Make stack sanitization elide pointers to non-executable mappings.
The address space of every Android Java process is approximately 50%
mapped, which means that sanitization tends to be ineffective because
most string fragments are plausibly pointers into some mapping.
For example, the zygote on 32 bit devices has the following mappings
made by dalvik and this covers all 4 byte strings starting with a
character between 0x13 and 0x52 (which includes all uppercase characters
up to and including 'R').
12c00000-12d16000
12d16000-32c00000
32c00000-32c01000
32c01000-52c00000
In order to perform stack unwinding we only need pointers into the stack
of the thread in question, and pointers to executable mappings. If we
reduce the set of considered mappings to those mappings alone, then only
~2% of the address space is left unelided.
