This patch is a reimplementation of [1], which was submitted back in
2015. Copyright issue has been sorted [2] last year. It proposed a new
section (.gnu.xhash) and related dynamic tag (GT_GNU_XHASH). The new
section would be virtually identical to the existing .gnu.hash except
for the translation table (xlat) which would contain correct MIPS
.dynsym indexes corresponding to the hashvals in chains. This is because
MIPS ABI imposes a different ordering of the dynsyms than the one
expected by the .gnu.hash section. Another addition would be a leading
word at the beggining of the section, which would contain the number of
entries in the translation table.
In this patch, the new section name and dynamic tag are changed to
reflect the fact that the section should be treated as MIPS specific
(.MIPS.xhash and DT_MIPS_XHASH).
This patch addresses the alignment issue reported in [3] which is caused
by the leading word of the .MIPS.xhash section. Leading word is now
removed in the corresponding binutils patch, and the number of entries
in the translation table is computed using DT_MIPS_SYMTABNO dynamic tag.
Since the MIPS specific dl-lookup.c file was removed following the
initial patch submission, I opted for the definition of three new macros
in the generic ldsodefs.h. ELF_MACHINE_GNU_HASH_ADDRIDX defines the
index of the dynamic tag in the l_info array. ELF_MACHINE_HASH_SYMIDX is
used to calculate the index of a symbol in GNU hash. On MIPS, it is
defined to look up the symbol index in the translation table.
ELF_MACHINE_XHASH_SETUP is defined for MIPS only. It initializes the
.MIPS.xhash pointer in the link_map_machine struct.
The other major change is bumping the highest EI_ABIVERSION value for
MIPS to suggest that the dynamic linker now supports GNU hash.
The patch was tested by running the glibc testsuite for the three MIPS
ABIs (o32, n32 and n64) and for x86_64-linux-gnu.

This bumps the highest valid EI_ABIVERSION value to ABSOLUTE ABI.
New testcase loads the symbol from the GOT with the "lb" instruction
so that the EI_ABIVERSION header field of the shared object is set
to ABSOLUTE (it doesn't actually check the value of the symbol), and
makes sure that the main executable is executed without "ABI version
invalid" error.
Tested for all three ABIs (o32, n32, n64) using both static linker which
handles undefined weak symbols correctly [1] (and sets the EI_ABIVERSION
of the test module) and the one that doesn't (EI_ABIVERSION left as 0).

[BZ #24916]
* sysdeps/mips/Makefile [$(subdir) = elf] (tests): Add
tst-undefined-weak.
[$(subdir) = elf] (modules-names): Add tst-undefined-weak-lib.
[$(subdir) = elf] ($(objpfx)tst-undefined-weak): Add dependency.
* sysdeps/mips/tst-undefined-weak-lib.S: New file.

I've moved the MIPS port from ports to the main sysdeps hierarchy.
Beyond the README update, the move of the files was simply
git mv ports/sysdeps/mips sysdeps/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/mips sysdeps/unix/mips
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips
and in addition to the ChangeLog entries here, I put a note at the top
of ports/ChangeLog.mips similar to those in other files.
Tested that disassembly of installed shared libraries for mips is the
same before and after this patch (except for ld.so where paths in
assertions are involved, as for arm).
