The nolibc tests are not real kselftests, they work differently and
provide a different interface. Users trying to use them like real
selftests may be confused and the tests are not executed by CI systems.
To make space for an integration with the kselftest framework, move the
custom tests out of the way.
The custom tests are still useful to keep as they provide functionality
not provided by kselftests.

nolibc only supports symbol-based stackprotectors, based on the global
variable __stack_chk_guard. Support for this differs between
architectures and toolchains. Some use the symbol mode by default, some
require a flag to enable it and some don't support it at all.
Before the nolibc test Makefile required the availability of
"-mstack-protector-guard=global" to enable stackprotectors.
While this flag makes sure that the correct mode is available it doesn't
work where the correct mode is the only supported one and therefore the
flag is not implemented.
Switch to a more dynamic probing mechanism.
This correctly enables stack protectors for mips, loongarch and m68k.

This is used in various selftests and will be handy when integrating
those with nolibc.
Not all configurations support namespaces, so skip the tests where
necessary. Also if the tests are running without privileges.
Enable the namespace configuration for those architectures where it is not
enabled by default.

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.

Some targets use the test kernel configuration.
Executing defconfig in the same make invocation as those targets results
in errors as the configuration may be in an inconsistent state during
reconfiguration.
Avoid this by introducing ordering dependencies between the defconfig
and some other targets.

Makefile.include can modify CC and CFLAGS for usage with clang.
Make use of it.
Makefile.include is currently used to handle the O= variable.
This is incompatible with the LLVM= handling as for O= it has to be
included as early as possible, while for LLVM= it needs to be included
after CFLAGS are set up.
To avoid this incompatibility, switch the O= handling to custom logic.

The nolibc-test Makefile includes various other Makefiles from the tree.
At first these are included with relative paths like
"../../../build/Build.include" but as soon as $(srctree) is set up,
the inclusions use that instead to build full paths.
To keep the style of inclusions consistent, perform the setup
$(srctree) as early as possible and use it for all inclusions.

MIPS requires some extra instructions to set up the $gp register for the

This isn't needed for non-PIC builds, but this patch enables the code
unconditionally to prevent bitrot.
Also enable PIC in one of the test configurations for ongoing

When the initramfs is embedded into the kernel each rebuild of it will
trigger a full kernel relink and all the expensive postprocessing steps.
Currently nolibc-test and therefore the initramfs are always rebuild,
even without source changes, leading to lots of slow kernel relinks.
Instead of linking the initramfs into the kernel assemble it manually
and pass it explicitly to qemu.
This avoids all of the kernel relinks.

Kernel uses ARCH=powerpc for both 32-bit and 64-bit PowerPC, here adds a
ppc64 variant for big endian 64-bit PowerPC, users can pass XARCH=ppc64
to test it.
The powernv machine of qemu-system-ppc64 is used with
powernv_be_defconfig.
As the document [1] shows:
PowerNV (as Non-Virtualized) is the “bare metal” platform using the
OPAL firmware. It runs Linux on IBM and OpenPOWER systems and it can be
used as an hypervisor OS, running KVM guests, or simply as a host OS.
Notes,
- differs from little endian 64-bit PowerPC, vmlinux is used instead of
zImage, because big endian zImage [2] only boot on qemu with x-vof=on
(added from qemu v7.0) and a fixup patch [3] for qemu v7.0.51:
- since the VSX support may be disabled in kernel side, to avoid
"illegal instruction" errors due to missing VSX kernel support, let's
simply let compiler not generate vector/scalar (VSX) instructions via
the '-mno-vsx' option.
- as 'man gcc' shows, '-mmultiple' is used to generate code that uses
the load multiple word instructions and the store multiple word
instructions. Those instructions do not work when the processor is in
little-endian mode (except PPC740/PPC750), so, we only enable it
for big endian powerpc.
- for big endian ppc64, as the help message from arch/powerpc/Kconfig
shows, the V2 ABI is standard for 64-bit little-endian, but for
big-endian it is less well tested by kernel and toolchain, so, use
elfv1 as-is, no need to explicitly ask toolchain to use elfv2 here.

binary will not run on kernel with elfv2 ABI.
