Tess Strickland b0c4ddf919 [pkg/dart2native] Avoid overwriting section contents in MachO files.
To create a Dart standalone executable on MacOS, we modify the
dartaotruntime executable to add the snapshot contents, and the
VM looks into the executable on disk to find the snapshot to load.

Previously, we did this by adding a new 64-bit segment load command
with a single section, where the section's file offset and size
describes the inserted snapshot. This meant the Mach-O header size increased by 152 bytes.

Originally, this wasn't an issue as there was plenty of padding, but
later clang updates removed most of this padding, and so writing the
new header actually overwrote the initial contents of the first section
in the file, which happens to be the __text section. In addition, since
the first section's offset was now declared to be within the header,
utilities that strictly validated the Mach-O format, like codesign,
would report errors.

This CL changes it so that we actually reserve space in the
dartaotruntime header using the -add_empty_section flag to the linker.
In addition, we change from using a segment load command to using a
(40 byte) note load command. This is because a segment load command
specifies that the contents should be loaded in memory, but we don't
use that loaded version. Instead, the VM reloads it from the executable
on disk so it can appropriately mmap the different parts of the
snapshot. A note section instead just declares a section of the
executable as arbitrary data that the owner can read from the file
and use as desired, which is semantically closer to our current usage.

This CL also adds a test to pkg/dartdev/test/commands/compile_test to
ensure that corrupting a random part of the snapshot in the executable
causes signature verification to fail.

This CL also reverts CL 256208, thus relanding the clang changes
starting from June that originally raised awareness of the issue by
greatly reduced the amount of padding after the load commands.

Dart

A client-optimized language for fast apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Optimized for UI: Develop with a programming language specialized around the needs of user interface creation.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app.

  • Fast on all platforms: Compile to ARM & x64 machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Or compile to JavaScript for the web.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
