Matheus Castanho 68ab82f566 powerpc: Runtime selection between sc and scv for syscalls
Linux kernel v5.9 added support for system calls using the scv
instruction for POWER9 and later.  The new codepath provides better
performance (see below) if compared to using sc.  For the
foreseeable future, both sc and scv mechanisms will co-exist, so this
patch enables glibc to do a runtime check and use scv when it is
available.

Before issuing the system call to the kernel, we check hwcap2 in the TCB
for PPC_FEATURE2_SCV to see if scv is supported by the kernel.  If not,
we fallback to sc and keep the old behavior.

The kernel implements a different error return convention for scv, so
when returning from a system call we need to handle the return value
differently depending on the instruction we used to enter the kernel.

For syscalls implemented in ASM, entry and exit are implemented by
different macros (PSEUDO and PSEUDO_RET, resp.), which may be used in
sequence (e.g. for templated syscalls) or with other instructions in
between (e.g. clone).  To avoid accessing the TCB a second time on
PSEUDO_RET to check which instruction we used, the value read from
hwcap2 is cached on a non-volatile register.

This is not needed when using INTERNAL_SYSCALL macro, since entry and
exit are bundled into the same inline asm directive.

The dynamic loader may issue syscalls before the TCB has been setup
so it always uses sc with no extra checks.  For the static case, there
is no compile-time way to determine if we are inside startup code,
so we also check the value of the thread pointer before effectively
accessing the TCB.  For such situations in which the availability of
scv cannot be determined, sc is always used.

Support for scv in syscalls implemented in their own ASM file (clone and
vfork) will be added later. For now simply use sc as before.

Average performance over 1M calls for each syscall "type":
  - stat: C wrapper calling INTERNAL_SYSCALL
  - getpid: templated ASM syscall
  - syscall: call to gettid using syscall function

  Standard:
     stat : 1.573445 us / ~3619 cycles
   getpid : 0.164986 us / ~379 cycles
  syscall : 0.162743 us / ~374 cycles

  With scv:
     stat : 1.537049 us / ~3535 cycles <~ -84 cycles  / -2.32%
   getpid : 0.109923 us / ~253 cycles  <~ -126 cycles / -33.25%
  syscall : 0.116410 us / ~268 cycles  <~ -106 cycles / -28.34%

Tested on powerpc, powerpc64, powerpc64le (with and without scv)
