Qualcomm's new core (oryon-1) has a different performance characteristic
than other cores. For memcpy, it is faster to use the GPRs to
do the copy for large sizes (2x faster). For even larger sizes,
it is better to use the nontemporal load/store instructions so
we don't pollute the L1/L2 caches.
For smaller sizes, the characteristic are very similar to
other cores.
I used the thunderx memcpy as a starting point and expanded from there.
Changes since v1:
* v2: Fix ordering in Makefile.
* v3: Fix comment grammar about the ldnp/stnp instructions.

The 680c597e9c3 commit made loader reject ill-formatted strings by
first tracking all set tunables and then applying them. However, it does
not take into consideration if the same tunable is set multiple times,
where parse_tunables_string appends the found tunable without checking
if it was already in the list. It leads to a stack-based buffer overflow
if the tunable is specified more than the total number of tunables. For
instance:
GLIBC_TUNABLES=glibc.malloc.check=2:... (repeat over the number of
total support for different tunable).
Instead, use the index of the tunable list to get the expected tunable
entry. Since now the initial list is zero-initialized, the compiler
might emit an extra memset and this requires some minor adjustment
on some ports.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-linux-gnu.

Old Linux kernels disable SVE after every system call. Calling the
SVE-optimized memcpy afterwards will then cause a trap to reenable SVE.
As a result, applications with a high use of syscalls may run slower with
the SVE memcpy. This is true for kernels between 4.15.0 and before 6.2.0,
except for 5.14.0 which was patched. Avoid this by checking the kernel
version and selecting the SVE ifunc on modern kernels.
Parse the kernel version reported by uname() into a 24-bit kernel.major.minor
value without calling any library functions. If uname() is not supported or
if the version format is not recognized, assume the kernel is modern.

v2 is a complete rewrite of the A64FX memcpy. Performance is improved
by streamlining the code, aligning all large copies and using a single
unrolled loop for all sizes. The code size for memcpy and memmove goes
down from 1796 bytes to 868 bytes. Performance is better in all cases:
bench-memcpy-random is 2.3% faster overall, bench-memcpy-large is ~33%
faster for large sizes, bench-memcpy-walk is 25% faster for small sizes
and 20% for the largest sizes. The geomean of all tests in bench-memcpy
is 5.1% faster, and total time is reduced by 4%.

This patch optimizes the performance of memset for A64FX [1] which
implements ARMv8-A SVE and has L1 64KB cache per core and L2 8MB cache
per NUMA node.
The performance optimization makes use of Scalable Vector Register
with several techniques such as loop unrolling, memory access
alignment, cache zero fill and prefetch.
SVE assembler code for memset is implemented as Vector Length Agnostic
code so theoretically it can be run on any SOC which supports ARMv8-A
SVE standard.
We confirmed that all testcases have been passed by running 'make
check' and 'make xcheck' not only on A64FX but also on ThunderX2.
And also we confirmed that the SVE 512 bit vector register performance
is roughly 4 times better than Advanced SIMD 128 bit register and 8
times better than scalar 64 bit register by running 'make bench'.

Some IFUNC variants are not compatible with BTI and MTE so don't
set them as usable for testing and benchmarking on a BTI or MTE
enabled system.
As far as IFUNC selectors are concerned a system is BTI enabled if
the cpu supports it and glibc was built with BTI branch protection.
Most IFUNC variants are BTI compatible, but thunderx2 memcpy and
memmove use a jump table with indirect jump, without a BTI j.

Move the definition to init-arch.h so all ifunc selectors can use it

For now we allow user code to enable tag checks and use PROT_MTE
mappings without libc involvment, this is not guaranteed ABI, but
can be useful for testing and debugging with MTE.

DELOUSE was added to asm code to make them compatible with non-LP64
ABIs, but it is an unfortunate name and the code was not compatible
with ABIs where pointer and size_t are different. Glibc currently
only supports the LP64 ABI so these macros are not really needed or
tested, but for now the name is changed to be more meaningful instead
of removing them completely.
Some DELOUSE macros were dropped: clone, strlen and strnlen used it
unnecessarily.
The out of tree ILP32 patches are currently not maintained and will
likely need a rework to rebase them on top of the time64 changes.

To enable building glibc with branch protection, assembly code
needs BTI landing pads and ELF object file markings in the form
of a GNU property note.
The landing pads are unconditionally added to all functions that
may be indirectly called. When the code segment is not mapped
with PROT_BTI these instructions are nops. They are kept in the
code when BTI is not supported so that the layout of performance
critical code is unchanged across configurations.
The GNU property notes are only added when there is support for
BTI in the toolchain, because old binutils does not handle the
notes right. (Does not know how to merge them nor to put them in
PT_GNU_PROPERTY segment instead of PT_NOTE, and some versions
of binutils emit warnings about the unknown GNU property. In
such cases the produced libc binaries would not have valid
ELF marking so BTI would not be enabled.)
Note: functions using ENTRY or ENTRY_ALIGN now start with an
additional BTI c, so alignment of the following code changes,
but ENTRY_ALIGN_AND_PAD was fixed so there is no change to the
existing code layout. Some string functions may need to be
tuned for optimal performance after this commit.

Falkor's memcpy and memmove share some implementation details,
therefore, the two routines are moved to a single source file
for code reuse.
The two routines now share code for small and medium copies
(up to and including 128 bytes). Large copies in memcpy do not
handle overlap correctly, consequently, the loops for
moving/copying more than 128 bytes stay separate for memcpy
and memmove.
To increase code reuse a number of small modifications were made:
1. The old implementation of memcpy copied the first 16-bytes as
soon as the size of data was determined to be greater than 32 bytes.
For memcpy code to also work when copying small/medium overlapping
data, the first load and store was moved to the large copy case.
2. Medium memcpy case no longer assumes that 16 bytes were already
copied and uses 8 registers to copy up to 128 bytes.
3. Small case for memmove was enlarged to that of memcpy, which is
less than or equal to 32 bytes.
4. Medium case for memmove was enlarged to that of memcpy, which is
less than or equal to 128 bytes.
Other changes include:
1. Improve alignment of existing loop bodies.
2. 'Delouse' memmove and memcpy input arguments. Make sure that
upper 32-bits of input registers are zeroed if unused.
3. Do one more iteration in memmove loops and reduce the number of
copies made from the start/end of the buffer, depending on
the direction of the memmove loop.
Benchmarking:
Looking at the results from bench-memcpy-random.out, we can see that
now memmove_falkor is about 5% faster than memcpy_falkor_old, while
memmove_falkor_old was more than 15% slower. The memcpy implementation
remained largely unmodified, so there is no significant performance
change.
The reason for such a significant memmove performance gain is the
increase of the upper bound on the small copy case to 32 bytes and
the increase of the upper bound on the medium copy case to 128 bytes.
