My ioc.php content:

In Laravel 5 docs not mention the ioc.php...
Where I can place these functions?
Note that these functions are used in all views.

Generally, your individual services should have their own ServiceProvder. These can be placed in any particular directory, and you can register all your service providers in your config/app.php to be automatically loaded and run.
You'll see in your config/app.php that a base Laravel project pre-registers some providers for your commonly used facades like DB.
Just make sure that the names of your service providers follow the PSR-4 standard so that Laravel's auto-loader can correctly resolve the class!
If you're looking for the docs on "IOC" in Laravel 5, it is now called the "Service Container" - here are the docs.
