DELOUSE was added to asm code to make them compatible with non-LP64
ABIs, but it is an unfortunate name and the code was not compatible
with ABIs where pointer and size_t are different. Glibc currently
only supports the LP64 ABI so these macros are not really needed or
tested, but for now the name is changed to be more meaningful instead
of removing them completely.
Some DELOUSE macros were dropped: clone, strlen and strnlen used it
unnecessarily.
The out of tree ILP32 patches are currently not maintained and will
likely need a rework to rebase them on top of the time64 changes.
Add support for MTE to memrchr. Regression tested with xcheck and benchmarked
with glibc's benchtests on the Cortex-A53, Cortex-A72, and Neoverse N1.
The existing implementation assumes that any access to the pages in which the
string resides is safe. This assumption is not true when MTE is enabled. This
patch updates the algorithm to ensure that accesses remain within the bounds
of an MTE tag (16-byte chunks) and improves overall performance.

Considering the excellent performance of memchr.S on glibc 2.30, the
same algorithm is used to find chrin. Compared to memrchr.c, this
method with memrchr.S achieves an average performance improvement
of 58% based on benchtest and its extension cases.
Checked on aarch64-linux-gnu.
