Linux kernel v5.9 added support for system calls using the scv
instruction for POWER9 and later. The new codepath provides better
performance (see below) if compared to using sc. For the
foreseeable future, both sc and scv mechanisms will co-exist, so this
patch enables glibc to do a runtime check and use scv when it is
available.
Before issuing the system call to the kernel, we check hwcap2 in the TCB
for PPC_FEATURE2_SCV to see if scv is supported by the kernel. If not,
we fallback to sc and keep the old behavior.
The kernel implements a different error return convention for scv, so
when returning from a system call we need to handle the return value
differently depending on the instruction we used to enter the kernel.
For syscalls implemented in ASM, entry and exit are implemented by
different macros (PSEUDO and PSEUDO_RET, resp.), which may be used in
sequence (e.g. for templated syscalls) or with other instructions in
between (e.g. clone). To avoid accessing the TCB a second time on
PSEUDO_RET to check which instruction we used, the value read from
hwcap2 is cached on a non-volatile register.
This is not needed when using INTERNAL_SYSCALL macro, since entry and
exit are bundled into the same inline asm directive.
The dynamic loader may issue syscalls before the TCB has been setup
so it always uses sc with no extra checks. For the static case, there
is no compile-time way to determine if we are inside startup code,
so we also check the value of the thread pointer before effectively
accessing the TCB. For such situations in which the availability of
scv cannot be determined, sc is always used.
Support for scv in syscalls implemented in their own ASM file (clone and
vfork) will be added later. For now simply use sc as before.
Average performance over 1M calls for each syscall "type":
- stat: C wrapper calling INTERNAL_SYSCALL
- getpid: templated ASM syscall
- syscall: call to gettid using syscall function
Standard:
stat : 1.573445 us / ~3619 cycles
getpid : 0.164986 us / ~379 cycles
syscall : 0.162743 us / ~374 cycles
With scv:
stat : 1.537049 us / ~3535 cycles <~ -84 cycles / -2.32%
getpid : 0.109923 us / ~253 cycles <~ -126 cycles / -33.25%
syscall : 0.116410 us / ~268 cycles <~ -106 cycles / -28.34%
Tested on powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le (with and without scv)

Programatically generate simple wrappers for interesting libm *f128
objects. Selected functions are transcendental functions or
those with trivial compiler builtins. This can result in a 2-3x
speedup (e.g logf128 and expf128).
A second set of implementation files are generated which include
the first implementation encountered along the search path. This
usually works, except when a wrapper is overriden and makefile
search order slightly diverges from include order. Likewise,
wrapper object files are created for each generated file. These
hold the ifunc selection routines which export ABI.
Next, several shared headers are intercepted to control renaming of
asm function redirects are used first, and sometimes macro renames
if the former is impractical.
Notably, if the request machine supports hardware IEEE128 (i.e POWER9
and newer) this ifunc machinery is disabled. Likewise existing
ifunc support for float128 is consolidated into this (e.g sqrtf128
and fmaf128).

There are several compiler implementations that allow large stack
allocations to jump over the guard page at the end of the stack and
corrupt memory beyond that. See CVE-2017-1000364.
Compilers can emit code to probe the stack such that the guard page
cannot be skipped, but on aarch64 the probe interval is 64K by default
instead of the minimum supported page size (4K).
This patch enforces at least 64K guard on aarch64 unless the guard
is disabled by setting its size to 0. For backward compatibility
reasons the increased guard is not reported, so it is only observable
by exhausting the address space or parsing /proc/self/maps on linux.
On other targets the patch has no effect. If the stack probe interval
is larger than a page size on a target then ARCH_MIN_GUARD_SIZE can
be defined to get large enough stack guard on libc allocated stacks.
The patch does not affect threads with user allocated stacks.

This started as a trivial change to Anton's rawmemchr. I got
carried away. This is a hybrid between P8's asympotically
faster 64B checks with extremely efficient small string checks
e.g <64B (and sometimes a little bit more depending on alignment).
The second trick is to align to 64B by running a 48B checking loop
16B at a time until we naturally align to 64B (i.e checking 48/96/144
bytes/iteration based on the alignment after the first 5 comparisons).
This allieviates the need to check page boundaries.
Finally, explicly use the P7 strlen with the runtime loader when building
P9. We need to be cautious about vector/vsx extensions here on P9 only
builds.
This defines the macro such that it should behave best on all
supported powerpc targets. Likewise, this allows us to remove the
ppc64le specific s_fmaf128.c.
I have verified powerpc64le multiarch and powerpc64le power9

strcmp is used while resolving PLT references. Vector registers
should not be used during this. The P9 strcmp makes heavy use of
vector registers, so it should be avoided in rtld.
This prevents quiet vector register corruption when glibc is configured
with --disable-multi-arch and --with-cpu=power9. This can be seen with
test-float64x-compat_totalordermag during the first call into
totalordermagf64x@GLIBC_2.27.

On platforms where long double may have two different formats, i.e.: the
same format as double (64-bits) or something else (128-bits), building
with -mlong-double-128 is the default and function calls in the user
program match the name of the function in Glibc. When building with
-mlong-double-64, Glibc installed headers redirect such calls to the
appropriate function.
Likewise, the internals of glibc are now built against IEEE long double.

On powerpc64le, a few files are built on IEEE long double mode
(-mabi=ieeelongdouble), whereas most are built on IBM long double mode
(-mabi=ibmlongdouble, the default for -mlong-double-128). Since binutils
2.31, linking object files with different long double modes causes
errors similar to:
ld: libc_pic.a(s_isinfl.os) uses IBM long double,
libc_pic.a(ieee128-qefgcvt.os) uses IEEE long double.
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [../Makerules:649: libc_pic.os] Error 1
The warnings are fair and correct, but in order for glibc to have
support for both long double modes on powerpc64le, they have to be
ignored. This can be accomplished with the use of -mno-gnu-attribute
option when building the few files that require IEEE long double mode.
However, -mno-gnu-attribute is not available in GCC 6, the minimum
version required to build glibc, so this patch adds a test for this
feature in powerpc64le builds, and fails early if it's not available.
