x86: Set minimum x86-64 level marker [BZ #27318]
Since the full ISA set used in an ELF binary is unknown to compiler, an x86-64 ISA level marker indicates the minimum, not maximum, ISA set required to run such an ELF binary. We never guarantee a library with an x86-64 ISA level v3 marker doesn't contain other ISAs beyond x86-64 ISA level v3, like AVX VNNI. We check the x86-64 ISA level marker for the minimum ISA set. Since -march=sandybridge enables only some ISAs in x86-64 ISA level v3, we should set the needed ISA marker to v2. Otherwise, libc is compiled with -march=sandybridge will fail to run on Sandy Bridge: $ ./elf/ld.so ./libc.so ./libc.so: (p) CPU ISA level is lower than required: needed: 7; got: 3 Set the minimum, instead of maximum, x86-64 ISA level marker should have no impact on the glibc-hwcaps directory assignment logic in ldconfig nor ld.so. (cherry picked from commit 339bf918)
