Upstream GCC 11 development is now building the ibm128 runtime
support (in libgcc) without a .gnu.attributes section on ppc64le.
Ensure we have one to replace by building one ibm128 file in
libc and libm with attributes.

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.

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.

-mabi=ieeelongdouble triggers the stdc++ libraries _Float128
support, which then breaks if algorithm is included. For now,
explicitly disable _Float128 for such tests.
I have opened up GCC BZ 94080 to track this.

I have observed a bug on 7.4.0 whereby __mulkc3 calls are
swapped with __multc3 depending on ABI selection. For the
sake of being overly cautious, build all _Float128 files
with ibm128 to workaround these compilers. This has been
noted in GCC BZ 84914, and will not be fixed for GCC 7.
Likewise, non-math files built with _Float128 are assumed
to have ibm long double. Explicilty preserve this
assumption.
Finally, add some bootstrapping code to avoid applying
these options until IEEE long double is enabled as they
require GCC 7 and above.

Some of these files depend on the avoidance of using the various
register sets of POWER. When enabling the IEEE 128 long double,
we must be sure to disable this ABI as some compilers will
refuse to compile if -mno-vsx and -mabi=ieeelongdouble are both
present.

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.

With mathinline removal there is no need to keep building and testing
inline math tests.
The gen-libm-tests.py support to generate ULP_I_* is removed and all
libm-test-ulps files are updated to longer have the
i{float,double,ldouble} entries. The support for no-test-inline is
also removed from both gen-auto-libm-tests and the
auto-libm-test-out-* were regenerated.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
Since commit a3cc4f48e9 ("Remove
--as-needed configure test."), --as-needed support is no longer
optional.
The macros are not much shorter and do not provide documentary
value, either, so this commit removes them.
My recent nan-sign tests fail to build for powerpc64le with GCC 8
because of the special compile / link options needed there for any
test using _Float128. This patch arranges for these tests to be
handled on powerpc64le similarly to other such tests.
Tested with build-many-glibcs.py for powerpc64le.
[BZ #23303]
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64/le/Makefile
(CFLAGS-tst-strtod-nan-sign.c): Add -mfloat128.
(CFLAGS-tst-wcstod-nan-sign.c): Likewise.
(gnulib-tests): Also add $(f128-loader-link) for
tst-strtod-nan-sign abd tst-wcstod-nan-sign.
The creation of the divergent sysdeps directory for powerpc64le

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.
