For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
This patch upstreams support for the Armv8.6-a Matrix Multiplication
Extension. A summary of the features can be found here:
https://community.arm.com/developer/ip-products/processors/b/processors-ip-blog/posts/arm-architecture-developments-armv8-6-a
This patch includes:
- Assembly support for AArch64 only (no SVE or Neon)
- Intrinsics Support for AArch64 Armv8.6a Matrix Multiplication Instructions (No bfloat16 matrix multiplication)
No IR types or C Types are needed for this extension.
This is part of a patch series, starting with BFloat16 support and
the other components in the armv8.6a extension (in previous patches
linked in phabricator)
