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.

/* Below comes the architecture-specific code. For each architecture, we have
* the syscall declarations and the _start code definition. This is the only
* global part. On all architectures the kernel puts everything in the stack
* before jumping to _start just above us, without any return address (_start
* is not a function but an entry point). So at the stack pointer we find argc.
* Then argv[] begins, and ends at the first NULL. Then we have envp which
* starts and ends with a NULL as well. So envp=argv+argc+1.
