dynamic linker is running for init
init is now built as a dynamic executable, so the dynamic linker has to be able to run in the init process. However, since init is launched so early, even /dev/* and /proc/* file systems are not mounted and thus some APIs that rely on the paths do not work. The dynamic linker now goes alternative path when it is running in the init process. For example, /proc/self/exe is not read for the init since we always now the path of the init (/init). Also, arc4random* APIs are not used since the APIs rely on /dev/urandom. Linker now does not randomize library loading order and addresses when running in the init process.
