The usual way to get a 32-bit relocation is to use a constant extender which doubles the size of the instruction, 4 bytes to 8 bytes.
Another way is to put a .word32 and mix code and data within a function. The disadvantage is it's not a valid instruction encoding and jumping over it causes prefetch stalls inside the hardware.
This relocation packs a 23-bit value in to an "r0 = add(rX, #a)" instruction by overwriting the source register bits. Since r0 is the return value register, if this instruction is placed after a function call which return void, r0 will be filled with an undefined value, the prefetch won't be confused, and the callee can access the constant value by way of the link register.

We can generate the actual instructions from the intrinsics without the
need for pseudo-instructions. Also, since the intrinsics have a side-
effect in a form of a store, attempt to optimize away loads from the
store location.

[DebugInfo] Add debug locations to constant SD nodes
This adds debug location to constant nodes of Selection DAG and updates
all places that create constants to pass debug locations
(see PR13269).
Can't guarantee that all locations are correct, but in a lot of cases choice
is obvious, so most of them should be. At least all tests pass.
Tests for these changes do not cover everything, instead just check it for
SDNodes, ARM and AArch64 where it's easy to get incorrect locations on
constants.
This is not complete fix as FastISel contains workaround for wrong debug
locations, which drops locations from instructions on processing constants,
but there isn't currently a way to use debug locations from constants there
as llvm::Constant doesn't cache it (yet). Although this is a bit different
issue, not directly related to these changes.
