v2:
- use aarch64_simd_decl_p to check for aarch64_vector_pcs.
- emit the .variant_pcs directive even for local functions.
- don't require .variant_pcs asm support in compile only tests.
- add weakref tests.

A dynamic linker with lazy binding support may need to handle vector PCS
function symbols specially, so an ELF symbol table marking was
introduced for such symbols.

Function symbol references and definitions that follow the vector PCS
are marked in the generated assembly with .variant_pcs and then the
STO_AARCH64_VARIANT_PCS st_other flag is set on the symbol in the object
file.  The marking is propagated to the dynamic symbol table by the
static linker so a dynamic linker can handle such symbols specially.

For this to work, the assembler, the static linker and the dynamic
linker has to be updated on a system.  Old assembler does not support
the new .variant_pcs directive, so a toolchain with old binutils won't
be able to compile code that references vector PCS symbols.

LGTM, but an AArch64 maintainer will need to approve.

Not your problem of course, but mind fixing the dg-do markup while
you're there?  It should be

/* { dg-do run } */

instead.  As things stand, the test only gets compiled, not run.

Thanks,
Richard

OK with Richard's change suggested below.

Hi,

Since this patch was committed (r271869), I've noticed regressions on aarch64:
FAIL:    gcc.dg/visibility-14.c scan-hidden hidden[ \t_]*foo
FAIL:    gcc.dg/visibility-15.c scan-hidden hidden[ \t_]*foo
FAIL:    gcc.dg/visibility-16.c scan-hidden hidden[ \t_]*foo
FAIL:    gcc.dg/visibility-17.c scan-hidden hidden[ \t_]*foo
FAIL:    gcc.dg/visibility-18.c scan-hidden hidden[ \t_]*foo
FAIL:    gcc.dg/visibility-19.c scan-hidden hidden[ \t_]*foo
FAIL:    gcc.dg/visibility-23.c scan-hidden hidden[ \t_]*foo

Didn't you see them when you tested the patch?

Thanks,

Christophe

sorry i missed these.

i broke asm visibility declarations for extern symbols,
i will have a fix soon.

i'd like to backport this and follow up fixes to the gcc-9 branch,
see attached patch.

OK.  I agree this makes sense since vector PCS functions were a new
feature in GCC 9 and since not backporting it could lead to silent
wrong code.
