[ Upstream commit d6b732666a1bae0df3c3ae06925043bba34502b1 ]

The return value of is_arm_mapping_symbol() is unpredictable when "$"
is passed in.

strchr(3) says:
The strchr() and strrchr() functions return a pointer to the matched
character or NULL if the character is not found. The terminating null
byte is considered part of the string, so that if c is specified as
'\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator.

When str[1] is '\0', strchr("axtd", str[1]) is not NULL, and str[2] is
referenced (i.e. buffer overrun).

Test code
---------

char str1[] = "abc";
char str2[] = "ab";

strcpy(str1, "$");
strcpy(str2, "$");

printf("test1: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str1));
printf("test2: %d\n", is_arm_mapping_symbol(str2));

Result
------

test1: 0
test2: 1
