This test fails without bug 26798 fixed because some integer registers
likely get clobbered by lazy binding and variant PCS only allows x16
and x17 to be clobbered at call time.
The test requires binutils 2.32.1 or newer for handling variant PCS
symbols. SVE registers are not covered by this test, to avoid the
complexity of handling multiple compile- and runtime feature support
cases.
Return address signing requires unwinder support, which is
present in libgcc since >=gcc-7, however due to bugs the
support may be broken in <gcc-10 (and similarly there may
be issues in custom unwinders), so pac-ret is not always
safe to use. So in assembly code glibc should only use
pac-ret if the compiler uses it too. Unfortunately there
is no predefined feature macro for it set by the compiler
so pac-ret is inferred from the code generation.

When glibc is built with branch protection (i.e. with a gcc configured
with --enable-standard-branch-protection), all glibc binaries should
be BTI compatible and marked as such.
It is easy to link BTI incompatible objects by accident and this is
silent currently which is usually not the expectation, so this is
changed into a link error. (There is no linker flag for failing on
BTI incompatible inputs so all warnings are turned into fatal errors
outside the test system when building glibc with branch protection.)
Unfortunately, outlined atomic functions are not BTI compatible in
libgcc (PR libgcc/96001), so to build glibc with current gcc use
'CC=gcc -mno-outline-atomics', this should be fixed in libgcc soon
and then glibc can be built and tested without such workarounds.

Check BTI support in the compiler and linker. The check also
requires READELF that understands the BTI GNU property note.
It is expected to succeed with gcc >=gcc-9 configured with
--enable-standard-branch-protection and binutils >=binutils-2.33.
Note: passing -mbranch-protection=bti in CFLAGS when building glibc
may not be enough to get a glibc that supports BTI because crtbegin*
and crtend* provided by the compiler needs to be BTI compatible too.

This patch moves the AArch64 port to the main sysdeps hierarchy. The
move is essentially:
git mv ports/sysdeps/aarch64 sysdeps/aarch64
git mv ports/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64 sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/aarch64
The README is updated and I've updated ChangeLog.aarch64 along the
lines of the ARM move. The AArch64 build has been tested to confirm
that there were no changes in objdump -dr output or the shared
objects.
