In <sys/platform/x86.h>, define CPU features as enum instead of using
the C preprocessor magic to make it easier to wrap this functionality
in other languages. Move the C preprocessor magic to internal header
for better GCC codegen when more than one features are checked in a
single expression as in x86-64 dl-hwcaps-subdirs.c.
1. Rename COMMON_CPUID_INDEX_XXX to CPUID_INDEX_XXX.
2. Move CPUID_INDEX_MAX to sysdeps/x86/include/cpu-features.h.
3. Remove struct cpu_features and __x86_get_cpu_features from
<sys/platform/x86.h>.
4. Add __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf to <sys/platform/x86.h> and put it
in libc.
5. Make __get_cpu_features() private to glibc.
6. Replace __x86_get_cpu_features(N) with __get_cpu_features().
7. Add _dl_x86_get_cpu_features to GLIBC_PRIVATE.
8. Use a single enum index for each CPU feature detection.
9. Pass the CPUID feature leaf to __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf.
10. Return zero struct cpuid_feature for the older glibc binary with a
smaller CPUID_INDEX_MAX [BZ #27104].
11. Inside glibc, use the C preprocessor magic so that cpu_features data
can be loaded just once leading to more compact code for glibc.
256 bits are used for each CPUID leaf. Some leaves only contain a few
features. We can add exceptions to such leaves. But it will increase
code sizes and it is harder to provide backward/forward compatibilities
when new features are added to such leaves in the future.
When new leaves are added, _rtld_global_ro offsets will change which
leads to race condition during in-place updates. We may avoid in-place
updates by
1. Rename the old glibc.
2. Install the new glibc.
3. Remove the old glibc.
NB: A function, __x86_get_cpuid_feature_leaf , is used to avoid the copy
relocation issue with IFUNC resolver as shown in IFUNC resolver tests.
GCC 11 supports -march=x86-64-v[234] to enable x86 micro-architecture ISA
levels:

GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234] marker:

x86: Support GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234] marker
GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_NEEDED property in x86 ELF binaries indicate the
micro-architecture ISA level required to execute the binary. The marker
must be added by programmers explicitly in one of 3 ways:
1. Pass -mneeded to GCC.
2. Add the marker in the linker inputs as this patch does.
3. Pass -z x86-64-v[234] to the linker.
Add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_BASELINE and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234]
marker support to ld.so if binutils 2.32 or newer is used to build glibc:
1. Add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_BASELINE and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234]
markers to elf.h.
2. Add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_BASELINE and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234]
marker to abi-note.o based on the ISA level used to compile abi-note.o,
assuming that the same ISA level is used to compile the whole glibc.
3. Add isa_1 to cpu_features to record the supported x86 ISA level.
4. Rename _dl_process_cet_property_note to _dl_process_property_note and
add GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_V[234] marker detection.
5. Update _rtld_main_check and _dl_open_check to check loaded objects
with the incompatible ISA level.
6. Add a testcase to verify that dlopen an x86-64-v4 shared object fails
on lesser platforms.
7. Use <get-isa-level.h> in dl-hwcaps-subdirs.c and tst-glibc-hwcaps.c.
Tested under i686, x32 and x86-64 modes on x86-64-v2, x86-64-v3 and
x86-64-v4 machines.
Marked elf/tst-isa-level-1 with x86-64-v4, ran it on x86-64-v3 machine
and got:
[hjl@gnu-cfl-2 build-x86_64-linux]$ ./elf/tst-isa-level-1
./elf/tst-isa-level-1: CPU ISA level is lower than required
[hjl@gnu-cfl-2 build-x86_64-linux]$
