Add ELF relocations for the following fixups:
fixup_thumb_adr_pcrel_10 -> R_ARM_THM_PC8

fixup_t2_adr_pcrel_12 -> R_ARM_THM_PREL_11_0
fixup_t2_ldst_pcrel_12 -> R_ARM_THM_PC12
While these relocations are short-ranged there is support in the open
source ELF linker's in binutils and soon to be in LLD. MC will no longer
resolve pc-relative fixups to global symbols due to interpositioning
concerns. We can handle these at link time by implementing the relocations.
The R_ARM_THM_PC8 has some extra encoding rules for addends that llvm-mc
sidesteps by not supporting addends for these instructions, using the wide
Thumb 2 instruction if it is available. I think that this is a reasonable
compromise given that these are rare.
This partiall reverts D72892, the Thumb fixups no longer need to be
evaluated at assembly time.

Summary:
This patch adds assembly-level support for a new Arm M-profile
architecture extension, Custom Datapath Extension (CDE).
A brief description of the extension is available at
https://developer.arm.com/architectures/instruction-sets/custom-instructions
The latest specification for CDE is currently a beta release and is
available at
https://static.docs.arm.com/ddi0607/aa/DDI0607A_a_armv8m_arm_supplement_cde.pdf
CDE allows chip vendors to add custom CPU instructions. The CDE
instructions re-use the same encoding space as existing coprocessor
instructions (such as MRC, MCR, CDP etc.). Each coprocessor in range
cp0-cp7 can be configured as either general purpose (GCP) or custom
datapath (CDEv1). This configuration is defined by the CPU vendor and
is provided to LLVM using 8 subtarget features: cdecp0 ... cdecp7.
The semantics of CDE instructions are implementation-defined, but the
instructions are guaranteed to be pure (that is, they are stateless,
they do not access memory or any registers except their explicit
inputs/outputs).
CDE requires the CPU to support at least Armv8.0-M mainline
architecture. CDE includes 3 sets of instructions:
* Instructions that operate on general purpose registers and NZCV
flags
* Instructions that operate on the S or D register file (require
either FP or MVE extension)
* Instructions that operate on the Q register file, require MVE
The user-facing names that can be specified on the command line are
the same as the 8 subtarget feature names. For example:
$ clang -target arm-none-none-eabi -march=armv8m.main+cdecp0+cdecp3
tells the compiler that the coprocessors 0 and 3 are configured as
CDEv1 and the remaining coprocessors are configured as GCP (which is
the default).

This is how it should've been and brings it more in line with
std::string_view. There should be no functional change here.
This is mostly mechanical from a custom clang-tidy check, with a lot of
manual fixups. It uncovers a lot of minor inefficiencies.
This doesn't actually modify StringRef yet, I'll do that in a follow-up.
Summary:
In NEON, the immediate forms of VBIC and VORR are each represented as
a single MC instruction, which takes its immediate operand already
encoded in a NEON-friendly format: 8 data bits, plus some control bits
indicating how to expand them into a full vector.
In MVE, we represented immediate VBIC and VORR as four separate MC
instructions each, for an 8-bit immediate shifted left by 0, 8, 16 or
24 bits. For each one, the value of the immediate operand is in the
'natural' form, i.e. the numerical value that would actually be BICed
or ORRed into each vector lane (and also the same value shown in
assembly). For example, MVE_VBICIZ16v4i32 takes an operand such as
0xab0000, which NEON would represent as 0xab | (control bits << 8).
The MVE approach is superficially nice (it makes assembly input and
output easy, and it's also nice if you're manually constructing
immediate VBICs). But it turns out that it's better for isel if we
make the NEON and MVE instructions work the same, because the
ARMISD::VBICIMM and VORRIMM node types already encode their immediate
into the NEON format, so it's easier if we can just use it.
Also, this commit reduces the total amount of code rather than
increasing it, which is surely an indication that it really is simpler
to do it this way!

A new macro called LLVM_EXTERNAL_VISIBILITY has been added to mark symbols in these

This patch reduces the number of public symbols in libLLVM.so by about

make abi checker tools, like abidiff require less memory when analyzing

One side-effect of this change is that for builds with
LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON and LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON some unittests that
access symbols that are no longer public will need to be statically linked.

printInst prints a branch/call instruction as `b offset` (there are many
variants on various targets) instead of `b address`.
It is a convention to use address instead of offset in most external
symbolizers/disassemblers. This difference makes `llvm-objdump -d`
output unsatisfactory.
Add `uint64_t Address` to printInst(), so that it can pass the argument to
printInstruction(). `raw_ostream &OS` is moved to the last to be
consistent with other print* methods.
The next step is to pass `Address` to printInstruction() (generated by
tablegen from the instruction set description). We can gradually migrate
targets to print addresses instead of offsets.
In any case, downstream projects which don't know `Address` can pass 0 as
the argument.

Summary:
Most libraries are defined in the lib/ directory but there are also a
few libraries defined in tools/ e.g. libLLVM, libLTO. I'm defining
"Component Libraries" as libraries defined in lib/ that may be included in
libLLVM.so. Explicitly marking the libraries in lib/ as component
libraries allows us to remove some fragile checks that attempt to
differentiate between lib/ libraries and tools/ libraires:
1. In tools/llvm-shlib, because
llvm_map_components_to_libnames(LIB_NAMES "all") returned a list of
all libraries defined in the whole project, there was custom code
needed to filter out libraries defined in tools/, none of which should
be included in libLLVM.so. This code assumed that any library
defined as static was from lib/ and everything else should be
excluded.
With this change, llvm_map_components_to_libnames(LIB_NAMES, "all")
only returns libraries that have been added to the LLVM_COMPONENT_LIBS
global cmake property, so this custom filtering logic can be removed.
Doing this also fixes the build with BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
and LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON.
2. There was some code in llvm_add_library that assumed that
libraries defined in lib/ would not have LLVM_LINK_COMPONENTS or
ARG_LINK_COMPONENTS set. This is only true because libraries
defined lib lib/ use LLVMBuild.txt and don't set these values.
This code has been fixed now to check if the library has been
explicitly marked as a component library, which should now make it
easier to remove LLVMBuild at some point in the future.
I have tested this patch on Windows, MacOS and Linux with release builds
and the following combinations of CMake options:
- "" (No options)
- -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON
- -DLLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB=ON
- -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
- -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON -DLLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB=ON

These relocations are specified by the ARM EHABI (section 6.3). As I understand
it, their purpose is to accommodate unwinder implementations that wish to
reduce code size by placing the implementations of the compact unwinding
decoders in a separate translation unit, and using extern weak symbols to
refer to them from the main unwinder implementation, so that they are only
linked when something in the binary needs them in order to unwind.
However, neither of the unwinders used on Android (libgcc, LLVM libunwind)
use this technique, and in fact emitting these relocations ends up being
counterproductive to code size because they cause a copy of the unwinder
to be statically linked into most binaries, regardless of whether it is
actually needed. Furthermore, these relocations create circular dependencies
(between libc and the unwinder) in cases where the unwinder is dynamically
linked and libc contains compact unwind info.
Therefore, deviate from the EHABI here and stop emitting these relocations
on Android.

Summary:
The functions different in two ways:
- getLLVMRegNum could return both "eh" and "other" dwarf register
numbers, while getLLVMRegNumFromEH only returned the "eh" number.
- getLLVMRegNum asserted if the register was not found, while the second
function returned -1.
The second distinction was pretty important, but it was very hard to
infer that from the function name. Aditionally, for the use case of
dumping dwarf expressions, we needed a function which can work with both
kinds of number, but does not assert.
This patch solves both of these issues by merging the two functions into
one, returning an Optional<unsigned> value. While the same thing could
be achieved by adding an "IsEH" argument to the (renamed)
getLLVMRegNumFromEH function, it seemed better to avoid the confusion of
two functions and put the choice of asserting into the hands of the
caller -- if he checks the Optional value, he can safely process
"untrusted" input, and if he blindly dereferences the Optional, he gets
the assertion.
I've updated all call sites to the new API, choosing between the two
options according to the function they were calling originally, except
that I've updated the usage in DWARFExpression.cpp to use the "safe"
method instead, and added a test case which would have previously
triggered an assertion failure when processing (incorrect?) dwarf
expressions.

r361845 changed the way we handle "D16" vs. "D32" targets; there used to

and now there's a "d32" feature which adds instructions to the

implementation: the behavior of VFPv2 was changed. In particular, the
"vfp2" feature was changed to imply "d32". This is wrong: VFPv2 only

In practice, this means if you specify -mfpu=vfpv2, the compiler will
generate illegal instructions.

operand <saturate>. The new assembly syntax is:
SQRSHRL<c> RdaLo, RdaHi, #<saturate>, Rm
UQRSHLL<c> RdaLo, RdaHi, #<saturate>, Rm
where <saturate> can be either 64 (the existing behavior) or 48, in
that case the result is saturated to 48 bits.
The new operand is encoded as follows:
#64 Encoded as sat = 0
#48 Encoded as sat = 1
sat is bit 7 of the instruction bit pattern.
This patch adds a new assembler operand class MveSaturateOperand which
implements parsing and encoding. Decoding is implemented in

This adds the rest of the vector memory access instructions. It
includes contiguous loads/stores, with an ordinary addressing mode
such as [r0,#offset] (plus writeback variants); gather loads and
scatter stores with a scalar base address register and a vector of
offsets from it (written [r0,q1] or similar); and gather/scatters with
a vector of base addresses (written [q0,#offset], again with
writeback). Additionally, some of the loads can widen each loaded
value into a larger vector lane, and the corresponding stores narrow
them again.
To implement these, we also have to add the addressing modes they
need. Also, in AsmParser, the `isMem` query function now has
subqueries `isGPRMem` and `isMVEMem`, according to which kind of base
register is used by a given memory access operand.
I've also had to add an extra check in `checkTargetMatchPredicate` in
the AsmParser, without which our last-minute check of `rGPR` register
operands against SP and PC was failing an assertion because Tablegen
had inserted an immediate 0 in place of one of a pair of tied register
operands. (This matches the way the corresponding check for `MCK_rGPR`
in `validateTargetOperandClass` is guarded.) Apparently the MVE load
instructions were the first to have ever triggered this assertion, but
I think only because they were the first to have a combination of the
usual Arm pre/post writeback system and the `rGPR` class in particular.

In addition to the Tablegen descriptions of the instructions
themselves, this patch also adds encode and decode support for the
QQPR and QQQQPR register classes (representing the range of loaded or
stored vector registers), and tweaks to the parsing system for lists

just an alias for two d-registers).

These instructions let you load half a vector register at once from
two general-purpose registers, or vice versa.
The assembly syntax for these instructions mentions the vector
register name twice. For the move _into_ a vector register, the MC
operand list also has to mention the register name twice (once as the
output, and once as an input to represent where the unchanged half of
the output register comes from). So we can conveniently assign one of
the two asm operands to be the output $Qd, and the other $QdSrc, which
avoids confusing the auto-generated AsmMatcher too much. For the move
_from_ a vector register, there's no way to get round the fact that
both instances of that register name have to be inputs, so we need a
custom AsmMatchConverter to avoid generating two separate output MC
operands. (And even that wouldn't have worked if it hadn't been for
D60695.)

This commit prepares the way to start adding the main collection of
MVE instructions, which operate on the 128-bit vector registers.
The most obvious thing that's needed, and the simplest, is to add the
MQPR register class, which is like the existing QPR except that it has
fewer registers in it.
The more complicated part: MVE defines a system of vector predication,
in which instructions operating on 128-bit vector registers can be
constrained to operate on only a subset of the lanes, using a system
of prefix instructions similar to the existing Thumb IT, in that you
have one prefix instruction which designates up to 4 following
instructions as subject to predication, and within that sequence, the
predicate can be inverted by means of T/E suffixes ('Then' / 'Else').
To support instructions of this type, we've added two new Tablegen
classes `vpred_n` and `vpred_r` for standard clusters of MC operands
to add to a predicated instruction. Both include a flag indicating how
the instruction is predicated at all (options are T, E and 'not
predicated'), and an input register field for the register controlling
the set of active lanes. They differ from each other in that `vpred_r`
also includes an input operand for the previous value of the output
register, for instructions that leave inactive lanes unchanged.
`vpred_n` lacks that extra operand; it will be used for instructions
that don't preserve inactive lanes in their output register (either
because inactive lanes are zeroed, as the MVE load instructions do, or
because the output register isn't a vector at all).
This commit also adds the family of prefix instructions themselves
(VPT / VPST), and all the machinery needed to work with them in
assembly and disassembly (e.g. generating the 't' and 'e' mnemonic
suffixes on disassembled instructions within a predicated block)
I've added a couple of demo instructions that derive from the new
Tablegen base classes and use those two operand clusters. The bulk of
the vector instructions will come in followup commits small enough to
be manageable. (One exception is that I've added the full version of
`isMnemonicVPTPredicable` in the AsmParser, because it seemed
pointless to carefully split it up.)
