Add a triple for powerpcle-*-*.
This is a little-endian encoding of the 32-bit PowerPC ABI, useful in certain niche situations:
1) A loader such as the FreeBSD loader which will be loading a little endian kernel. This is required for PowerPC64LE to load properly in pseries VMs.
Such a loader is implemented as a freestanding ELF32 LSB binary.
2) Userspace emulation of a 32-bit LE architecture such as x86 on 64-bit hosts such as PowerPC64LE with tools like box86 requires having a 32-bit LE toolchain and library set, as they operate by translating only the main binary and switching to native code when making library calls.
3) The Void Linux for PowerPC project is experimenting with running an entire powerpcle userland.

Summary:
The standard data emission directives (e.g. .short, .long) in the AIX assembler
have the unintended consequence of aligning their output to the natural byte
boundary. This cause problems because we aren't expecting behavior from the
Data*bitsDirectives, so the final alignment of data isn't correct in some cases
on AIX.
This patch updated the Data*bitsDirectives to use .vbyte pseudo-ops instead to emit the
data, since we will emit the .align directives as needed. We update the existing
testcases and add a test for emission of struct data.

The code to prevent using `PPCXCOFFMCAsmInfo` with little-endian targets
used an incorrect check. Also, there does not appear to be sufficient
earlier checking to prevent failing this check, so the check here is
upgraded to be a `report_fatal_error`.
`PPCAIXAsmPrinter` was also missing a check against use with
little-endian targets. This patch adds such a check in.
The setting of `MCAsmInfo` properties for XCOFF got split between
`MCAsmInfoXCOFF` and `PPCXCOFFMCAsmInfo`. Except for the properties that
are dependent on the target information being passed via the
constructor, the properties being set in `PPCXCOFFMCAsmInfo` had no
fundamental reason for being treated as specific for XCOFF on PowerPC.
Indeed, the property that might be considered more specific to PowerPC,
`NeedsFunctionDescriptors`, was set in `MCAsmInfoXCOFF`.
XCOFF being specific to PowerPC anyway, this patch consolidates the
setting of the properties into `MCAsmInfoXCOFF` except for the cases
that are dependent on the information provided via the
`PPCXCOFFMCAsmInfo` constructor.
This patch also reorders the assignments to the fields to match the
declaration order in `MCAsmInfo`.
Summary:
The AIX assembler .space directive can't take a second non-zero argument to fill
with. But LLVM emitFill currently assumes it can. We add a flag to the AsmInfo
to check if non-zero fill is supported, and if we can't zerofill non-zero values
we just splat the .byte directives.

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM

include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

Summary:
This is the first patch in the series to migrate Triple's (which are ambiguous)
to TargetTuple's (which aren't).
For the moment, TargetTuple simply passes all requests to the Triple object it
holds. Once it has replaced Triple, it will start to implement the interface in
a more suitable way.
This change makes some changes to the public C++ API. In particular,
InitMCSubtargetInfo(), createMCRelocationInfo(), and createMCSymbolizer()
now take TargetTuples instead of Triples. The other public C++ API's have
been left as-is for the moment to reduce patch size.
This commit also contains a trivial patch to clang to account for the C++ API
change. Thanks go to Pavel Labath for fixing LLDB for me.

This was already done in clang, this commit now uses the integrated
assembler as default when using LLVM tools directly.
A number of test cases using inline asm had to be adapted, either by
updating the expected output, or by using -no-integrated-as (for such
tests that deliberately use an invalid instruction in inline asm).

As a first step towards real little-endian code generation, this patch
changes the PowerPC MC layer to actually generate little-endian object
files. This involves passing the little-endian flag through the various
layers, including down to createELFObjectWriter so we actually get basic
little-endian ELF objects, emitting instructions in little-endian order,
and handling fixups and relocations as appropriate for little-endian.
The bulk of the patch is to update most test cases in test/MC/PowerPC
to verify both big- and little-endian encodings. (The only test cases
*not* updated are those that create actual big-endian ABI code, like
the TLS tests.)
Note that while the object files are now little-endian, the generated
code itself is not yet updated, in particular, it still does not adhere
to the ELFv2 ABI.

Summary:
AsmPrinter::EmitInlineAsm() will no longer use the EmitRawText() call for
targets with mature MC support. Such targets will always parse the inline
assembly (even when emitting assembly). Targets without mature MC support
continue to use EmitRawText() for assembly output.
The hasRawTextSupport() check in AsmPrinter::EmitInlineAsm() has been replaced
with MCAsmInfo::UseIntegratedAs which when true, causes the integrated assembler
to parse inline assembly (even when emitting assembly output). UseIntegratedAs
is set to true for targets that consider any failure to parse valid assembly
to be a bug. Target specific subclasses generally enable the integrated
assembler in their constructor. The default value can be overridden with
-no-integrated-as.
All tests that rely on inline assembly supporting invalid assembly (for example,
those that use mnemonics such as 'foo' or 'hello world') have been updated to
disable the integrated assembler.
Changes since review (and last commit attempt):
- Fixed test failures that were missed due to configuration of local build.
(fixes crash.ll and a couple others).
- Fixed tests that happened to pass because the local build was on X86
(should fix 2007-12-17-InvokeAsm.ll)
- mature-mc-support.ll's should no longer require all targets to be compiled.
(should fix ARM and PPC buildbots)
- Object output (-filetype=obj and similar) now forces the integrated assembler
to be enabled regardless of default setting or -no-integrated-as.
(should fix SystemZ buildbots)

The binutils assembler supports a mode called DOLLAR_DOT which treats
the dollar sign token as a reference to the current program counter if
the dollar sign doesn't precede a constant or identifier.
This commit adds a new MCAsmInfo flag stating whether or not a given
target supports this interpretation of the dollar sign token; by
default, this flag is not enabled.
Further, enable this flag for PPC. The system assembler for AIX and
binutils both support using the dollar sign in this manner.
This fixes PR17353.

A setting in MCAsmInfo defines the "assembler dialect" to use. This is used
by common code to choose between alternatives in a multi-alternative GNU
inline asm statement like the following:
__asm__ ("{sfe|subfe} %0,%1,%2" : "=r" (out) : "r" (in1), "r" (in2));
The meaning of these dialects is platform specific, and GCC defines those
for PowerPC to use dialect 0 for old-style (POWER) mnemonics and 1 for
new-style (PowerPC) mnemonics, like in the example above.
To be compatible with inline asm used with GCC, LLVM ought to do the same.
Specifically, this means we should always use assembler dialect 1 since
old-style mnemonics really aren't supported on any current platform.
However, the current LLVM back-end uses:
AssemblerDialect = 1; // New-Style mnemonics.
in PPCMCAsmInfoDarwin, and
AssemblerDialect = 0; // Old-Style mnemonics.
in PPCLinuxMCAsmInfo.
The Linux setting really isn't correct, we should be using new-style
mnemonics everywhere. This is changed by this commit.
Unfortunately, the setting of this variable is overloaded in the back-end
to decide whether or not we are on a Darwin target. This is done in
PPCInstPrinter (the "SyntaxVariant" is initialized from the MCAsmInfo
AssemblerDialect setting), and also in PPCMCExpr. Setting AssemblerDialect
to 1 for both Darwin and Linux no longer allows us to make this distinction.
Instead, this patch uses the MCSubtargetInfo passed to createPPCMCInstPrinter
to distinguish Darwin targets, and ignores the SyntaxVariant parameter.
As to PPCMCExpr, this patch adds an explicit isDarwin argument that needs
to be passed in by the caller when creating a target MCExpr. (To do so
this patch implicitly also reverts commit 184441.)

I've been comparing the object file output of LLVM's integrated
assembler against the external assembler on PowerPC, and one
area where differences still remain are in DWARF sections.
In particular, the GNU assembler generates .debug_frame and
.debug_line sections using a code alignment factor of 4, since
all PowerPC instructions have size 4 and must be aligned to a
multiple of 4. However, current MC code hard-codes a code
alignment factor of 1.
This patch changes this by adding a "minimum instruction alignment"
data element to MCAsmInfo and using this as code alignment factor.
This requires passing a MCContext into MCDwarfLineAddr::Encode
and MCDwarfLineAddr::EncodeAdvanceLoc. Note that one caller,
MCDwarfLineAddr::Write, didn't actually have that information
available. However, it turns out that this routine is in fact
never used in the whole code base, so the patch simply removes
it. If it turns out to be needed again at a later time, it
could be re-added with an updated interface.

- Darwin lied about not supporting .lcomm and turned it into zerofill in the
asm parser. Push the zerofill-conversion down into macho-specific code.
- This makes the tri-state LCOMMType enum superfluous, there are no targets
without .lcomm.
- Do proper error reporting when trying to use .lcomm with alignment on a target
that doesn't support it.
- .comm and .lcomm alignment was parsed in bytes on COFF, should be power of 2.
- Fixes PR13755 (.lcomm crashes on ELF).
