ELFv2 functions with localentry:0 are those with a single entry point,
ie. global entry == local entry, that have no requirement on r2 or
r12 and guarantee r2 is unchanged on return. Such an external
function can be called via the PLT without saving r2 or restoring it
on return, avoiding a common load-hit-store for small functions.
This patch implements the ld.so changes necessary for this
optimization. ld.so needs to check that an optimized plt call
sequence is in fact calling a function implemented with localentry:0,
end emit a fatal error otherwise.
The elf/testobj6.c change is to stop "error while loading shared
libraries: expected localentry:0 `preload'" when running
elf/preloadtest, which we'd get otherwise.

Some types of relocations technically need to be signed rather than
unsigned: in particular ones that are used with moveli or movei,
or for jump and branch. This is almost never a problem. Jump and
branch opcodes are pretty much uniformly resolved by the static linker
(unless you omit -fpic for a shared library, which is not recommended).
The moveli and movei opcodes that need to be sign-extended generally
are for positive displacements, like the construction of the address of
main() from _start(). However, tst-pie1 ends up with main below _start
(in a different module) and the test failed due to signedness issues in
relocation handling.
This commit treats the value as signed when shifting (to preserve the
high bit) and also sign-extends the value generated from the updated
bundle when comparing with the desired bundle, which we do to make sure
no overflow occurred. As a result, the tst-pie1 test now passes.
This patch defines ELF_MACHINE_NO_RELA on all architectures. Tested
only on x86_64 to verify that the sources before and after are
identical except for two instructions that pass the current line
number in dl-machine.h to assert_fail.
I've moved the TILE-Gx and TILEPro ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy,
along with the linux-generic ports infrastructure. Beyond the README
update, the move was just
git mv ports/sysdeps/tile sysdeps/tile
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile \
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/tile
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic \
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic
I updated the relevant ChangeLogs along the lines of the ARM move
in commit c6bfe5c4d7 and tested the 64-bit tilegx build to confirm that
there were no changes in "objdump -dr" output in the shared objects.
