Old Linux kernels disable SVE after every system call. Calling the
SVE-optimized memcpy afterwards will then cause a trap to reenable SVE.
As a result, applications with a high use of syscalls may run slower with
the SVE memcpy. This is true for kernels between 4.15.0 and before 6.2.0,
except for 5.14.0 which was patched. Avoid this by checking the kernel
version and selecting the SVE ifunc on modern kernels.
Parse the kernel version reported by uname() into a 24-bit kernel.major.minor
value without calling any library functions. If uname() is not supported or
if the version format is not recognized, assume the kernel is modern.

ARM _dl_tlsdesc_dynamic slow path has two issues:
* The ip/r12 is defined by AAPCS as a scratch register, and gcc is
used to save the stack pointer before on some function calls. So it
should also be saved/restored as well. It fixes the tst-gnu2-tls2.
* None of the possible VFP registers are saved/restored. ARM has the
additional complexity to have different VFP bank sizes (depending of
VFP support by the chip).
The tst-gnu2-tls2 test is extended to check for VFP registers, although
only for hardfp builds. Different than setcontext, _dl_tlsdesc_dynamic
does not have HWCAP_ARM_IWMMXT (I don't have a way to properly test
it and it is almost a decade since newer hardware was released).

_dl_tlsdesc_dynamic preserves RDI, RSI and RBX before realigning stack.

Due to GCC bug 110901 -mcpu can override -march setting when compiling

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

The memcpy optimization (commit 587a1290a1) has a series
of mistakes:
- The implementation is wrong: the chunk size calculation is wrong
leading to invalid memory access.
- It adds ifunc supports as default, so --disable-multi-arch does
not work as expected for riscv.
- It mixes Linux files (memcpy ifunc selection which requires the
vDSO/syscall mechanism) with generic support (the memcpy
optimization itself).
- There is no __libc_ifunc_impl_list, which makes testing only
check the selected implementation instead of all supported
by the system.
This patch also simplifies the required bits to enable ifunc: there
is no need to memcopy.h; nor to add Linux-specific files.
The __memcpy_noalignment tail handling now uses a branchless strategy

RISC-V is apparently the first architecture to pass more than one
argument to ifunc resolvers. The helper macros in libc-symbols.h,
__ifunc_resolver(), __ifunc(), and __ifunc_hidden(), are incompatible
with this. These macros have an "arg" (non-final) parameter that
represents the parameter signature of the ifunc resolver. The result is
an inability to pass the required comma through in a single preprocessor
argument.
Rearrange the __ifunc_resolver() macro to be variadic, and pass the
types as those variable parameters. Move the guts of __ifunc() and
__ifunc_hidden() into new macros, __ifunc_args(), and
__ifunc_args_hidden(), that pass the variable arguments down through to
__ifunc_resolver(). Then redefine __ifunc() and __ifunc_hidden(), which
are used in a bunch of places, to simply shuffle the arguments down into
__ifunc_args[_hidden]. Finally, define a riscv-ifunc.h header, which
provides convenience macros to those looking to write ifunc selectors
that use both arguments.

The new __riscv_hwprobe() function is designed to be used by ifunc

libraries, as ifunc selectors are invoked before all relocations have
been performed, so an external call to __riscv_hwprobe() from an ifunc
selector won't work. To address this, pass a pointer to the
__riscv_hwprobe() function into ifunc selectors as the second
argument (alongside dl_hwcap, which was already being passed).
Include a typedef as well for convenience, so that ifunc users don't
have to go through contortions to call this routine. Users will need to
remember to check the second argument for NULL, to account for older

However, on powerpc64le-linux-gnu, the C variadic function
implementation requires extra work in the caller to set up the
parameter save area. Calling a function that needs a parameter save
area without one (because the prototype used indicates the function is
not variadic) corrupts the caller's stack. The Linux manual pages
project documents prctl as a non-variadic function. This has resulted
in various projects over the years using non-variadic prototypes,
including the sanitizer libraries in LLVm and GCC (GCC PR 113728).
This commit switches back to the assembler implementation on most
