Kirill Smelkov efd9d92b7c lib/bcheck: Don't assume heap goes right after bss
At startup __bound_init() wants to mark malloc zone as invalid memory,
so that any access to memory on heap, not allocated through malloc be
invalid. Other pages are initialized as empty regions, access to which
is not treated as invalid by bounds-checking.

The problem is code incorrectly assumed that heap goes right after bss,
and that is not correct for two cases:

    1) if we are running from `tcc -b -run`, program text data and bss
       will be already in malloced memory, possibly in mmaped region
       insead of heap, and marking memory as invalid from _end
       will not cover heap and probably wrongly mark correct regions.

    2) if address space randomization is turned on, again heap does not
       start from _end, and we'll mark as invalid something else instead
       of malloc area.

For example with the following diagnostic patch ...

The second mark_invalid goes right after in-memory-compiled program's
_end, and oops, that's not where malloc zone is (starts from brk), and oops
again, mark_invalid covers e.g. errno. Then compiled tcc is crasshing by
bcheck on errno access:

    1776 static void parse_number(const char *p)
    1777 {
    1778     int b, t, shift, frac_bits, s, exp_val, ch;
         ...
    1951             *q = '\0';
    1952             t = toup(ch);
    1953             errno = 0;

The solution here is to use sbrk(0) as approximation for the program
break start instead of &_end:

    - if we are a separately compiled program, __bound_init() runs early,
      and sbrk(0) should be equal or very near to start_brk (in case other
      constructors malloc something), or

    - if we are running from under `tcc -b -run`, sbrk(0) will return
      start of heap portion which is under this program control, and not
      mark as invalid earlier allocated memory.

With this patch `tcc -b -run tcc.c ...` succeeds compiling above
small-test program (diagnostic patch is still applied too):

    $ ./tcc -B. -b -DTCC_TARGET_I386 -DCONFIG_MULTIARCHDIR=\"i386-linux-gnu\"  -run   \
        -DONE_SOURCE ./tcc.c -B. -c x.c

    >>> TCC

    etext:   0x8065477
    edata:   0x8070220
    end:     0x807a95c
    brk:     0x807b000
    stack:  0xaffff0f0
    &errno: 0xa7e25688

    tcc_run() ...

    mark_invalid  0xfff80000 -      (nil)
    mark_invalid   0x8211000 - 0x10211000

    >>> TCC

    etext:  0xa7c22777
    edata:  0xa7c275ac
    end:    0xa7c31da8
    brk:     0x8211000
    stack:  0xafffeff0
    &errno: 0xa7e25688

    (completes ok)

but running `tcc -b -run tcc.c -run tests/tcctest.c` sigsegv's - that's
the plot for the next patch.
