In keeping with the pattern of mtd@partition, I have added loop@path as a way to specify a loopback device. This way you can do things like mount directories in /system using cramfs from a file otherwise on /system (just one example oof how I'm using it). I specifically went with loop@ rather than adding this feature as a flag as the flags system is designed to set bits in the flags argument to mount: using loop@ fit the model in a much simpler manner and actually feels "correct". This is a better version of the previously submitted 4045 that also refactors the mtd@ case. The reason for this is that I received comments that I should check for errors and return errors rather that do work in the case of success and fall through, but the mtd@ case wasn't doing that either and it became awkward to design the function so that it was half in one style of error handling and half in another. I also made certain to use inequality comparisons for Unix's -1 error returns rather than checking for -1, refactored my large if statement so as not to have danling parentheses, and disassocited the loop device on mount failure. |

The system/ directory is intended for pieces of the world that are the core of the embedded linux platform at the heart of Android. These essential bits are required for basic booting, operation, and debugging. They should not depend on libraries outside of system/... (some of them do currently -- they need to be updated or changed) and they should not be required for the simulator build. The license for all these pieces should be clean (Apache2, BSD, or MIT). Currently system/bluetooth/... and system/extra/... have some pieces with GPL/LGPL licensed code. Assorted Issues: - pppd depends on libutils for logging - pppd depends on libcrypt/libcrypto - init, linker, debuggerd, toolbox, usbd depend on libcutils - should probably rename bionic to libc
