AT_EMPTY_PATH is a requirement to implement fstat over fstatat,
however it does not prevent the kernel to read the path argument.
It is not an issue, but on x86-64 with SMAP-capable CPUs the kernel is
forced to perform expensive user memory access. After that regular
lookup is performed which adds even more overhead.
Instead, issue the fstat syscall directly on LFS fstat implementation
(32 bit architectures will still continue to use statx, which is
required to have 64 bit time_t support). it should be even a
small performance gain on non x86_64, since there is no need
to handle the path argument.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
LoongArch is going to be the first architecture supported by Linux that
has neither fstat* nor newfstatat [1], instead exclusively relying on
statx. So in fstatat64's implementation, we need to also enable statx
usage if neither fstatat64 nor newfstatat is present, to prepare for
this new case of kernel ABI.

linux: Use statx for MIPSn64
This patch is now linking against __gnu_dev_makedev as
also done in commit:
8b4a118222
Fix -Os gnu_dev_* linknamespace, localplt issues (bug 15105, bug 19463).
MIPSn64 kernel ABI for legacy stat uses unsigned 32 bit for second
timestamp, which limits the maximum value to y2106. This patch
make mips64 use statx as for 32-bit architectures.
Thie __cp_stat64_t64_statx is open coded, its usage is solely on
fstatat64 and it avoid the need to redefine the name for mips64
(which will call __cp_stat64_statx since its does not use
__stat64_t64 internally).
If the minimum kernel supports statx there is no need to call the
fallback stat legacy syscalls.
The statx is also called on compat xstat syscall, but different
than the fstatat it calls no fallback and it is assumed to be
always present.
Checked on powerpc-linux-gnu (with and without --enable-kernel=4.11)
and on powerpc64-linux-gnu.
The check is moved to LFS fstatat implementation (since it is the
code that actually implements the syscall).

Although not required by the standards, some code expects that a
successful stat call should not set errno. However since aa03f722f3
'linux: Add {f}stat{at} y2038 support', on 32-bit systems with 32-bit
time_t supporrt, stat implementation will first issues __NR_statx and
if it fails with ENOSYS issue the system stat syscall.
On architecture running on kernel without __NR_statx support the
first call will set the errno to ENOSYS, even when the following stat
syscall might not fail.
This patch fixes by using INTERNAL_SYSCALL and only setting the errno
value when function returns.

sparcv9-linux-gnu, powerpc64-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,

A new struct __stat{64}_t64 type is added with the required
__timespec64 time definition. Only LFS is added, 64-bit time with
32-bit offsets is not supposed to be supported (no existing glibc
configuration supports such a combination). It is done with an extra
__NR_statx call plus a conversion to the new __stat{64}_t64 type.
The statx call is done only for 32-bit time_t ABIs.
Internally some extra routines to copy from/to struct stat{64}
to struct __stat{64} used on multiple implementations (stat, fstat,
lstat, and fstatat) are added on a extra implementation
(stat_t64_cp.c). Alse some extra routines to copy from statx to
__stat{64} is added on statx_cp.c.

It implements all the required syscall for the all Linux kABIS on
fstatat{64} instead of calling fxstatat{64}.
On non-LFS implementation, it handles 3 cases:
1. New kABIs which uses generic pre 64-bit time Linux ABI (csky and
nios): it issues __NR_fstat64 plus handle the overflow on st_ino,
st_size, or st_blocks.
2. Old KABIs with old non-LFS support (arm, i386, hppa, m68k,
microblaze, mips32, s390, sh, powerpc, and sparc32): it issues
__NR_fstatat64 and convert the result to struct stat.
3. 64-bit kABI outliers (mips64 and mips64-n32): it issues
__NR_newfstatat and convert the result to struct stat.
The generic LFS implementation handles multiple cases:
1. XSTAT_IS_XSTAT64 being 1:
1.1. 64-bit kABI (aarch64, ia64, powerpc64*, s390x, riscv64, and
x86_64): it issues __NR_newfstatat.
1.2. 64-bit kABI outlier (alpha): it issues __NR_fstatat64.
1.3. 64-bit kABI outlier where struct stat64 does not match kernel
one (sparc64): it issues __NR_fstatat64 and convert the result
to struct stat64.
1.4. 32-bit kABI with default 64-bit time_t (arc, riscv32): it
issues __NR_statx and convert the result to struct stat64.
2. Old ABIs with XSTAT_IS_XSTAT64 being 0:
2.1. All kABIs with non-LFS support (arm, csky, i386, hppa, m68k,
microblaze, nios2, sh, powerpc32, and sparc32): it issues
__NR_fstatat64.
2.2. 64-bit kABI outliers (mips64 and mips64-n32): it issues
__NR_newfstatat and convert the result to struct stat64.
It allows to remove all the hidden definitions from the {f,l}xstat{64}
(some are still kept because Hurd requires it).
Checked with a build for all affected ABIs. I also checked on x86_64,
i686, powerpc, powerpc64le, sparcv9, sparc64, s390, and s390x.
