until we can work
out a transition.

The kernel has supported this syscall for quite some time now,
but bionic did not. Now that there is a need for it, let's
add it to bionic.

syscall. Useful for valgrind.

Add a macro to annotate function end and start using both ENTRY and END
for each function. This allows valgrind (and presumably other debugging
tools) to use the debug symbols to trace the functions.

This patch improves the handling of 64-bit parameters in syscalls on ARM.
The ARM EABI mandates that 64-bit quantities be passed in even/odd register
pairs, which requires special treatment.
This allows us to simplify our implementations of pread() and pwrite()
and remove the C stubs for pread64() and pwrite64().
Also add ftruncate64() to <unistd.h>

Fixes for the ARM-specific bswap_16, bswap_32, and bswap_64.
1. Make the feature test work by excluding known-deficient processors, so
we don't have to maintain a complete list of all the processors that support
REV and REV16.
2. Don't abuse 'register' to get an effect similar to GCC's +l constraint,
but which was unnecessarily restrictive.
3. Fix __swap64md so _x isn't clobbered, breaking 64-bit swaps.
4. Make <byteswap.h> (which declars bswap_16 and friends) use <endian.h>
rather than <sys/endian.h>, so we get the machine-dependent implementations.

ARMv6 ISA has several instructions to handle data in different byte order.
For endian conversion (byte swapping) of single data words, it might be a
good idea to use the REV/REV16 instruction simply.

With this patch _and_ an upcoming build/ patch, the destruction
of static C++ objects contained in shared libraries will happen
properly when dlclose() is called.
Note that this change introduces crtbegin_so.S and crtend_so.S which
are currently ignored by the build system.
+ move definition of __dso_handle to the right place
(before that, all shared libraries used the __dso_handle
global variable from the C library).
Note that we keep a 'weak' __dso_handle in aeabi.c to avoid
breaking the build until the next patch to build/core/combo/
appears. We will be able to remove that later.
+ move bionic/aeabi.c to arch-arm/bionic/ (its proper location)
NOTE: The NDK will need to be modified to enable this feature in
the shared libraries that are generated through it.
