// ELF shared object file updates handler.
//
// Provides functions to remove relative relocations from the .rel.dyn
// or .rela.dyn sections and pack into .android.rel.dyn or .android.rela.dyn,
// and unpack to return the file to its pre-packed state.
//
// Files to be packed or unpacked must include an existing .android.rel.dyn
// or android.rela.dyn section.  A standard libchrome.<version>.so will not
// contain this section, so the following can be used to add one:
//
//   echo -n 'NULL' >/tmp/small
//   if file libchrome.<version>.so | grep -q 'ELF 32'; then
//     arm-linux-androideabi-objcopy
//         --add-section .android.rel.dyn=/tmp/small
//         libchrome.<version>.so libchrome.<version>.so.packed
//   else
//     aarch64-linux-android-objcopy
//         --add-section .android.rela.dyn=/tmp/small
//         libchrome.<version>.so libchrome.<version>.so.packed
//   fi
//   rm /tmp/small
//
// To use, open the file and pass the file descriptor to the constructor,
// then pack or unpack as desired.  Packing or unpacking will flush the file
// descriptor on success.  Example:
//
//   int fd = open(..., O_RDWR);
//   ElfFile elf_file(fd);
//   bool status;
//   if (is_packing)
//     status = elf_file.PackRelocations();
//   else
//     status = elf_file.UnpackRelocations();
//   close(fd);
//
// SetPadding() causes PackRelocations() to pad .rel.dyn or .rela.dyn with
// NONE-type entries rather than cutting a hole out of the shared object
// file.  This keeps all load addresses and offsets constant, and enables
// easier debugging and testing.
//
// A packed shared object file has all of its relative relocations
// removed from .rel.dyn or .rela.dyn, and replaced as packed data in
// .android.rel.dyn or .android.rela.dyn respectively.  The resulting file
// is shorter than its non-packed original.
//
// Unpacking a packed file restores the file to its non-packed state, by
// expanding the packed data in .android.rel.dyn or .android.rela.dyn,
// combining the relative relocations with the data already in .rel.dyn
// or .rela.dyn, and then writing back the now expanded section.
