Issue Description:

Swift builds on Linux aarch64. Here are the results of running the primary testsuite (`ninja check-swift`):

Failing Tests (20):
    Swift :: 1_stdlib/FloatingPointIR.swift
    Swift :: 1_stdlib/Interval.swift
    Swift :: 1_stdlib/Optional.swift
    Swift :: 1_stdlib/Range.swift
    Swift :: 1_stdlib/Reflection.swift
    Swift :: 1_stdlib/VarArgs.swift
    Swift :: Driver/subcommands.swift
    Swift :: IRGen/autorelease.sil
    Swift :: IRGen/c_layout.sil
    Swift :: IRGen/objc_simd.sil
    Swift :: Interpreter/archetype_casts.swift
    Swift :: Interpreter/generic_class.swift
    Swift :: Interpreter/generic_struct.swift
    Swift :: Interpreter/protocol_extensions.swift
    Swift :: Interpreter/protocol_lookup.swift
    Swift :: Interpreter/slices.swift
    Swift :: Parse/BOM.swift
    Swift :: Prototypes/CollectionsMoveIndices.swift
    Swift :: Prototypes/FloatingPoint.swift
    Swift :: Prototypes/TextFormatting.swift

(full logs attached)

One of the issues is that existentials of types defined in the standard library don't work: the value witness table pointer in the struct type metadata is null.

Here's a minimal reproducer:

$ cat crash.swift
protocol P {
  func setValue()
}

extension Bool : P {
  func setValue() {}
}

func zzz() {
  var someP: P = true
  someP.setValue()
}

zzz()

gdb:

   0x0000000000400be4 <+72>:    ldur    x10, [x9,#-8] // load the value witness table pointer

   0x0000000000400bf0 <+84>:    blr x10

What is strange though is that somehow the resulting binary tries to define metadata symbol, but in BSS (?!)

$ nm crash | grep _TMSb
0000000000411338 B _TMSb

The definition does not exist in the IR.

The symbol looks fine in the library though:

$ nm ./build/Ninja-ReleaseAssert/swift-linux-aarch64/lib/swift/linux/libswiftCore.so | grep _TMSb
00000000003db4f8 D _TMSb

I suspect a bug in binutils.

This is still broken in binutils 2.26, and broken in gold.

Any news on this? I see some traces of support and, with a patched binutils, building 3.1.1 succeeds, but there are still failed tests.

Comment by Adam Duracz (JIRA)

Let me elaborate. I am working in a DARPA-funded project that is developing a system that depends on having Swift running on an aarch64-based hardware platform running 64-bit Ubuntu Linux 16.04. So far, after patching binutils on the system, we have been able to successfully build Swift, but see 40+ failing test cases (see swift-3.0.2-test.log) when running the Swift test suite. Our system relies on Swift Package Manager, so Swift 3.x is a requirement. Do you know of any way of getting this running on the target platform? We are currently trying to compile a 32-bit version, after seeing signs of success of doing so on a 64-bit RPi platform. Also, if you are aware of the state/perspective of adding support for this at Apple, that would be very helpful.

After a suggestion from @hpux735 that several of the failures seem related to reflection, we are planning to start looking at the 1_stdlib/Mirror.swift failure first.

There is a CI project going to build Swift on arm64, through the Works on Arm project.

WorksOnArm/equinix-metal-arm64-cluster#62 is the open issue, and currently we're blocked on SR-2239 https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-2239 `CVaListPointer` does not gets converted to `va_list` on `aarch64`
