[scudo] getauxval alternative for Android
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

getauxval was introduced with API level 18. In order to get things to work
at lower API levels (for the toolchain itself which is built at 14 for 32-bit),
we introduce an alternative implementation reading directly from
/proc/self/auxv.

Since you are emulating getauxval anyway, wouldn't it be more logical to do just that, define getauxval up there:

// getauxval() was introduced with API level 18 on Android.
# if SANITIZER_ANDROID && __ANDROID_API__ < 18
#  include <fcntl.h>
uptr getauxval(uptr type) {
   ...
}
# else
#  include <sys/auxv.h>
# endif

and then just use it?

uptr HWCap = getauxval(AT_HWCAP);

If you agree with redefining getauxval, it should be moved next to the function definition too.

Redefining getauxval instead of introducing a third party middleman as
suggested by @alekseyshl.

It should never be defined here, right? So, we can drop #ifndef.

True, I was being more conservative than probably needed!

Drop the #ifndef AT_HWCAP as it shouldn't be definedi there. If it is,
something is probably wrong somewhere.
