Before this patch in pic 32 bit code we would add the global base register
and not load from that address. This is a really old bug, but before the
introduction of the tls attributes we would never select initial exec for
pic code.

x86 addressing modes. This allows PIE-based TLS offsets to fit directly
into an addressing mode immediate offset, which is the last remaining
code quality issue from PR12380. With this patch, that PR is completely
fixed.
To understand why this patch is correct to match these offsets into
addressing mode immediates, break it down by cases:
1) 32-bit is trivially correct, and unmodified here.
2) 64-bit non-small mode is unchanged and never matches.
3) 64-bit small PIC code which is RIP-relative is handled specially in
the match to try to fit RIP into the base register. If it fails, it
now early exits. This behavior is unchanged by the patch.
4) 64-bit small non-PIC code which is not RIP-relative continues to work
as it did before. The reason these immediates are safe is because the
ABI ensures they fit in small mode. This behavior is unchanged.
5) 64-bit small PIC code which is *not* using RIP-relative addressing.
This is the only case changed by the patch, and the primary place you
see it is in TLS, either the win64 section offset TLS or Linux
local-exec TLS model in a PIC compilation. Here the ABI again ensures
that the immediates fit because we are in small mode, and any other
operations required due to the PIC relocation model have been handled
externally to the Wrapper node (extra loads etc are made around the
wrapper node in ISelLowering).
I've tested this as much as I can comparing it with GCC's output, and
everything appears safe. I discussed this with Anton and it made sense
to him at least at face value. That said, if there are issues with PIC
code after this patch, yell and we can revert it.

optimizations which are valid for position independent code being linked
into a single executable, but not for such code being linked into
a shared library.
I discussed the design of this with Eric Christopher, and the decision
was to support an optional bit rather than a completely separate
relocation model. Fundamentally, this is still PIC relocation, its just
that certain optimizations are only valid under a PIC relocation model
when the resulting code won't be in a shared library. The simplest path
to here is to expose a single bit option in the TargetOptions. If folks
have different/better designs, I'm all ears. =]
I've included the first optimization based upon this: changing TLS
models to the *Exec models when PIE is enabled. This is the LLVM
component of PR12380 and is all of the hard work.
