[Bug dynamic-link/15128] dynamic loader may clobber floating-point parameters on AArch64


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15128

--- Comment #5 from Mikael Pettersson <mikpe at it dot uu.se> 2013-02-11 15:12:52 UTC ---
I see code for preserving vector registers in
ports/sysdeps/aarch64/dl-tlsdesc.S, but no such code in
ports/sysdeps/aarch64/dl-trampoline.S (_dl_runtime_resolve), which is where the
execution transitions from the PLT to the dynamic loader's C code.

A few archs preserve FP/SIMD registers in their _dl_runtime_resolve (SH, Alpha,
HPPA, IA64), but most don't.  Extending aarch64's _dl_runtime_resolve to
preserve FP/SIMD argument registers should also fix this bug.
