This problem is exposed by D104598, after it tail-merges `ret` in
`@test_inline_constraint_S_label`, the verifier would start complaining
`invalid operand for inline asm constraint 'S'`.
Essentially, taking address of a block is mismodelled in IR.
It should probably be an explicit instruction, a first one in block,
that isn't identical to any other instruction of the same type,
so that it can't be hoisted.
This patch re-introduces the "S" inline assembler constraint. This matches
an absolute symbolic address or a label reference. The primary use case is
asm("adrp %0, %1\n\t"
"add %0, %0, :lo12:%1" : "=r"(addr) : "S"(&var));
I say re-introduces as it seems like "S" was implemented in the original
AArch64 backend, but it looks like it wasn't carried forward to the merged
backend. The original implementation had A and L modifiers that could be
used to print ":lo12:" to the string. It looks like gcc doesn't use these
and :lo12: is expected to be written in the inline assembly string so I've
not implemented A and L. Clang already supports the S modifier.
