Zhangjin Wu 872dbfa032 tools/nolibc: silence ppc64 compile warnings
Silence the following warnings reported by the new -Wall -Wextra options
with pure assembly code.

Since only elfv2 ABI requires to save the TOC/GOT pointer to r2
register, when using elfv1 ABI, the old C code is simply ignored by the
compiler, but the compiler can not ignore the inline assembly code and
will introduce build failure or running segfaults. So, let's further
only add the new assembly code for elfv2 ABI with the checking of
_CALL_ELF == 2.

Zhangjin Wu e45ce88e65 tools/nolibc: add support for powerpc64
This follows the 64-bit PowerPC ABI [1], refers to the slides: "A new
ABI for little-endian PowerPC64 Design & Implementation" [2] and the
musl code in arch/powerpc64/crt_arch.h.

First, stdu and clrrdi are used instead of stwu and clrrwi for
powerpc64.

Second, the stack frame size is increased to 32 bytes for powerpc64, 32
bytes is the minimal stack frame size supported described in [2].

Besides, the TOC pointer (GOT pointer) must be saved to r2.

This works on both little endian and big endian 64-bit PowerPC.

Zhangjin Wu 0cb0675ec3 tools/nolibc: add support for powerpc
Both syscall declarations and _start code definition are added for
powerpc to nolibc.

Like mips, powerpc uses a register (exactly, the summary overflow bit)
to record the error occurred, and uses another register to return the
value [1]. So, the return value of every syscall declaration must be
normalized to match the __sysret() helper, return -value when there is
an error, otheriwse, return value directly.

Glibc and musl use different methods to check the summary overflow bit,
glibc (sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/sysdep.h) saves the cr register
to r0 at first, and then check the summary overflow bit in cr0:

    mfcr r0
    r0 & (1 << 28) ? -r3 : r3

    -->

    10003c14:       7c 00 00 26     mfcr    r0
    10003c18:       74 09 10 00     andis.  r9,r0,4096
    10003c1c:       41 82 00 08     beq     0x10003c24
    10003c20:       7c 63 00 d0     neg     r3,r3

Musl (arch/powerpc/syscall_arch.h) directly checks the summary overflow
bit with the 'bns' instruction, it is smaller:

    /* no summary overflow bit means no error, return value directly */
    bns+ 1f
    /* otherwise, return negated value */
    neg r3, r3
    1:

    -->

    10000418:       40 a3 00 08     bns     0x10000420
    1000041c:       7c 63 00 d0     neg     r3,r3

Like musl, Linux (arch/powerpc/include/asm/vdso/gettimeofday.h) uses the
same method for do_syscall_2() too.

Here applies the second method to get smaller size.
