David Benjamin def85b403d Revise OPENSSL_ia32cap_P strategy to avoid TEXTRELs.
OPENSSL_ia32cap_addr avoids any relocations within the module, at the
cost of a runtime TEXTREL, which causes problems in some cases.
(Notably, if someone links us into a binary which uses the GCC "ifunc"
attribute, the loader crashes.)

We add a OPENSSL_ia32cap_addr_delta symbol (which is reachable
relocation-free from the module) stores the difference between
OPENSSL_ia32cap_P and its own address.  Next, reference
OPENSSL_ia32cap_P in code as usual, but always doing LEAQ (or the
equivalent GOTPCREL MOVQ) into a register first. This pattern we can
then transform into a LEAQ and ADDQ on OPENSSL_ia32cap_addr_delta.

ADDQ modifies the FLAGS register, so this is only a safe transformation
if we safe and restore flags first. That, in turn, is only a safe
transformation if code always uses %rsp as a stack pointer (specifically
everything below the stack must be fair game for scribbling over). Linux
delivers signals on %rsp, so this should already be an ABI requirement.
Further, we must clear the red zone (using LEAQ to avoid touching FLAGS)
which signal handlers may not scribble over.

This also fixes the GOTTPOFF logic to clear the red zone.

BoringSSL

BoringSSL is a fork of OpenSSL that is designed to meet Google's needs.

Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use, as OpenSSL is. We don't recommend that third parties depend upon it. Doing so is likely to be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability.

Programs ship their own copies of BoringSSL when they use it and we update everything as needed when deciding to make API changes. This allows us to mostly avoid compromises in the name of compatibility. It works for us, but it may not work for you.

BoringSSL arose because Google used OpenSSL for many years in various ways and, over time, built up a large number of patches that were maintained while tracking upstream OpenSSL. As Google's product portfolio became more complex, more copies of OpenSSL sprung up and the effort involved in maintaining all these patches in multiple places was growing steadily.

Currently BoringSSL is the SSL library in Chrome/Chromium, Android (but it's not part of the NDK) and a number of other apps/programs.
