This patch tries to organize the implies files for ppc, since there are
a number of processors and most of them are compatible with each other
(backwards compatible).
Having in mind that we start the search for processor-specific files in
the sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux tree
(sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]/fpu to be
exact), we would like to grab any linux-specific code from that tree
prior to going through the other tree (sysdeps/powerpc/...).
For that, i removed the Implies files that were originally inside the
fpu directories and placed then in the non-fpu directories (still inside
the unix/sysv/linux tree). If no processor-specific/linux-specific files
could be found, we "imply" the other tree's (sysdeps/powerpc/...) fpu
directory for that specific processor AND also the non-fpu directory for
that same tree.
If, again, no processor-specific code is found, we read another Implies
file that will point to the most compatible processor that we should
grab code from, and so on, until we reach the power4 processor.
So, in summary, the Implies files will live inside these directories
now:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/[processor]
Practical example of the order we will use to pick power6-specific code
with the new structure.
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6/fpu ->
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power6 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5+/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5+ ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power5 ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power4/fpu ->
sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc[32|64]/power4 (from here, it'll go to the
generic path as usual)
This patch includes optimized 64bit memcpy/memmove for Atom, Core 2 and
Core i7. It improves memcpy by up to 3X on Atom, up to 4X on Core 2 and
up to 1X on Core i7. It also improves memmove by up to 3X on Atom, up to
4X on Core 2 and up to 2X on Core i7.
The getdents64 syscall adds on 32-but platforms padding which isn't needed
and not included in the userlevel data structure definition. We have to
avoid copying those padding bytes in the readdir64_r function.
When doing i686-unknown-linux-gnu build configured with --enable-kernel=2.6.24,
there are several warnings like this:
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/fcntl.c:36:12: warning: ‘miss_F_GETOWN_EX’ defined but not used
It's already so marked in dl-sysdep.c. Failure to so mark
in the header file leads the compiler to believe that the
variable should be addressable via the .sdata section.

GCC 4.5 warns about "extern void _end; &end;".
Use char[] instead, as that also doesn't fall foul
of a target's .sdata optimizations.

When not using gethostbyname4 methods we immediately aborted the loop
over the nss modules on the first successful lookup. While this is
almost always what is wanted the nsswitch.conf file allows to select
something different.
The old implementation uses fd 0 to determine the login TTY. This
was needed because using /dev/tty it is not possible to deduce the
login TTY. For some time now there is the pseudo-file
/proc/self/loginuid which directly helps us to find the user. Prefer
using this file. It also works if stdin is closed, redirected, or
re-opened.
