[RS6000] Don't pass -many to the assembler
glibc builds are failing when an assembly implementation does not
declare the correct '.machine' directive, or when no such directive is
declared at all. For example, when a POWER6 instruction is used, but
'.machine power6' is not declared, the assembler will fail with an error
similar to the following:
../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power8/strcmp.S: Assembler messages:
24 ../sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power8/strcmp.S:55: Error: unrecognized opcode: `cmpb'
This patch adds '.machine powerN' directives where none existed, as well
as it updates '.machine power7' directives on POWER8 files, because the
minimum binutils version required to build glibc (binutils 2.25) now
provides this machine version. It also adds '-many' to the assembler
command used to build tst-set_ppr.c.
Tested for powerpc, powerpc64, and powerpc64le, as well as with
build-many-glibcs.py for powerpc targets.

The creation of the divergent sysdeps directory for powerpc64le

powerpc64le: Create divergent sysdep directory for powerpc64le.
allowed float128 to be enabled for powerpc64le (little-endian) and not
for powerpc64 (big-endian). Since the only intended difference between
them was the presence or absence of the float128 interface, the sysdeps
directory for powerpc64le explicitly reused the files from powerpc64
(through the use of Implies files).
Although this works, it also means that files under the powerpc64
directory might be preferred over files under powerpc64le. For
instance, on a build for powerpc64le with target set to power9, a file
from powerpc64/power5 might get built, even though a file with the same
name exists in powerpc64le/power8. That happens because the processor
hierarchy was only defined in the sysdeps directory for powerpc64 (and
borrowed by powerpc64le).
This patch fixes this behavior, by creating new subdirectories under
powerpc64 (i.e.: powerpc64/be and powerpc64/le) and creating new Implies
files to provide the hierarchy of processors for powerpc64 and
powerpc64le separately. These changes have no effect on installed,
stripped binaries (which remain unchanged).
Tested that installed stripped binaries are unchanged and that there are
no regressions on powerpc64 and powerpc64le.

This patch cleanups the multiarch bzero for powerpc64 by remove
the multiarch objects and use instead the the memset embedded
implementation presented in each multiarch optimization. The
code generate is essentially the same, but the TB_TOCLESS (which
is not essential).
For PPC64, all the wrappers at sysdeps are superfluous: they are
basically the same implementation from math/w_sqrt.c with the
'#ifdef _IEEE_LIBM'. And the power4 version just force the 'fsqrt'
instruction utilization with an inline assembly, which is already
handled by math_private.h __ieee754_sqrt implementation.

One of the things I noticed when looking at power7 timing is that rlwimi
is cracked and the two resulting insns have a register dependency.

LIttle-endian support for memcpy. I spent some time cleaning up the

power7 takes for little-endian. It probably would have been better

This is a rather large patch due to formatting and renaming. The
formatting changes were to make it possible to compare power7 and
power4 versions of memcmp. Using different register defines came
about while I was wrestling with the code, trying to find spare
registers at one stage. I found it much simpler if we refer to a reg
by the same name throughout a function, so it's better if short-term
multiple use regs like rTMP are referred to using their register
number. I made the cr field usage changes when attempting to reload
rWORDn regs in the exit path to byte swap before comparing when
little-endian. That proved a bad idea due to the pipelining involved
in the main loop; Offsets to reload the regs were different first
time around the loop.. Anyway, I left the cr field usage changes in
place for consistency.
Aside from these more-or-less cosmetic changes, I fixed a number of
places where an early exit path restores regs unnecessarily, removed
some dead code, and optimised one or two exits.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/power7/memcmp.S: Add little-endian support.
Formatting. Consistently use rXXX register defines or rN defines.
Use early exit labels that avoid restoring unused non-volatile regs.
Make cr field use more consistent with rWORDn compares. Rename
regs used as shift registers for unaligned loop, using rN defines
for short lifetime/multiple use regs.

More little-endian support. I leave the main strcmp loops unchanged,
(well, except for renumbering rTMP to something other than r0 since
it's needed in an addi insn) and modify the tail for little-endian.
I noticed some of the big-endian tail code was a little untidy so have
cleaned that up too.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/strcmp.S (rTMP2): Define as r0.
(rTMP): Define as r11.
