The Linux kernel provides an AT_SECURE auxv flag to inform userspace
whether or not a security transition has occurred. This is more reliable
than directly checking the uid/gid against the euid/egid, because it covers
not only setuid/setgid but also file capabilities, SELinux, and AppArmor
security transitions. It is also a more efficient test since it does
not require any additional system calls.

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

There are three changes of note - most urgently, Cuba (America/Havana)
has extended summer time by two weeks, now to end on Nov 13, rather than
the (already past) Oct 30. Second, the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic
(Europe/Tiraspol) decided not to split from the rest of Moldova after
all, and consequently that zone has been removed (again) and reinstated
in the "backward" file as a link to Europe/Chisinau. And third, the
end date for Fiji's summer time this summer was moved forward from the
earlier planned Feb 26, to Jan 22.
Apart from that, Moldova (MD) returns to a single entry in zone.tab
(and the incorrect syntax that was in the 2011m version of that file
is so fixed - it would have been fixed in a different way had this
change not happened - that's the "missing" sccs version id).

When looping over the current list of sockets we are connected to,
use getpeername() not getsockname() to find out who the remote
end is. This change avoids spurious close() and (rare) failure.

The function bcopy() is marked as LEGACY in POSIX.1-2001 and removed in
POSIX.1-2008. memcpy (POSIX.1-2001) is its recommended replacement.

TCP isn't supported on some dns servers, which makes the old code
hang forever.
NOT adding a stopship to remove debugging stuff - it was too painful
(14s timeout on failed tcp dns lookups) so we decided not to bother people.

Issue:
The kernel will pad the entry->d_reclen in a getdents64 call to a
long-word boundary. For very long records, this could exceed the
size of a struct dirent. The mismatch in the size was causing error
paranoid checking code in bionic to fail... thus causing an early
"end" when reading the dirent structures from the kernel buffer.
Test:
ls
mkdir abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstu
ls

When forking of a new process in bionic, it is critical that it
does not allocate any memory according to the comment in
java_lang_ProcessManager.c:
"Note: We cannot malloc() or free() after this point!
A no-longer-running thread may be holding on to the heap lock, and
an attempt to malloc() or free() would result in deadlock."
However, as fork is using standard lib calls when tracing it a bit,
they might allocate memory, and thus causing the deadlock.
This is a rewrite so that the function cpuacct_add, that fork calls,
will use system calls instead of standard lib calls.

(1) in pthread_create:
If the one signal is received before esp is subtracted by 16 and
__thread_entry( ) is called, the stack will be cleared by kernel
when it tries to contruct the signal stack frame. That will cause
that __thread_entry will get a wrong tls pointer from the stack
which leads to the segment fault when trying to access tls content.
(2) in pthread_exit
After pthread_exit called system call unmap(), its stack will be
freed. If one signal is received at that time, there is no stack
available for it.
Fixed by subtracting the child's esp by 16 before the clone system
call and by blocking signal handling before pthread_exit is started.
