Due to GCC bug 110901 -mcpu can override -march setting when compiling
asm code and thus a compiler targetting a specific cpu can fail the
configure check even when binutils gas supports SVE.
The workaround is that explicit .arch directive overrides both -mcpu
and -march, and since that's what the actual SVE memcpy uses the
configure check should use that too even if the GCC issue is fixed
independently.

arm_sve.h depends on stdint.h but that relies on libc headers unless
compiled in freestanding mode. Without this change a bootstrap glibc
build (that uses a compiler without installed libc headers) failed with
checking for availability of SVE ACLE... In file included from [...]/arm_sve.h:28,
from conftest.c:1:

This patch enables libmvec on AArch64. The proposed change is mainly
implementing build infrastructure to add the new routines to ABI,
tests and benchmarks. I have demonstrated how this all fits together
by adding implementations for vector cos, in both single and double
precision, targeting both Advanced SIMD and SVE.
The implementations of the routines themselves are just loops over the
scalar routine from libm for now, as we are more concerned with
getting the plumbing right at this point. We plan to contribute vector
routines from the Arm Optimized Routines repo that are compliant with
requirements described in the libmvec wiki.
Building libmvec requires minimum GCC 10 for SVE ACLE. To avoid raising
the minimum GCC by such a big jump, we allow users to disable libmvec
if their compiler is too old.
Note that at this point users have to manually call the vector math
functions. This seems to be acceptable to some downstream users.

PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN indicates whether accesses to internal linkage
variables and hidden visibility variables in a shared object (ld.so)
need dynamic relocations (usually R_*_RELATIVE). PI (position
independent) in the macro name is a misnomer: a code sequence using GOT
is typically position-independent as well, but using dynamic relocations
does not meet the requirement.
Not defining PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN is legacy and we expect that all new
ports will define PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN. Current ports defining
PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN are more than the opposite. Change the configure
default.
No functional change.

Add SUPPORT_STATIC_PIE that targets can define if they support
static PIE. This requires PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN support and various
linker features as described in

Add --enable-static-pie configure option to build static PIE [BZ #19574]
Currently defined on x86_64, i386 and aarch64 where static PIE is

AArch64 always uses pc relative access to static and hidden object
symbols, but the config setting was previously missing.
This affects ld.so start up code.
This test fails without bug 26798 fixed because some integer registers
likely get clobbered by lazy binding and variant PCS only allows x16
and x17 to be clobbered at call time.
The test requires binutils 2.32.1 or newer for handling variant PCS
symbols. SVE registers are not covered by this test, to avoid the
complexity of handling multiple compile- and runtime feature support
cases.
Return address signing requires unwinder support, which is
present in libgcc since >=gcc-7, however due to bugs the
support may be broken in <gcc-10 (and similarly there may
be issues in custom unwinders), so pac-ret is not always
safe to use. So in assembly code glibc should only use
pac-ret if the compiler uses it too. Unfortunately there
is no predefined feature macro for it set by the compiler
so pac-ret is inferred from the code generation.

When glibc is built with branch protection (i.e. with a gcc configured
with --enable-standard-branch-protection), all glibc binaries should
be BTI compatible and marked as such.
It is easy to link BTI incompatible objects by accident and this is
silent currently which is usually not the expectation, so this is
changed into a link error. (There is no linker flag for failing on
BTI incompatible inputs so all warnings are turned into fatal errors
outside the test system when building glibc with branch protection.)
Unfortunately, outlined atomic functions are not BTI compatible in
libgcc (PR libgcc/96001), so to build glibc with current gcc use
'CC=gcc -mno-outline-atomics', this should be fixed in libgcc soon
and then glibc can be built and tested without such workarounds.

Check BTI support in the compiler and linker. The check also
requires READELF that understands the BTI GNU property note.
It is expected to succeed with gcc >=gcc-9 configured with
--enable-standard-branch-protection and binutils >=binutils-2.33.
Note: passing -mbranch-protection=bti in CFLAGS when building glibc
may not be enough to get a glibc that supports BTI because crtbegin*
and crtend* provided by the compiler needs to be BTI compatible too.

This patch moves the AArch64 port to the main sysdeps hierarchy. The
move is essentially:
git mv ports/sysdeps/aarch64 sysdeps/aarch64
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64
The README is updated and I've updated ChangeLog.aarch64 along the
lines of the ARM move. The AArch64 build has been tested to confirm
that there were no changes in objdump -dr output or the shared
objects.
