The x86_64 build was failing because clone.S had a call to __thread_entry which
was being added to a different intermediate .a on the way to making libc.so,
and the linker couldn't guarantee statically that such a relocation would be
possible.
ld: error: out/target/product/generic_x86_64/obj/STATIC_LIBRARIES/libc_common_intermediates/libc_common.a(clone.o): requires dynamic R_X86_64_PC32 reloc against '__thread_entry' which may overflow at runtime; recompile with -fPIC
This patch addresses that by ensuring that the caller and callee end up in the
same intermediate .a. While I'm here, I've tried to clean up some of the mess
that led to this situation too. In particular, this removes libc/private/ from
the default include path (except for the DNS code), and splits out the DNS
code into its own library (since it's a weird special case of upstream NetBSD
code that's diverged so heavily it's unlikely ever to get back in sync).
There's more cleanup of the DNS situation possible, but this is definitely a
step in the right direction, and it's more than enough to get x86_64 building
cleanly.

FORTIFY_SOURCE prevents buffer overflows from occurring.
However, the error message often implies that we only
detect it, not prevent it.
Bring more clarity to the error messages by emphasizing
prevention over detection.

This change creates assembler versions of __memcpy_chk/__memset_chk
that is implemented in the memcpy/memset assembler code. This change
avoids an extra call to memcpy/memset, instead allowing a simple fall
through to occur from the chk code into the body of the real
implementation.
Testing:
- Ran the libc_test on __memcpy_chk/__memset_chk on all nexus devices.
- Wrote a small test executable that has three calls to __memcpy_chk and
three calls to __memset_chk. First call dest_len is length + 1. Second
call dest_len is length. Third call dest_len is length - 1.
Verified that the first two calls pass, and the third fails. Examined
the logcat output on all nexus devices to verify that the fortify
error message was sent properly.
- I benchmarked the new __memcpy_chk and __memset_chk on all systems. For
__memcpy_chk and large copies, the savings is relatively small (about 1%).
For small copies, the savings is large on cortex-a15/krait devices
(between 5% to 30%).
For cortex-a9 and small copies, the speed up is present, but relatively
small (about 3% to 5%).
For __memset_chk and large copies, the savings is also small (about 1%).
However, all processors show larger speed-ups on small copies (about 30% to
100%).
