According to the SystemZ ABI, 128-bit integer types should be
passed and returned via implicit reference. However, this is
not currently implemented at the LLVM IR level for the i128
type. This does not matter when compiling C/C++ code, since
clang will implement the implicit reference itself.
However, it turns out that when calling libgcc helper routines
operating on 128-bit integers, LLVM will use i128 argument and
return value types; the resulting code is not compatible with
the ABI used in libgcc, leading to crashes (see PR26559).
This should be simple to fix, except that i128 currently is not
even a legal type for the SystemZ back end. Therefore, common
code will already split arguments and return values into multiple
parts. The bulk of this patch therefore consists of detecting
such parts, and correctly handling passing via implicit reference
of a value split into multiple parts. If at some time in the
future, i128 becomes a legal type, this code can be removed again.
This fixes PR26559.
