To avoid polluting the namespace rename __no_stack_protector to
__nolibc_no_stack_protector so its now within the nolibc umbrella.

The sys_foo() naming scheme used by the syscall wrappers may collide
with application symbols. Especially as 'sys_' is an obvious naming
scheme an application may choose for its own custom systemcall wrappers.
Avoid these conflicts by using an leading underscore which moves the
names into the implementation's namespace. This naming scheme was chosen
over a '__nolibc_' prefix, as these functions are not an implementation
detail but a documented interface meant to be used by applications.
While this may break some existing users, adapting them should be
straightforward. Given that nolibc is most-likely vendored, no
unexpected breakage should happen. No in-tree users are affected.
These conflicts happen when compiling some of the kernel selftests
with nolibc.

The naming convention of the my_syscallX() macros is a bit unfortunate.
They may conflict with application code and the name is very generic.
Switch to __nolibc_syscallX(). The leading underscores place the symbols
in the implementation-defined namespace, avoiding conflicting names.
It is also clearer that these are non-standard extensions from nolibc.

Currently the generic variants of sys_fork() and sys_vfork() differ in
both they precedence of used system calls and the usage of sys_clone()
vs sys_clone3(). While the interface of clone3() in sys_vfork() is more
consistent over different architectures, qemu-user does not support it,
making testing harder. We already handle the different clone()
interfaces for sys_fork() in the architecture-specific headers, and can
do so also for sys_vfork(). In fact SPARC already has such handling and
only s390 is currently missing.

A custom 'struct timespec' and 'struct timeval' will be necessary for
64-bit time types on 32-bit architectures. <linux/time.h> will define
other time-related types in terms of the custom 'struct timespec'.
Add custom struct definitions which for now mirror exactly the ones from
the UAPI headers, but provide the foundation for further changes.

In principle, it is possible to use nolibc for only some object files in
a program. In that case, the startup code in _start and _start_c is not
going to be used. Add the NOLIBC_NO_RUNTIME compile time option to
disable it entirely and also remove anything that depends on it.
Doing this avoids warnings from modpost for UML as the _start_c code
references the main function from the .init.text section while it is not
inside .init itself.

32-bit s390 is very close to the existing 64-bit implementation.
Some special handling is necessary as there is neither LLVM nor
QEMU support. Also the kernel itself can not build natively for 32-bit
s390, so instead the test program is executed with a 64-bit kernel.

arch-s390.h uses types from std.h, but does not include it.
Depending on the inclusion order the compilation can fail.
Include std.h explicitly to avoid these errors.

The specific attributes for the _start entrypoint are duplicated for
each architecture.
Deduplicate it into a dedicated #define into compiler.h.
For clang compatibility, the epilogue will also need to be adapted, so
move that one, too.

The statx manpage [1] shows that it has been supported from Linux 4.11
and glibc 2.28, the Linux support can be checked for all of the
architectures with this command:
$ git grep -r statx v4.11 arch/ include/uapi/asm-generic/unistd.h \
| grep -E "aarch64|arm|mips|s390|x86|:include/uapi"
Besides riscv and loongarch, all of the nolibc supported architectures
have added sys_statx from Linux v4.11. riscv is mainlined to v4.15,
loongarch is mainlined to v5.19, both of them use the generic unistd.h,
so, they have added sys_statx from their first mainline versions.
The current oldest stable branch is v4.14, only reserving sys_statx
still preserves compatibility with all of the supported stable branches,
So, let's remove the old arch related and dependent sys_stat support
completely.
This is friendly to the future new architecture porting.

As gcc doc [1] shows:
Most optimizations are completely disabled at -O0 or if an -O level is
not set on the command line, even if individual optimization flags are
specified.
Test result [2] shows, gcc>=11.1.0 deviates from the above description,
but before gcc 11.1.0, "-O0" still forcely uses frame pointer in the
_start function even if the individual optimize("omit-frame-pointer")
flag is specified.
The frame pointer related operations will change the stack pointer (e.g.
In x86_64, an extra "push %rbp" will be inserted at the beginning of
_start) and make it differs from the one we expected, as a result, break
the whole startup function.
To fix up this issue, as suggested by Thomas, the individual "Os" and
"omit-frame-pointer" optimize flags are used together on _start function
to disable frame pointer completely even if the -O0 is set on the
command line.

s390 does not support the "global" stack protector mode that is
implemented in nolibc.
Now that nolibc detects if stack protectors are enabled at runtime it
could happen that a future compiler does indeed use global mode on
and nolibc would compile but segfault at runtime.
To avoid this hypothetic case and to align s390 with the other
architectures disable stack protectors when compiling _start().

The environ is retrieved from the _start code and is easy to store at
this moment. Let's declare the variable weak and store the value into
it. By not being static it will be visible to all units. By being weak,
if some programs already declared it, they will continue to be able to
use it. This was tested on s390 both with environ inherited from
_start and extracted from envp.

The historic nolibc code did not include asm/fcntl.h and had to define
the various O_RDWR etc macros in each arch-specific file (since such
values differ between certain archs). This was found at least once to
induce bugs due to wrong definitions. Let's get rid of all of them and
include asm/nolibc.h from sys.h instead. This was verified to work
properly on all supported architectures.

The out-of-block asm() statement carrying _start does not allow the
compiler to know what section the assembly code is being emitted to,
and there's no easy way to push/pop the current section and restore
it. It sometimes causes issues depending on the include files ordering
and compiler optimizations. For example if a variable is declared
immediately before the asm() block and another one after, the compiler
assumes that the current section is still .bss and doesn't re-emit it,
making the second variable appear inside the .text section instead.
Forcing .bss at the end of the _start block doesn't work either because
at certain optimizations the compiler may reorder blocks and will make
some real code appear just after this block.
A significant number of solutions were attempted, but many of them were
still sensitive to section reordering. In the end, the best way to make
sure the compiler and assembler agree on the current section is to place
this code inside a function. Here the function is directly called _start
and configured not to emit a frame-pointer, hence to have no prologue.
If some future architectures would still emit some prologue, another
working approach consists in naming the function differently and placing
the _start label inside the asm statement. But the current solution is
simpler.
It was tested with nolibc-test at -O,-O0,-O2,-O3,-Os for arm,arm64,i386,
mips,riscv,s390 and x86_64.
