This patch adds support for the z13 architecture type. For compatibility
with GCC, a pair of options -mvx / -mno-vx can be used to selectively
enable/disable use of the vector facility.
When the vector facility is present, we default to the new vector ABI.
This is characterized by two major differences:
- Vector types are passed/returned in vector registers
(except for unnamed arguments of a variable-argument list function).
- Vector types are at most 8-byte aligned.
The reason for the choice of 8-byte vector alignment is that the hardware
is able to efficiently load vectors at 8-byte alignment, and the ABI only
guarantees 8-byte alignment of the stack pointer, so requiring any higher
alignment for vectors would require dynamic stack re-alignment code.
However, for compatibility with old code that may use vector types, when
*not* using the vector facility, the old alignment rules (vector types
are naturally aligned) remain in use.
These alignment rules are not only implemented at the C language level,
but also at the LLVM IR level. This is done by selecting a different
DataLayout string depending on whether the vector ABI is in effect or not.
Based on a patch by Richard Sandiford.

Add Tool and ToolChain support for clang to target the NaCl OS using the NaCl
SDK for x86-32, x86-64 and ARM.
Includes nacltools::Assemble and Link which are derived from gnutools. They
are similar to Linux but different enought that they warrant their own class.
Also includes a NaCl_TC in ToolChains derived from Generic_ELF with library
and include paths suitable for an SDK and independent of the system tools.

Thumb1 has legitimate reasons for preferring 32-bit alignment of types
i1/i8/i16, since the 16-bit encoding of "add rD, sp, #imm" requires #imm to be
a multiple of 4. However, this is a trade-off betweem code size and RAM usage;
the DataLayout string is not the best place to represent it even if desired.
So this patch removes the extra Thumb requirements, hopefully making ARM and
Thumb completely compatible in this respect.
llvm-svn: 219735
Before, ARM and Thumb mode code had different preferred alignments, which could
lead to some rather unexpected results. There's justification for reducing it
from the default 64-bits (wasted space), but I don't think there is for going
below 32-bits.
There's no actual ABI change here, just to reassure people.

A few (mostly CodeGen) parts of Clang were tightly coupled to the
AArch64 backend. Now that it's gone, they will not even compile.
I've also deduplicated RUN lines in many of the AArch64 tests. This
might improve "make check-all" time noticably: some of those NEON
tests were monsters.

Right now clang produces the same DataLayout for all of them, but it could, for
example, add 'n' specifications when the end architecture is given.
No functionality change, this should just make future changes easier to read.
llvm-svn: 197549
This has no functionality change as clang adds explicit alignment info for
byval arguments. The only difference is that now the clang produced
DataLayout string for AArch64 is identical to the LLVM produced one.
llvm-svn: 197538
This completes the cleanup/refactoring of DataLayout on the clang side. Next
is figuring out the differences between the llvm and clang produced strings
llvm-svn: 197442
These right now just test that the same string is present in two files, but will
become more useful as clang's handling of DataLayout is refactored.
llvm-svn: 197347
- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
