One is that AArch64 has additional restrictions on when local relocations can
be used. We have to take those into consideration when deciding to put a L
symbol in the symbol table or not.
The other is that ld64 requires the relocations to cstring to use linker
visible symbols on AArch64.
Thanks to Michael Zolotukhin for testing this!
Remove doesSectionRequireSymbols.
In an assembly expression like
bar:
.long L0 + 1
the intended semantics is that bar will contain a pointer one byte past L0.
In sections that are merged by content (strings, 4 byte constants, etc), a
single position in the section doesn't give the linker enough information.
For example, it would not be able to tell a relocation must point to the
end of a string, since that would look just like the start of the next.
The solution used in ELF to use relocation with symbols if there is a non-zero
addend.
In MachO before this patch we would just keep all symbols in some sections.
This would miss some cases (only cstrings on x86_64 were implemented) and was
inefficient since most relocations have an addend of 0 and can be represented
without the symbol.
This patch implements the non-zero addend logic for MachO too.

This adds support for parsing and emitting the SBREL relocation variant for the
ARM target. Handling this relocation variant is necessary for supporting the
full ARM ELF specification. Addresses PR22128.

There is a fair number of relocations that are part of the AAELF specification.
Simply merge the tests into a single test file, otherwise, we will end up with
far too many test files to test each relocation type. NFC.

These tests are checking the relocation generation. Use the readobj output as
it is much easier to follow when glancing over the tests.

This is equivalent to the AMDGPUTargetMachine now, but it is the
starting point for separating R600 and GCN functionality into separate
targets.
It is recommened that users start using the gcn triple for GCN-based
GPUs, because using the r600 triple for these GPUs will be deprecated in
the future.

Requires new AsmParserOperand types that detect 16-bit and 32/64-bit mode so that we choose the right instruction based on default sizing without predicates. This is necessary since predicates mess up the disassembler table building.

Tag_compatibility takes two arguments, but before this patch it would
erroneously accept just one, it now produces an error in that case.

Claim conformance to version 2.09 of the ARM ABI.
This build attribute must be emitted first amongst the build attributes when
written to an object file. This is to simplify conformance detection by
consumers.

Newer POWER cores, and the A2, support the cmpb instruction. This instruction
compares its operands, treating each of the 8 bytes in the GPRs separately,
returning a 'mask' result of 0 (for false) or -1 (for true) in each byte.
Code generation support is added, in the form of a PPCISelDAGToDAG
DAG-preprocessing routine, that recognizes patterns close to what the
instruction computes (either exactly, or related by a constant masking
operation), and generates the cmpb instruction (along with any necessary
constant masking operation). This can be expanded if use cases arise.

This is necessary to allow the disassembler to be able to handle AdSize32 instructions in 64-bit mode when address size prefix is used.
Eventually we should probably also support 'addr32' and 'addr16' in the assembler to override the address size on some of these instructions. But for now we'll just use special operand types that will lookup the current mode size to select the right instruction.

If a linker directive is already quoted, don't try to quote it again, otherwise it creates a mess.
This pops up in places like:
#pragma comment(linker,"\"/foo bar'\"")
