Toma Tabacu c6ce0749ad [mips] [IAS] Do not generate redundant move when expanding lw/sw with symbol.
Summary:
Even though there is no 2nd register operand in the "lw/sw $8, symbol" case, we still try to find one, 
and we end up with $0, which makes us generate an unnecessary "addu $8, $8, $0" (a.k.a. "move $8, $8").

We can avoid this by checking if the 2nd register operand is different from $0, before generating the addu.

Toma Tabacu 0d64b20c03 [mips] Add assembler support for the "la $reg,symbol" pseudo-instruction.
Summary:
This pseudo-instruction allows the programmer to load an address from a symbolic expression into a register.

Patch by David Chisnall.
His work was sponsored by: DARPA, AFRL

I've made some minor changes to the original, such as improving the formatting and adding some comments, and I've also added a test case.

Matheus Almeida 78f8b7b652 [mips] Fix expansion of memory operation if destination register is not a GPR.
Summary:
The assembler tries to reuse the destination register for memory operations whenever
it can but it's not possible to do so if the destination register is not a GPR.

Example:
  ldc1 $f0, sym
should expand to:
  lui $at, %hi(sym)
  ldc1 $f0, %lo(sym)($at)

It's entirely wrong to expand to:
  lui $f0, %hi(sym)
  ldc1 $f0, %lo(sym)($f0)

Matheus Almeida 29e254f849 [mips] Access $at only if necessary.
Summary:
This patch doesn't really change the logic behind expandMemInst but it allows
us to assemble .S files that use .set noat with some macros. For example:

.set noat
lw $k0, offset($k1)

Can expand to:
lui	$k0, %hi(offset)
addu	$k0, $k0, $k1
lw	$k0, %lo(offset)($k0)

with no need to access $at.

Jack Carter 9e65aa35a0 This patch that enables the Mips assembler to use symbols for offset for instructions
This patch uses the generated instruction info tables to 
identify memory/load store instructions.
After successful matching and based on the operand type 
and size, it generates additional instructions to the output.

Jack Carter 543fdf8544 Initial assembler implementation of Mips load address macro
This patch provides initial implementation of load address 
macro instruction for Mips. We have implemented two kinds 
of expansions with their variations depending on the size 
of immediate operand:

 1) load address with immediate value directly:
    * la d,j => addiu d,$zero,j   (for -32768 <= j <= 65535)
    * la d,j => lui d,hi16(j)
                ori d,d,lo16(j)   (for any other 32 bit value of j)

 2) load load address with register offset value
    * la d,j(s) => addiu d,s,j     (for -32768 <= j <= 65535)
    * la d,j(s) => lui d,hi16(j)   (for any other 32 bit value of j)
                   ori d,d,lo16(j)
                   addu d,d,s

This patch does not cover the case when the address is loaded 
from the value of the label or function.

Jack Carter 30a5982e75 Implement methods that enable expansion of load immediate
macro instruction (li) in the assembler.

We have identified three possible expansions depending on 
the size of immediate operand:
  1) for 0 ≤ j ≤ 65535.
     li d,j =>
     ori d,$zero,j

  2) for −32768 ≤ j < 0.
     li d,j =>
     addiu d,$zero,j

  3) for any other value of j that is representable as a 32-bit integer.
     li d,j =>
     lui d,hi16(j)
     ori d,d,lo16(j)

All of the above have been implemented in ths patch.
