 * This file works around an incompatibility between Visual Studio 2013's
 * C Runtime DLL and Windows XP Service Pack 2.
 *
 * On XP SP2, msvcr120.dll fails to load, because it has a load-time dependency
 * on a kernel32 export named GetLogicalProcessorInformation, which is only
 * available in XP SP3 and newer. Microsoft has declared this to be by design.
 * See: https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/811379/
 *
 * The CRT calls GetLogicalProcessorInformation only from the concurrency
 * runtime, which our code does not use. A potential workaround is to 
 * static-link the CRT into all of our binaries and let the linker drop the
 * unused API calls. We don't want to take that approach, due to concerns
 * about binary bloat and jemalloc integration.
 *
 * Instead we hook the Windows loader and patch out the missing import.
 * We intercept ntdll!RtlImageNtHeader, which is a helper API called during
 * the DLL loading process. We walk the PE image and redirect the
 * GetLogicalProcessorInformation import to something benign like DebugBreak,
 * before the loader populates msvcr120.dll's import table.
 *
 * This is a fragile hack that only works if we can set up the hook before
 * Windows tries to load msvcr120.dll. This means that all .exe files:
 *  1) must static-link the CRT
 *  2) must delay-load anything with ties to msvcr120.dll (e.g. mozglue.dll)
 *  3) must not call malloc, because the linker would substitute our mozglue
 *     replacements, which leads to the CRT loading mozglue before main.
 * The remainder of our binaries can continue to dynamic-link the CRT.
 * Assertions enforce that our hooks are installed before msvcr120.dll.
