Passing a second argument to the ifunc resolver allows accessing
AT_HWCAP2 values from the resolver. AArch64 will start using AT_HWCAP2
on linux because for ilp32 to remain compatible with lp64 ABI no more
than 32bit hwcap flags can be in AT_HWCAP which is already used up.
Currently the relocation ordering logic does not guarantee that ifunc
resolvers can call libc apis or access libc objects, so only the
resolver arguments and runtime environment dependent instructions can
be used to do the dispatch (this affects ifunc resolvers outside of
the libc).
Since ifunc resolver is target specific and only supposed to be
called by the dynamic linker, the call ABI can be changed in a
backward compatible way:
Old call ABI passed hwcap as uint64_t, new abi sets the
_IFUNC_ARG_HWCAP flag in the hwcap and passes a second argument
that's a pointer to an extendible struct. A resolver has to check
the _IFUNC_ARG_HWCAP flag before accessing the second argument.
The new sys/ifunc.h installed header has the definitions for the
new ABI, everything is in the implementation reserved namespace.
An alternative approach is to try to support extern calls from ifunc
resolvers such as getauxval, but that seems non-trivial

With commit f0b2132b35 ("ld.so:
Support moving versioned symbols between sonames [BZ #24741]"), the
dynamic linker will find the definition of vfork in libc and binds
a vfork reference to that symbol, even if the soname in the version
reference says that the symbol should be located in libpthread.
As a result, the forwarder (whether it's IFUNC-based or a duplicate
of the libc implementation) is no longer necessary.
On older architectures, a placeholder symbol is required, to make sure
that the GLIBC_2.1.2 symbol version does not go away, or is turned in
to a weak symbol definition by the link editor. (The symbol version
needs to preserved so that the symbol coverage check in
elf/dl-version.c does not fail for old binaries.)
mips32 is an outlier: It defined __vfork@@GLIBC_2.2, but the
baseline is GLIBC_2.0. Since there are other @@GLIBC_2.2 symbols,
the placeholder symbol is not needed there.
memusagestat may indirectly link against libpthread. The built
libpthread should be used, but that is only possible if it has been
built before the malloc programs.
This patch fixes the gcc warnings seen with gcc 9 -march>=z13 on s390x:

In this case send_vc is inlined into __res_context_send
and the maybe uninitialized resplen belongs to the one in send_vc.
In send_vc there is already a DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT (5, "-Wmaybe-uninitialized")

Note that resplen is used as return value.
This patch adds a further DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT around the declaration of n

This change should be fully backwards-compatible because the old
code aborted the load if a soname mismatch was encountered
(instead of searching further for a matching symbol). This means
that no different symbols are found.
The soname check was explicitly disabled for the skip_map != NULL
case. However, this only happens with dl(v)sym and RTLD_NEXT,
and those lookups do not come with a verneed entry that could be used
for the check.
The error check was already explicitly disabled for the skip_map !=
NULL case, that is, when dl(v)sym was called with RTLD_NEXT. But
_dl_vsym always sets filename in the struct r_found_version argument
to NULL, so the check was not active anyway. This means that
symbol lookup results for the skip_map != NULL case do not change,
either.
The kernel is evolving this interface (e.g., removal of the
restriction on cross-device copies), and keeping up with that
is difficult. Applications which need the function should
run kernels which support the system call instead of relying on
the imperfect glibc emulation.

On powerpc64le, long double can currently take two formats: the same as
double (-mlong-double-64) or IBM Extended Precision (default with
-mlong-double-128 or explicitly with -mabi=ibmlongdouble). The internal
implementation of printf-like functions is aware of these possibilities
and properly parses floating-point values from the variable arguments,
before making calls to __printf_fp and __printf_fphex. These functions
are also aware of the format possibilities and know how to convert both
formats to string.
When library support for TS 18661-3 was added to glibc, __printf_fp and
__printf_fphex were extended with support for an additional type
(__float128/_Float128) with a different format (binary128). Now that
powerpc64le is getting support for its third long double format, and
taking into account that this format is the same as the format of
__float128/_Float128, this patch extends __vfprintf_internal to properly
call __printf_fp and __printf_fphex with this new format.
Tested for powerpc64le (with additional patches to actually enable the
use of these preparations) and for x86_64.

GCC versions before 3.0 treat the nested anonymous union as a
