This is the initial set up for PowerPC64LE.
The current plan is for this arch to remain experimental for FreeBSD 13.
This started as a weekend learning project for me and kinda snowballed from
there.

hard use floating point hardware, pass registers to functions in
floating point registers.
softfp use floating point hardware, but pass registers to functions
in integer registers.
soft do floating point calcuations without using floating point
hardware. Pass arguments in integer registers.
FreeBSD 11 and newer assumes hard. 10 and earlier assumed softfp. We have no
real support, at the moment, for soft. It's untested, though, if softfp still
works.
Add a note here since this is a whack-a-doodle combination relative to all other
platforms.
softfp is likely to go away in the future because it was retained for people
using FreeBSD 10 + armv6 needing to transition more slowly from softfp -> hard
than the project. It likely is no longer needed, and may be getting in the
way of people needing 'soft' support.
bsd.cpu.mk is included by bsd.init.mk before bsd.linker.mk, so it

Summary:
This patch is to support ongoing work for replacing "GCC/BFD" by "CLANG/LLD" on
target PowerPC64 [1], by proposing a way to specify and/or locate a secondary
ld.bfd linker.
This is necessary as LLD currently doesn't support PowerPC 32 bits, so we keep
using BFD for the 32 bit stuff on PowePC64(LIB32 compatibility and
STAND/slof/loader.)
- creates LD_BFD variable pointing to ld.bfd
- use LD_BFD as linker for LIB32/compat
- Default behavior for other platforms aren't changed.

When the linker doesn't have this feature, add -mno-relax to CFLAGS

Define the feature for ld.bfd, but not lld. If lld gains relaxation
support in a newer version, we can enable it for those versions of lld
in bsd.linker.mk.

Don't depend on CPUTYPE to define powerpcspe CFLAGS, they should be set
unconditionally. This reduces duplication. Also, set some CFLAGS as
gcc-only, because clang's SPE support always uses the SPE ABI, it's not an
optional feature.
Allow ABI to be over ridden to allow (with other changes) programs to be
built targeting ABIs other than the default. This is used in CheriBSD.

The bsd.cpu.mk change is required because GNU ld assumes BSS-PLT if it

This was disabled recently due to lack of support in KDB disassembler
and DTrace FBT provider. Support for 'C'-extension to both of these was
added, so we can now enable 'C'-extension.
This reduces size of the kernel important for low-end embedded devices,
and saves cache footprint for high perfomance machines.

The OLD XSCALE stuff hasn't been useful in a while. The original
committer (cognet@) was the only one that had boards for it. He's
blessed this removal. Newer XSCALE (GUMSTIX) is for hardware that's
quite old. After discussion on arm@, it was clear there was no support
for keeping it.

It works excellent, but KDB disassembler and DTrace FBT provider for
RISC-V do lack support for it. They currently handle 4-byte instructions
only, while C-compressed ISA extension introduces 2-byte instructions
freely mixing them together.
So disable it for now.

ACFLAGS is only used in addition to CFLAGS, so setting the options in
both was redundant. However, ACFLAGS is added to the command line
after CFLAGS, so the settings from ACFLAGS were applied for assembly
files in kernel modules after the kernel-specific march/abi in CFLAGS.
As a result, the hard-float ACFLAGS in bsd.cpu.mk was overriding the
soft-float CFLAGS.gcc in sys/conf/kern.mk. In particular,
dtrace_asm.o was compiled as hard-float and the linker refused to link
dtrace.ko since its object files contained a mix of hard and soft
float.

Make armv7 as a new MACHINE_ARCH.
Copy all the places we do armv6 and add armv7 as basically an
alias. clang appears to generate code for armv7 by default. armv7 hard
float isn't supported by the the in-tree gcc, so it hasn't been
updated to have a new default.

time. Remove it from here. As far as I could tell, nothing in ports
use it (either __ARM_ARCH or __ARM_ARCH_6__ is used in all the
apatches). We do have a define for _ARM_ARCH_6, but it's mostly unused
(and will remain, since it isn't in this file).
New version is not compatible on supervisor mode with v1.9.1
(previous version).
Highlights:
o BBL (Berkeley Boot Loader) provides no initial page tables
anymore allowing us to choose VM, to build page tables manually
and enable MMU in S-mode.
o SBI interface changed.
o GENERIC kernel.
FDT is now chosen standard for RISC-V hardware description.
DTB is now provided by Spike (golden model simulator). This
allows us to introduce GENERIC kernel. However, description
for console and timer devices is not provided in DTB, so move
these devices temporary to nexus bus.
o Supervisor can't access userspace by default. Solution is to
set SUM (permit Supervisor User Memory access) bit in sstatus
register.
o Compressed extension is now turned on by default.
o External GCC 7.1 compiler used.
o _gp renamed to __global_pointer$
o Compiler -march= string is now in use allowing us to choose
required extensions (compressed, FPU, atomic, etc).

Specifically, set '-mabi=XX' in AFLAGS, CFLAGS, and LDFLAGS. This permits
building MIPS worlds and binaries with a toolchain whose default output
does not match the desired TARGET_ARCH.
_LDFLAGS (which is used with LD instead of with CC) required an update as
LD does not accept the -mabi flags (so they must be stripped from LDFLAGS
when generating _LDFLAGS). For bare uses of LD (rather than linking via
CC), the desired ABI must be set by setting an explicit linker emulation
as done in r316514 for kernels and kernel modules.

Summary:
The Freescale e500v2 PowerPC core does not use a standard FPU.
Instead, it uses a Signal Processing Engine (SPE)--a DSP-style vector processor
unit, which doubles as a FPU. The PowerPC SPE ABI is incompatible with the
stock powerpc ABI, so a new MACHINE_ARCH was created to deal with this.
Additionaly, the SPE opcodes overlap with Altivec, so these are mutually
exclusive. Taking advantage of this fact, a new file, powerpc/booke/spe.c, was
created with the same function set as in powerpc/powerpc/altivec.c, so it
becomes effectively a drop-in replacement. setjmp/longjmp were modified to save
the upper 32-bits of the now-64-bit GPRs (upper 32-bits are only accessible by
the SPE).
Note: This does _not_ support the SPE in the e500v1, as the e500v1 SPE does not
support double-precision floating point.
Also, without a new MACHINE_ARCH it would be impossible to provide binary
packages which utilize the SPE.
Additionally, no work has been done to support ports, work is needed for this.
This also means no newer gcc can yet be used. However, gcc's powerpc support
has been refactored which would make adding a powerpcspe-freebsd target very
easy.
Test Plan:
This was lightly tested on a RouterBoard RB800 and an AmigaOne A1222
(P1022-based) board, compiled against the new ABI. Base system utilities
(/bin/sh, /bin/ls, etc) still function appropriately, the system is able to boot
multiuser.
