Since the full ISA set used in an ELF binary is unknown to compiler,
an x86-64 ISA level marker indicates the minimum, not maximum, ISA set
required to run such an ELF binary. We never guarantee a library with
an x86-64 ISA level v3 marker doesn't contain other ISAs beyond x86-64
ISA level v3, like AVX VNNI. We check the x86-64 ISA level marker for
the minimum ISA set. Since -march=sandybridge enables only some ISAs
in x86-64 ISA level v3, we should set the needed ISA marker to v2.
Otherwise, libc is compiled with -march=sandybridge will fail to run on
Sandy Bridge:
$ ./elf/ld.so ./libc.so
./libc.so: (p) CPU ISA level is lower than required: needed: 7; got: 3
Set the minimum, instead of maximum, x86-64 ISA level marker should have
no impact on the glibc-hwcaps directory assignment logic in ldconfig nor
ld.so.
GCC 11 supports -march=x86-64-v[234] to enable x86 micro-architecture ISA
levels:

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]$
