[PATCH liburing v4 00/10] aarch64 support

[Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>]

From: Ammar Faizi <ammarfaizi2@gnuweeb.org>

Hi Jens,

This is v4 revision of aarch64 support.

This series contains nolibc support for aarch64 and one extra irrelevant
cleanup (patch #1). The missing bit from aarch64 is get_page_size()
which is a bit complicated to implement without libc.

aarch64 supports three values of page size: 4K, 16K, and 64K which are
selected at kernel compilation time. Therefore, we can't hard code the
page size for this arch. In this series we utilize open(), read() and
close() syscall to find the page size from /proc/self/auxv.

The auxiliary vector contains information about the page size, it is
located at `AT_PAGESZ` keyval pair.

For more details about the auxv data structure, check the link below.

There are 10 patches in this series. Summary:

- Patch 1 is just a trivial changelog fix.
- Patch 2 and 3 are to add open() and read() syscall.
- Patch 4 is to remove __INTERNAL__LIBURING_SYSCALL_H checks.
- Patch 5 is to add get_page_size() function.
- Patch 6 is just a trivial style fixup for #ifdef and friends.
- Patch 7 is to enable the nolibc support for aarch64.
- Patch 8 is to add nolibc test.
- Patch 9 is for GitHub bot build.
- Patch 10 is to update the CHANGELOG to note aarch64 nolibc support.

I have built it with GitHub bot and it compiles just fine. But I don't
have an aarch64 machine to run the tests. Since you are using aarch64,
I can rely on you to test it.

How to test this?

  make clean;
  ./configure --nolibc;
  make -j8;

  ldd src/liburing.so.2.3;
  # Make sure you don't see libc.so from the `ldd` command.

  make runtests;

Please give it a test, thanks!

## Changelog

v3 -> v4:
  - Simplify __get_page_size() function.
  - Change __sys_read() return type from int to ssize_t.
  - Append Reviewed-by tags from Alviro Iskandar Setiawan.
  - Fix git am complain: space before tab in indent.

v2 -> v3:
  - No need to init the static var to zero.
  - Split style fixup into a separate patch.
  - Add nolibc test to test get_page_size() function.
  - Use __NR_openat when __NR_open is not defined on the arch.
  - Split open/read/close in get_page_size() into a new function.
  - Cache the get_page_size() fallback value when we fail on the
    syscalls.

v1 -> v2:
  - Drop aarch64 renaming directory patch.
  - Fallback the page size to 4K if we fail to get it.
  - Cache the page size after we read it from /proc/self/auxv.
  - Massage commit messages.
  - Note aarch64 nolibc support in CHANGELOG.
