Subject: [PATCH 00/42] nolibc: update to resync with out-of-tree project

Hello Paul,

Here comes an update to the nolibc subsystem to keep it in sync with
the out-of-tree project and to bring a number of usability improvements.

The approach here consists in better splitting the layers so that
arch-specific syscall functions are now in their own files (one per
arch), then syscalls are implemented on top of this in a generic file,
then the generic libc stuff is exposed. This way it becomes easier to
add support for new architectures if needed.

I exported 3 functions as weak symbols: memset(), memmove() and abort().
For the first two ones, gcc/clang may issue calls to them and will not
always fall back to the builtin equivalent. For abort(), I've seen it
referenced by libgcc from some divide functions.

A few stdio-level functions were added (unbuffered), including a quite
limited but usable printf() which significantly eases debugging of test
programs by allowing to print return codes or pointers for example.

A few functions and syscalls like abort(), raise(), time() and usleep()
were added. More str* functions were added as well. open() now takes a
vararg on the 3rd argument so as to ease porting of existing programs.

Finally, the functions and definitions were moved to the appropriate
files as documented in their man pages when relevant, so that simple
programs which only use a few include files among stdio.h, stdlib.h,
string.h, unistd.h, errno.h, ctype.h, signal.h, time.h or types.h can
build without modification. Obviously this remains fairly limited in
scope, but for test programs that's usually fine.

I could verify that a few of my programs and that your rcutorture test
continue to work (not much surprising since most of the work only
consists in moving functions between files).

There's obviously no rush, but I preferred to resync the version here
given that Mark expressed some interest recently, and I'd hate it if
he had to add new syscalls that already existed out of tree! Comments,
suggestions and feature requests welcome as usual. If you prefer to
pull, it's also available here, on top of 5.17-rc3:

Thank you!
