The kernel system call faccessat() does not have any flags arguments,
so passing flags to the kernel is currently ignored.
Fix the kernel system call so that no flags argument is passed in.
Ensure that we don't support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW. This non-POSIX
(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/access.html)
flag is a glibc extension, and has non-intuitive, error prone behavior.
For example, consider the following code:
symlink("foo.is.dangling", "foo");
if (faccessat(AT_FDCWD, "foo", R_OK, AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) == 0) {
int fd = openat(AT_FDCWD, "foo", O_RDONLY | O_NOFOLLOW);
}
The faccessat() call in glibc will return true, but an attempt to
open the dangling symlink will end up failing. GLIBC documents this
as returning the access mode of the symlink itself, which will
always return true for any symlink on Linux.
Some further discussions of this are at:
* http://lists.landley.net/pipermail/toybox-landley.net/2014-September/003617.html
* http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lib.musl.general/6952
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW seems broken by design. I suspect this is why this
function was never added to POSIX. (note that "access" is pretty much
broken by design too, since it introduces a race condition between
check and action). We shouldn't support this until it's clearly
documented by POSIX or we can have it produce intuitive results.
Don't support AT_EACCESS for now. Implementing it is complicated, and
pretty much useless on Android, since we don't have setuid binaries.
See http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=0a05eace163cee9b08571d2ff9d90f5e82d9c228
for how an implementation might look.

Add a mechanism to prevent the adding of new turds, and use that
mechanism on the fchmod/fchmodat system calls.

Many libc functions have an option to not follow symbolic
links. This is useful to avoid security sensitive code
from inadvertantly following attacker supplied symlinks
and taking inappropriate action on files it shouldn't.
For example, open() has O_NOFOLLOW, chown() has
lchown(), stat() has lstat(), etc.
There is no such equivalent function for chmod(), such as lchmod().
To address this, POSIX introduced fchmodat(AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW),
which is intended to provide a way to perform a chmod operation
which doesn't follow symlinks.
Currently, the Linux kernel doesn't implement AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW.
In GLIBC, attempting to use the AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW flag causes
fchmodat to return ENOTSUP. Details are in "man fchmodat".
Bionic currently differs from GLIBC in that AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
is silently ignored and treated as if the flag wasn't present.
This patch provides a userspace implementation of
AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW for bionic. Using open(O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW),
we can provide a way to atomically change the permissions on
files without worrying about race conditions.
As part of this change, we add support for fchmod on O_PATH
file descriptors, because it's relatively straight forward
and could be useful in the future.
The basic idea behind this implementation comes from
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14578 , specifically
comment #10.

The kernel version of the stat structure is used during the syscalls. After the syscall,
the kernel stat structure is converted to match the generic one. Eventually we would like
the generic stat structure and related syscalls be added to MIPS64 kernel, removing the
thunks added to AOSP.

In practice, with this implementation we never need to make a system call.
We get the main thread's tid (which is the same as our pid) back from
the set_tid_address system call we have to make during initialization.
A new pthread will have the same pid as its parent, and a fork child's
main (and only) thread will have a pid equal to its tid, which we get for
free from the kernel before clone returns.
The only time we'd actually have to make a getpid system call now is if
we take a signal during fork and the signal handler calls getpid. (That,
or we call getpid in the dynamic linker while it's still dealing with its
own relocations and hasn't even set up the main thread yet.)

The problem with the original patch was that using syscall(3) means that
errno can be set, but pthread_create(3) was abusing the TLS errno slot as
a pthread_mutex_t for the thread startup handshake.
There was also a mistake in the check for syscall failures --- it should
have checked against -1 instead of 0 (not just because that's the default
idiom, but also here because futex(2) can legitimately return values > 0).
This patch stops abusing the TLS errno slot and adds a pthread_mutex_t to
pthread_internal_t instead. (Note that for LP64 sizeof(pthread_mutex_t) >
sizeof(uintptr_t), so we could potentially clobber other TLS slots too.)
I've also rewritten the LP32 compatibility stubs to directly reuse the
code from the .h file.
This reverts commit 75c55ff84e.

The situation here is a bit confusing. On 64-bit, rlimit and rlimit64 are
the same, and so getrlimit/getrlimit64, setrlimit/setrlimit64,
and prlimit/prlimit64 are all the same. On 32-bit, rlimit and rlimit64 are
different. 32-bit architectures other than MIPS go one step further by having
an even more limited getrlimit system call, so arm and x86 need to use
ugetrlimit instead of getrlimit. Worse, the 32-bit architectures don't have
64-bit getrlimit- and setrlimit-equivalent system calls, and you have to use
prlimit64 instead. There's no 32-bit prlimit system call, so there's no
easy implementation of that --- what should we do if the result of prlimit64
won't fit in a struct rlimit? Since 32-bit survived without prlimit/prlimit64
for this long, I'm not going to bother implementing prlimit for 32-bit.
We need the rlimit64 functions to be able to build strace 4.8 out of the box.

Since the ENTRY/END macros now have .cfi_startproc/.cfi_endproc, most of the
custom arm assembly has no unwind information. Adding the proper cfi directives
for these and removing the arm directives.
Update the gensyscalls.py script to add these cfi directives for the generated
assembly. Also fix the references to non-uapi headers to the proper uapi
header.
In addition, remove the kill.S, tkill.S, tgkill.S for arm since they are not
needed at all. The unwinder (libunwind) is able to properly unwind using the
normal abort.
After this change, I can unwind through the system calls again.

Let the kernel keep pthread_internal_t::tid updated, including
across forks and for the main thread. This then lets us fix
pthread_join to only return after the thread has really exited.
Also fix the thread attributes of the main thread so we don't
unmap the main thread's stack (which is really owned by the
dynamic linker and contains things like environment variables),
which fixes crashes when joining with an exited main thread
and also fixes problems reported publicly with accessing environment
variables after the main thread exits (for which I've added a new
unit test).
In passing I also fixed a bug where if the clone(2) inside
pthread_create(3) fails, we'd unmap the child's stack and TLS (which
contains the mutex) and then try to unlock the mutex. Boom! It wasn't
until after I'd uploaded the fix for this that I came across a new
public bug reporting this exact failure.

Some MIPS kernels do not correctly restart interrupted system calls that
have been invoked using the indirect syscall (NR_syscall).
The simplest workaround is to handle the indirection in userland and then
