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.

In order for the runtime on AIX to find the compact unwind section(EHInfo table),
we would need to set the following on the traceback table:
The 6th byte's longtbtable field to true to signal there is an Extended TB Table Flag.
The Extended TB Table Flag to be 0x08 to signal there is an exception handling info presents.
Emit the offset between ehinfo TC entry and TOC base after all other optional portions of traceback table.

Summary:
AIX uses the existing EH infrastructure in clang and llvm.
The major differences would be
1. AIX do not have CFI instructions.
2. AIX uses a new personality routine, named __xlcxx_personality_v1.
It doesn't use the GCC personality rountine, because the
interoperability is not there yet on AIX.
3. AIX do not use eh_frame sections. Instead, it would use a eh_info
section (compat unwind section) to store the information about
personality routine and LSDA data address.

SUMMARY:
In IBM compiler xlclang , there is an option -fnovisibility which suppresses visibility. For more details see: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGH3R_16.1.0/com.ibm.xlcpp161.aix.doc/compiler_ref/opt_visibility.html.
We need to add the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility for compatibility with the IBM AIX OS (as the option is enabled by default in AIX). With this option llvm does not emit any visibility attribute to ASM or XCOFF object file.
The option only work on the AIX OS, for other non-AIX OS using the option will report an unsupported options error.
In AIX OS:
1.1 the option -mignore-xcoff-visibility is enabled by default , if there is not -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command .
1.2 if there is -fvisibility=* explicitly but not -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. it will generate visibility attributes.
1.3 if there are both -fvisibility=* and -mignore-xcoff-visibility explicitly in the clang command. The option "-mignore-xcoff-visibility" wins , it do not emit the visibility attribute.
The option -mignore-xcoff-visibility has no effect on visibility attribute when compile with -emit-llvm option to generated LLVM IR.

Summary:
Some design decision worth noting about:
I've noticed a recent mailing discussing about why string literal is
not affected by -fdata-sections for ELF target:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-September/145121.html
But on AIX, our linker could not split the mergeable string like other target.
So I think it would make more sense for us to emit separate csect for
every mergeable string in -fdata-sections mode,
as there might not be other ways for linker to do garbage collection
on unused mergeable string.

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.
Summary:
`AsmPrinter::emitGlobalIndirectSymbol` is dependent on
`MCStreamer::emitAssignment` to produce `.set` directives for alias
symbols; however, the `.set` pseudo-op on AIX is documented as not
usable with external relocatable terms or expressions, which limits its
applicability in generating alias symbols.
Disable generating aliases on AIX until a different implementation
strategy is available.

Tail Calls were initially disabled for PC Relative code because it was not safe
to make certain assumptions about the tail calls (namely that all compiled
functions no longer used the TOC pointer in R2). However, once all of the
TOC pointer references have been removed it is safe to tail call everything
that was tail called prior to the PC relative additions as well as a number of
new cases.
For example, it is now possible to tail call indirect functions as there is no
need to save and restore the TOC pointer for indirect functions if the caller
is marked as may clobber R2 (st_other=1). For the same reason it is now also
possible to tail call functions that are external.

AIX symbol have qualname and unqualified name. The stock getSymbol

So we should try to address this problem in the callee

lowerConstant behavior.

There was another issue introduced by this commit that the OP
initially missed. Namely, for functions that are free to use
R2 as a callee-saved register, we emit a TOC expression based
on the address of the GEP label without emitting the GEP label.
Since we only emit such expressions for the large code model, this
issue only surfaced there.
I have confirmed that with this fix, the kernel build is successful
with target "all".
This is a fix for the previous patch 6c4b40def7.
In some cases it may be possible to have the compiler produce st_other=1 without
the compiler using mcpu=future which should not be the case. This patch adds a
guard to make sure that if we are using st_other=1 then we are also compiling
for future CPU.
On PowerPC most functions require a valid TOC pointer.
This is the case because either the function itself needs to use this
pointer to access the TOC or because other functions that are called
from that function expect a valid TOC pointer in the register R2.
The main exception to this is leaf functions that do not access the TOC
since they are guaranteed not to need a valid TOC pointer.
This patch introduces a feature that will allow more functions to not
require a valid TOC pointer in R2.

1. Rely on getFragment().getParent() to get csect from labels.
