When parsing ld.config.txt, paths in *.search.paths properties are
resolved using resolved_paths(). This is causing a number of newfstatat
system calls during a process start-up and is contributing about 3.6%
of the entire linker initialization time.
Optimize the overhead by not resolving already resolved paths; resolved
paths are cached.
Bug: 132348336
Test: strace -C -e newfstatat ls shows the number of the syscalls is
reduced from 131 to 99
Test: simpleperf record --call-graph fp -f 10000000 -o /data/perf.data ls
simpleperf report -g -i /data/perf.data
shows percentage of get_paths() from 2.9% to 2.5%

Change three things regarding the work around to the fact that init is
special:
1) Only first stage init is special, so we change the check to include
accessing /proc/self/exe, which if is available, means that we're
not first stage init and do not need any work arounds.
2) Fix the fact that /init may be a symlink and may need readlink()
3) Suppress errors from realpath_fd() since these are expected to fail
due to /proc not being mounted.

Test: sailfish boots without the audit generated from calling stat()
on /init and without the errors from realpath_fd()

init is now built as a dynamic executable, so the dynamic linker has to
be able to run in the init process. However, since init is launched so
early, even /dev/* and /proc/* file systems are not mounted and thus
some APIs that rely on the paths do not work. The dynamic linker now
goes alternative path when it is running in the init process.
For example, /proc/self/exe is not read for the init since we always now
the path of the init (/init). Also, arc4random* APIs are not used since
the APIs rely on /dev/urandom. Linker now does not randomize library
loading order and addresses when running in the init process.

This change allows customization of default namespace
configuration for different executables. It also enables
target_sdk_version setup for binaries (note that this
option should explicitly be enabled in ld.config.txt).

Historically we had part of the linker licensed under BSD and
another part under Apache 2 license. This commit makes all the
linker code licensed under BSD license.

Move soinfo and globals out of linker.cpp to
separate files.
Breaking up huge linker.cpp into smaller peaces
in order to make it easier to extract part of the
code that belongs to libdl.so and remove parts of
the code that do not belong to linker
(refactoring part 2 of many)

The permitted_when_isolated_path is a way to white-list
directories not present in search-path. It is ignored for
not isolated namespaces.

from apks.
