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.
Add a guard to fallback to the power8 implementation when building
power9 strcmp for libraries other than libc.

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.
However, the only (minimally) notable usage of long double is difftime.

GCC 7.5.0 (PR94200) will refuse to compile if both -mabi=% and

it will work happily if the latter is not. For the sake of

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.

We turn off this feature to avoid polluting our shared libary with
a specific value. However, static libgcc is not under our control,
and has enabled this for ibm128 routines. This pollutes the
resulting shared libraries with it.
Attach a post-linking hook to replace this section with one crafted
as hard-float + indeterminate ldbl. This allows IEEE ldbl users to
avoid having to disable the gnu attributes feature which should
protect them from linking ibm ldbl libraries using the gnu attributes
feature.
Currently, this only replaces libc and libm which support both ldbl
formats and rely on application code to explicitly determine which
is to be used.
Strictly speaking, the section could be deleted with minimal lost value.
However correctly set attributes could prove useful for some future change,
and similarly missing attributes.

In practice, this flag should be applied globally, but it makes a good
sanity check to ensure ibm128 and ieee128 long double files are not
getting mismatched. _Float128 files use no long double, thus are
always safe to use this option.
Similarly, when investigating the linker complaints, difftime
makes trivial, self contained, usage of long double, so thus it
is also explicitly marked as such.

This better resembles the default linking process with the gnulibs,
and also resolves the increasingly difficult to maintain
f128-loader-link usage on powerpc64le as some libgcc symbols are
dependent on those found in the loader (ld).
Ensure the correct ldouble abi flags are applied to ibm128 files and
nldbl files. Remove the IEEE options if used, and apply the flags
used to build ldouble files which are ibm128 abi.
nldbl tests are a little tricky. To use the support, we must remove
all ldouble abi flags, and ensure -mlong-double-64 is used.

The configure fragment for powerpc64le contains a test for the presence
of several compiler builtins and of the __float128 type, which are
provided by GCC 6.2 for powerpc64le. Since this configure test was
added, the compiler version required to build glibc for powerpc64le was
different than that required for the other architectures.
Now that glibc requires GCC 6.2 globally (since commit ID 4dcbbc3b28),
this patch removes the powerpc64le-specific test.
Even tough the configure test checks for compiler features rather than
compiler version, the intent of the test was to stop build attempts at
early stages, if they had been configured with a too old compiler. It
was not the intention of the test to detect compiler breakage (such as
the removal of the required compiler features in future GCC versions),
and glibc is not the place to test for compiler regressions, anyway.

The creation of the divergent sysdeps directory for powerpc64le
commit 2f7f3cd8cd

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.
