ee7649c5ac set errno to ENOENT in getauxval per glibc 2.19
Bionic's getauxval(...) implementation returns zero when entries are
missing. Zero can be a valid value, so there is no unambiguous way of
detecting an error. Since glibc 2.19, errno is set to ENOENT when an
entry is missing to make it possible to detect this. Bionic should match
this behavior as code in the Linux ecosystem will start relying on it to
check for the presence of newly added entries.

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.

42b2c6a5ee Clean up the argc/argv/envp/auxv handling.
There's now only one place where we deal with this stuff, it only needs to
be parsed once by the dynamic linker (rather than by each recipient), and it's
now easier for us to get hold of auxv data early on.

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.

This change is a prerequisite for bug 7959813.
