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.

As per <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-10/msg00369.html>,
there should not be separate sysdeps/<arch>/soft-fp directories when
those are used by all configurations that use sysdeps/<arch>, and,
more generally, should not be sysdeps/foo/Implies files pointing to a
subdirectory foo/bar. This patch eliminates the
sysdeps/aarch64/soft-fp directory accordingly, merging its contents
into sysdeps/aarch64.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py that installed stripped shared
libraries for aarch64 configurations are unchanged by this patch.
* sysdeps/aarch64/Implies: Remove aarch64/soft-fp.
* sysdeps/aarch64/Makefile [$(subdir) = math] (CPPFLAGS): Add
-I../soft-fp. Moved from ....
* sysdeps/aarch64/soft-fp/Makefile: ... here. Remove file.

Add unwind info to __libc_start_main so that unwinding continues one
extra level to _start. Similarly add unwind info to backtrace.
Given many targets require this, do this in a general way.
* csu/Makefile: Add -funwind-tables to libc-start.c.
* debug/Makefile: Add -funwind-tables to backtrace.c.
* sysdeps/aarch64/Makefile: Remove CFLAGS-backtrace.c.
* sysdeps/arm/Makefile: Likewise.
* sysdeps/i386/Makefile: Likewise.
* sysdeps/m68k/Makefile: Likewise.
* sysdeps/mips/Makefile: Likewise.
* sysdeps/nios2/Makefile: Likewise.
* sysdeps/sh/Makefile: Likewise.
* sysdeps/sparc/Makefile: Likewise.
When glibc is built with --enable-profile, the ENTRY of
asm functions includes CALL_MCOUNT for profiling.
(matters for binaries static linked against libc_p.a.)
CALL_MCOUNT did not save/restore argument registers
around the _mcount call so it clobbered them.
(it is enough to only save/restore the arguments passed
to a given asm function, but that would be too many asm
changes so it is simpler to always save all argument
registers in this macro.)
float args are not saved: mcount does not clobber the
float regs and currently no asm function takes float
arguments anyway.
[BZ #18707]
* sysdeps/aarch64/Makefile (CFLAGS-mcount.c): Add -mgeneral-regs-only.
* sysdeps/aarch64/sysdep.h (CALL_MCOUNT): Save argument registers.
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.
