setcontext etc is no longer tied to the kernel use of ucontext.
in that patch the ucontext reserved space is not used consistently
with the kernel abi: the d8,d9 pair is saved in the slot of q8.
this is ok (*context functions work together), but probably not
desirable (ucontexts created by the kernel and getcontext are
subtly different).
the fix just replaces dN with qN in the save/restore code, which
does a bit more than needed (saves/restores the top half of qN that
is not callee saved), but this should not be an issue (and avoids
having to deal with endianness).
(kernel fpsimd context layout: the first 64bit contains 0x210 the fpsimd
context size and 0x46508001 the FPSIMD_MAGIC, the second 64bit is for
fpsr and fpcr, and the rest is the 128bit q0..q31 registers).
given d8=8.1, d9=9.1,... d15=15.1, the context created by getcontext is
current:

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.
