28cfa3a48e tunables, aarch64: New tunable to override cpu
Add a new tunable (glibc.tune.cpu) to override CPU identification on
aarch64.  This is useful in two cases: one where it is desirable to
pretend to be another CPU for purposes of testing or because routines
written for that CPU are beneficial for specific workloads and second
where the underlying kernel does not support emulation of MRS to get
the MIDR of the CPU.

	* elf/dl-tunables.h (tunable_is_name): Move from...
	* elf/dl-tunables.c (is_name): ... here.
	(parse_tunables, __tunables_init): Adjust.
	* manual/tunables.texi: Document glibc.tune.cpu.
	* sysdeps/aarch64/dl-tunables.list: New file.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c (struct
	cpu_list): New type.
	(cpu_list): New list of CPU names and their MIDR.
	(get_midr_from_mcpu): New function.
	(init_cpu_features): Override MIDR if necessary.

f82e9672ad aarch64: Allow overriding HWCAP_CPUID feature check using HWCAP_MASK
Now that LD_HWCAP_MASK (or glibc.tune.hwcap_mask) is read early enough
to influence cpu feature check in aarch64, use it to influence
multiarch selection.  Setting LD_HWCAP_MASK such that it clears
HWCAP_CPUID will now disable multiarch for the binary.

HWCAP_CPUID is also now set in HWCAP_IMPORTANT so that it is set by
default.  With this patch, this feature is only usable with
dyanmically linked binaries because LD_HWCAP_MASK is not read for
static binaries.  A future patch fixes that.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/cpu-features.c
	(init_cpu_features): Use glibc.tune.hwcap_mask.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64/dl-procinfo.h: New file.
