clang optimizes tail calls, as in this example:
int foo(void);
int bar(void) {
return foo();
}
where the call is transformed to:
calll .L0$pb
.L0$pb:
popl %eax
.Ltmp0:
addl $_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+(.Ltmp0-.L0$pb), %eax
movl foo@GOT(%eax), %eax
popl %ebp
jmpl *%eax # TAILCALL
However, the GOT references must all be resolved at dlopen() time, and so this
approach cannot be used with lazy dynamic linking (e.g. using RTLD_LAZY), which
usually populates the PLT with stubs that perform the actual resolving.
This patch changes X86TargetLowering::LowerCall() to skip tail call
optimization, if the called function is a global or external symbol.

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.
