Mips have delayslots for certain instructions
like jumps and branches. These are instructions
that follow the branch or jump and are executed
before the jump or branch is completed.
Early Mips compilers could not cope with delayslots
and left them up to the assembler. The assembler would
fill the delayslots with the appropriate instruction,
usually just a nop to allow correct runtime behavior.
The default behavior for this is set with .set reorder.
To tell the assembler that you don't want it to mess with
the delayslot one used .set noreorder.
For backwards compatibility we need to support
.set reorder and have it be the default behavior in the
assembler.
Our support for it is to insert a NOP directly after an
instruction with a delayslot when in .set reorder mode.

This patch allows the Mips assembler to parse and emit nested
expressions as instruction operands. It also extends the
expansion of memory instructions when an offset is given as
an expression.

This patch uses the generated instruction info tables to
identify memory/load store instructions.
After successful matching and based on the operand type
and size, it generates additional instructions to the output.

The .set directive in the Mips the assembler can be
used to set the value of a symbol to an expression.
This changes the symbol's value and type to conform
to the expression's.
Syntax: .set symbol, expression
This patch implements the parsing of the above syntax
and enables the parser to use defined symbols when
parsing operands.

The constructs %hi() and %lo() represent the high and low 16
bits of the address.
Because the 16 bit offset field of an LW instruction is
interpreted as signed, if bit 15 of the low part is 1 then the
low part will act as a negative and 1 needs to be added to the
high part.

Mips specific standalone assembler directive "set at".
This directive changes the general purpose register
that the assembler will use when given the symbolic
register name $at.
This does not include negative testing. That will come
in a future patch.
A side affect of this patch recognizes the different
GPR register names for temporaries between old abi
and new abi so a test case for that is included.

register names in the standalone assembler llvm-mc.
Registers such as $A1 can represent either a 32 or
64 bit register based on the instruction using it.
In addition, based on the abi, $T0 can represent different
32 bit registers.
The problem is resolved by the Mips specific AsmParser
td definitions changing to work together. Many cases of
RegisterClass parameters are now RegisterOperand.

This is necessary not only for representing empty ranges, but for handling
multibyte characters in the input. (If the end pointer in a range refers to
a multibyte character, should it point to the beginning or the end of the
character in a char array?) Some of the code in the asm parsers was already
assuming this anyway.

Sooooo many of these had incorrect or strange main module includes.
I have manually inspected all of these, and fixed the main module
include to be the nearest plausible thing I could find. If you own or
care about any of these source files, I encourage you to take some time
and check that these edits were sensible. I can't have broken anything
(I strictly added headers, and reordered them, never removed), but they
may not be the headers you'd really like to identify as containing the
API being implemented.
Many forward declarations and missing includes were added to a header
files to allow them to parse cleanly when included first. The main
module rule does in fact have its merits. =]

the interface between the front-end and the MC layer when parsing inline
assembly. Unfortunately, this is too deep into the parsing stack. Specifically,
we're unable to handle target-independent assembly (i.e., assembly directives,
labels, etc.). Note the MatchAndEmitInstruction() isn't the correct
abstraction either. I'll be exposing target-independent hooks shortly, so this
is really just a cleanup.

This patch provides initial implementation of load address
macro instruction for Mips. We have implemented two kinds
of expansions with their variations depending on the size
of immediate operand:
1) load address with immediate value directly:
* la d,j => addiu d,$zero,j (for -32768 <= j <= 65535)
* la d,j => lui d,hi16(j)
ori d,d,lo16(j) (for any other 32 bit value of j)
2) load load address with register offset value
* la d,j(s) => addiu d,s,j (for -32768 <= j <= 65535)
* la d,j(s) => lui d,hi16(j) (for any other 32 bit value of j)
ori d,d,lo16(j)
addu d,d,s
This patch does not cover the case when the address is loaded
from the value of the label or function.

macro instruction (li) in the assembler.
We have identified three possible expansions depending on
the size of immediate operand:
1) for 0 ≤ j ≤ 65535.
li d,j =>
ori d,$zero,j
2) for −32768 ≤ j < 0.
li d,j =>
addiu d,$zero,j
3) for any other value of j that is representable as a 32-bit integer.
li d,j =>
lui d,hi16(j)
ori d,d,lo16(j)

.set option
The patch implements following options
at - lets the assembler use the $at register for macros,
but generates warnings if the source program uses $at
noat - let source programs use $at without issuingwarnings.
noreorder - prevents the assembler from reordering machine
language instructions.
nomacro - causes the assembler to print a warning whenever
an assembler operation generates more than one
machine language instruction.
macro - lets the assembler generate multiple machine instructions
from a single assembler instruction
reorder - lets the assembler reorder machine language
instructions to improve performance
The above variants are parsed and their boolean values set or unset.
The code to actually use them will come later.
Following options are not implemented yet:
nomips16
nomicromips
move

map constraints and MCInst operands to inline asm operands. This replaces the
getMCInstOperandNum() function.
The logic to determine the constraints are not in place, so we still default to
a register constraint (i.e., "r"). Also, we no longer build the MCInst but
rather return just the opcode to get the MCInstrDesc.
