Bring CloudABI support back in sync with HEAD.
- Add support for running 32-bit executables on amd64, armv6 and i386.
- As these new architectures require the use of the vDSO, merge back vDSO support for 64-bit executables running on amd64 and arm64 as well. This has the advantage that support for vDSO-less execution can be phased out when 11.0 becomes unsupported, as opposed to 11.x.
This change has been tested by running the cloudlibc unit tests on all supported architectures, which seems to work fine. |

Add very preliminary support for CloudABI for ARMv6.
In order to make CloudABI work on ARMv6, start off by copying over the sysvec for ARM64 and adjust it to use 32-bit registers. Also add code for fetching arguments from the stack if needed, as there are fewer register than on ARM64.
Also import the vDSO that is needed to invoke system calls. This vDSO uses the intra procedure call register (ip) to store the system call number. This is a bit simpler than what native FreeBSD does, as FreeBSD uses r7, while preserving the original r7 into ip.
This sysvec seems to be complete enough to start CloudABI processes. These processes are capable of linking in the vDSO and are therefore capable of executing (most?) system calls successfully. Unfortunately, the biggest show stopper is still that TLS is completely broken:
- The linker used by CloudABI, LLD, still has troubles with some of the relocations needed for TLS. See LLVM bug 30218 for more details.
- Whereas FreeBSD uses the tpidruro register for TLS, for CloudABI I want to make use of tpidrurw, so that userspace can modify the base address directly. This is needed for efficient emulation. Unfortunately, this register doesn't seem to be preserved across context switches yet.
