<content type='text'>
Nolibc generally uses the kernel's architecture names.
aarch64 is the only exception.

Remove the special case.
Nothing changes for the users.

The stack pointer is already aligned by the kernel to a multiple of 16.
See STACK_ROUND() in fs/binfmt_elf.c.

The manual realignment is unnecessary, drop it.

<content type='text'>
The specific attributes for the _start entrypoint are duplicated for
each architecture.
Deduplicate it into a dedicated #define into compiler.h.

For clang compatibility, the epilogue will also need to be adapted, so
move that one, too.

We can automatically detect if pselect6 is needed or not from the kernel
headers. This removes the need to manually specify it.

<title>tools/nolibc: remove the old sys_stat support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:af93807eaef689a4964fdec085c77c24b49a5560</id>
<content type='text'>
The statx manpage [1] shows that it has been supported from Linux 4.11
and glibc 2.28, the Linux support can be checked for all of the
architectures with this command:

    $ git grep -r statx v4.11 arch/ include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h \
      | grep -E "aarch64|arm|mips|s390|x86|:include/uapi"

Besides riscv and loongarch, all of the nolibc supported architectures
have added sys_statx from Linux v4.11. riscv is mainlined to v4.15,
loongarch is mainlined to v5.19, both of them use the generic unistd.h,
so, they have added sys_statx from their first mainline versions.

The current oldest stable branch is v4.14, only reserving sys_statx
still preserves compatibility with all of the supported stable branches,
So, let's remove the old arch related and dependent sys_stat support
completely.

This is friendly to the future new architecture porting.

<title>tools/nolibc: fix up startup failures for -O0 under gcc &lt; 11.1.0</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bff60150f7c464d80d86f289c056c2ad2afb3c05</id>
<content type='text'>
As gcc doc [1] shows:

  Most optimizations are completely disabled at -O0 or if an -O level is
  not set on the command line, even if individual optimization flags are
  specified.

Test result [2] shows, gcc&gt;=11.1.0 deviates from the above description,
but before gcc 11.1.0, "-O0" still forcely uses frame pointer in the
_start function even if the individual optimize("omit-frame-pointer")
flag is specified.

The frame pointer related operations will change the stack pointer (e.g.
In x86_64, an extra "push %rbp" will be inserted at the beginning of
_start) and make it differs from the one we expected, as a result, break
the whole startup function.

To fix up this issue, as suggested by Thomas, the individual "Os" and
"omit-frame-pointer" optimize flags are used together on _start function
to disable frame pointer completely even if the -O0 is set on the
command line.

    $ sed -i -e 's/__asm__  volatile ( /__asm__ volatile (  /g' tools/include/nolibc/*.h

Note, arch-s390.h uses post-tab instead of post-whitespaces, must avoid
