5a66490e3b Use shared globals so getauxval works earlier
Make getauxval() work in .preinit_array. It still won't be usable for
ifuncs unless we can guarantee that the __loader_shared_globals relocation
is resolved before the ifunc calls [__bionic_]getauxval.

Define __bionic_getauxval for use in replacing calls to
KernelArgumentBlock::getauxval, which doesn't (and sometimes isn't allowed
to) access TLS variables like errno.

9cfca866ce Split main thread init into early+late functions
Split __libc_init_main_thread into __libc_init_main_thread_early and
__libc_init_main_thread_late. The early function is called very early in
the startup of the dynamic linker and static executables. It initializes
the global auxv pointer and enough TLS memory to do system calls, access
errno, and run -fstack-protector code (but with a zero cookie because the
code for generating a cookie is complex).

After the linker is relocated, __libc_init_main_thread_late finishes
thread initialization.

Bug: none

0266ae5f88 Switch <elf.h> over to linux uapi under the covers.
Remove the linker's reliance on BSD cruft and use the glibc-style
ElfW macro. (Other code too, but the linker contains the majority
of the code that needs to work for Elf32 and Elf64.)

All platforms need dl_iterate_phdr_static, so it doesn't make sense
to have that part of the per-architecture configuration.

36fa67bcdd Ensure header files using __BEGIN_DECLS include sys/cdefs.h.
We keep fixing these one-by-one; let's fix them all at once.

Found thus:

  find . -name *.h | xargs grep -L sys/cdefs.h | xargs grep -l BEGIN_DECL | xargs grep -L sys/types

abc21c8056 bionic_auxv.h: fix #define conflict
Both libc/include/sys/auxv.h and libc/private/bionic_auxv.h
use _SYS_AUXV_H_ to see if a header file has already been included.
This prevents both of these files from being included at the same
time.

Fix this name conflict.

2c5153b043 libc: add getauxval()
Add support for getauxval().  This method allows a program an easy way
to retrieve information from the kernel auxiliary vector, and will
hopefully replace other clumsy ways of accessing this same information.

This particular function was also added to glibc in glibc 2.16.
See the following URLs for more details.

  * http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Auxiliary-Vector.html

This change is a prerequisite for bug 7959813.
