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.

VSX is an ISA extension supported on the POWER7 and later cores that enhances
floating-point vector and scalar capabilities. Among other things, this adds
<2 x double> support and generally helps to reduce register pressure.
The interesting part of this ISA feature is the register configuration: there
are 64 new 128-bit vector registers, the 32 of which are super-registers of the
existing 32 scalar floating-point registers, and the second 32 of which overlap
with the 32 Altivec vector registers. This makes things like vector insertion
and extraction tricky: this can be free but only if we force a restriction to
the right register subclass when needed. A new "minipass" PPCVSXCopy takes care
of this (although it could do a more-optimal job of it; see the comment about
unnecessary copies below).
Please note that, currently, VSX is not enabled by default when targeting
anything because it is not yet ready for that. The assembler and disassembler
are fully implemented and tested. However:
- CodeGen support causes miscompiles; test-suite runtime failures:

MultiSource/Benchmarks/tramp3d-v4/tramp3d-v4
SingleSource/Benchmarks/CoyoteBench/almabench
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/matmul_f64_4x4
- The lowering currently falls back to using Altivec instructions far more
than it should. Worse, there are some things that are scalarized through the
stack that shouldn't be.
- A lot of unnecessary copies make it past the optimizers, and this needs to
be fixed.
- Many more regression tests are needed.
Normally, I'd fix these things prior to committing, but there are some
students and other contributors who would like to work this, and so it makes
sense to move this development process upstream where it can be subject to the
regular code-review procedures.

When asked to pad an irregular number of bytes, we should fill with
zeros. This is consistent with the behavior specified in the AIX
Assembler Language Reference as well as other LLVM and binutils
assemblers.
N.B. There is a small deviation from binutils' PPC assembler:
when handling pads which are greater than 4 bytes but not mod 4,
binutils will not emit any NOP sequences at all and only use zeros.
This may or may not be a bug but there is no excellent rationale as to
why that behavior is important to emulate. If that behavior is needed,
we can change writeNopData() to behave in the same way.

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.

Modern PPC cores support a floating-point copysign instruction, and we can use
this to lower the FCOPYSIGN node (which is created from calls to the libm
copysign function). A couple of extra patterns are necessary because the
operand types of FCOPYSIGN need not agree.

This was unfortunately incorrect, there is is fact another,
serious drawback to using the default VK_TLSLD/VK_TLSGD
variant kinds: using these causes ELFObjectWriter::RelocNeedsGOT
to return true, which in turn causes the ELFObjectWriter to emit
an undefined reference to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.
This is a problem on powerpc64, because it uses the TOC instead
of the GOT, and the linker does not provide _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_,
so the symbol remains undefined. This means shared libraries
using TLS built with the integrated assembler are currently
broken.
While the whole RelocNeedsGOT / _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ situation
probably ought to be properly fixed at some point, for now I'm
simply reverting the r185476 commit. Now this in turn exposes
the breakage of handling @tlsgd/@tlsld in the asm parser that
this check-in was originally intended to fix.
To avoid this regression, I'm also adding a different fix for
this problem: while common code now parses @tlsgd as VK_TLSGD,
a special hack in the asm parser translates this code to the
platform-specific VK_PPC_TLSGD that the back-end now expects.
While this is not really pretty, it's self-contained and
shouldn't hurt anything else for now. One the underlying
problem is fixed, this hack can be reverted again.

The PowerPC assembler is supposed to provide a directive .machine
that allows switching the supported CPU instruction set on the fly.
Since we do not yet check CPU feature sets at all and always accept
any available instruction, this is not really useful at this point.
However, it makes sense to accept (and ignore) ".machine any" to
avoid spuriously rejecting existing assembler files that use this.

This adds support for the basic mnemoics (with the L operand) for the
fixed-point compare instructions. These are defined as aliases for the
already existing CMPW/CMPD patterns, depending on the value of L.
This requires use of InstAlias patterns with immediate literal operands.
To make this work, we need two further changes:
- define a RegisterPrefix, because otherwise literals 0 and 1 would
be parsed as literal register names
- provide a PPCAsmParser::validateTargetOperandClass routine to
recognize immediate literals (like ARM does)

When a target@got@tprel or target@got@tprel@l symbol variant is used in
a fixup_ppc_half16 (*not* fixup_ppc_half16ds) context, we currently fail,
since the corresponding R_PPC64_GOT_TPREL16 / R_PPC64_GOT_TPREL16_LO
relocation types do not exist.
However, since such symbol variants resolve to GOT offsets which are
always 4-aligned, we can simply instead use the _DS variants of the
relocation types, which *do* exist.
The same applies for the @got@dtprel variants.

The ppc64-fixups.s test currently fails to build with GNU as, since it
does not support plain symbols as arguments to li/lis. Rewrite the test

Allowing the test case to be built with both LLVM and GNU as makes it
easier to spot unwanted difference in the output.

This adds support for the last missing construct to parse TLS-related
assembler code:
add 3, 4, symbol@tls
The ADD8TLS currently hard-codes the @tls into the assembler string.
This cannot be handled by the asm parser, since @tls is parsed as
a symbol variant. This patch changes ADD8TLS to have the @tls suffix
printed as symbol variant on output too, which allows us to remove
the isCodeGenOnly marker from ADD8TLS. This in turn means that we
can add a AsmOperand to accept @tls marked symbols on input.
As a side effect, this means that the fixup_ppc_tlsreg fixup type
is no longer necessary and can be merged into fixup_ppc_nofixup.

Just as with mfocrf, it is also preferable to use mtocrf instead of
mtcrf when only a single CR register is to be written.
Current code however always emits mtcrf. This probably does not matter
when using an external assembler, since the GNU assembler will in fact
automatically replace mtcrf with mtocrf when possible. It does create
inefficient code with the integrated assembler, however.
To fix this, this patch adds MTOCRF/MTOCRF8 instruction patterns and
uses those instead of MTCRF/MTCRF8 everything. Just as done in the
MFOCRF patch committed as 185556, these patterns will be converted
back to MTCRF if MTOCRF is not available on the machine.
As a side effect, this allows to modify the MTCRF pattern to accept
the full range of mask operands for the benefit of the asm parser.

There are a couple of (small) related changes here:
1. The printed name of the VRSAVE register has been changed from VRsave to
vrsave in order to match the name accepted by GNU binutils.
2. Support for parsing vrsave has been added to the asm parser (it seems that
there was no test case specifically covering this code, so I've added one).
3. The list of Altivec registers, which was common to all calling conventions,
has been separated out. This allows us to define the base CSR lists, and then
lists for each ABI with Altivec included. This allows SjLj, for example, to
work correctly on non-Altivec targets without using unnatural definitions of
the NoRegs CSR list.
4. VRSAVE is now always reserved on non-Darwin targets and all Altivec
registers are reserved when Altivec is disabled.
With these changes, it is now possible to compile a function containing
__builtin_unwind_init() on Linux/PPC64 with debugging information. This did not
work previously because GNU binutils assumes that all .cfi_offset offsets will
be 8-byte aligned on PPC64 (and errors out if you provide a non-8-byte-aligned
offset). This is not true for the vrsave register, however, because this
register is used only on Darwin, GCC does not bother printing a .cfi_offset
entry for it (even though there is a slot in the stack frame for it as
specified by the ABI). This change allows us to do the same: we will also not
print .cfi_offset directives for vrsave.

The assembler currently strictly verifies that immediates for
s16imm operands are in range (-32768 ... 32767). This matches
the behaviour of the GNU assembler, with one exception: gas
allows, as a special case, operands in an extended range
(-65536 .. 65535) for the addis instruction only (and its
extended mnemonic lis).
The main reason for this seems to be to allow using unsigned
16-bit operands for lis, e.g. like lis %r1, 0xfedc.
Since this has been supported by gas for a long time, and
assembler source code seen "in the wild" actually exploits
this feature, this patch adds equivalent support to LLVM
for compatibility reasons.

accept symbolic operands. In fact, s16imm and u16imm can
