I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
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

* sysdeps/aarch64/Makefile: Install sys/ifunc.h and add tests.
* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-irel.h (elf_ifunc_invoke): Update to new ABI.
* sysdeps/aarch64/sys/ifunc.h: New file.
* sysdeps/aarch64/tst-ifunc-arg-1.c: New file.
* sysdeps/aarch64/tst-ifunc-arg-2.c: New file.
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.
