[PATCH 00/12] S390: Implement __fentry__


This patch series adds the runtime support in glibc for the -mfentry
gcc feature introduced in [1] and [2].

Patches 1-9 deal with avoiding clobbering %r0 when calling lazily bound
functions, so that the new __fentry__ symbol could be called with return
address in that register.

Patch 10 removes the assumption that only Intel implements __fentry__.

Patch 11 adds __fentry__ implementation.

Patch 12 is a cleanup of problems in 31-bit mcount, which are similar to
those found while implementing 64-bit __fentry__.
