This patch provides basic support for powerpc64le as an LLVM target. However, use of this target will not actually generate little-endian code. Instead, use of the target will cause the correct little-endian built-in defines to be generated, so that code that tests for __LITTLE_ENDIAN__, for example, will be correctly parsed for syntax-only testing. Code generation will otherwise be the same as powerpc64 (big-endian), for now. The patch leaves open the possibility of creating a little-endian PowerPC64 back end, but there is no immediate intent to create such a thing. The LLVM portions of this patch simply add ppc64le coverage everywhere that ppc64 coverage currently exists. There is nothing of any import worth testing until such time as little-endian code generation is implemented. In the corresponding Clang patch, there is a new test case variant to ensure that correct built-in defines for little-endian code are generated. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@187179 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8
Upgrading Libtool
===============================================================================
If you are in the mood to upgrade libtool, you must do the following:
1. Get the new version of libtool and put it in <SRC>
2. configure/build/install libtool with --prefix=<PFX>
3. Copy <SRC>/ltdl.m4 to llvm/autoconf/m4
4. Copy <PFX>/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 to llvm/autoconf/m4/libtool.m4
5. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/ltmain.sh to llvm/autoconf/ltmain.sh
6. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.c to llvm/lib/System
7. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.h to llvm/lib/System
8. Edit the ltdl.h file to #include "llvm/Config/config.h" at the very top. You
might also need to resolve some compiler warnings (typically about
comparison of signed vs. unsigned values). But, you won't find out about
those until you build LLVM (step 13).
9. Edit the llvm/autoconf/m4/libtool.m4 file so that:
a) in AC_PROB_LIBTOOL macro, the value of LIBTOOL is set to
$(top_builddir)/mklib, not $(top_builddir)/libtool
b) in AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP macro, the variable default_ofile is set to
"mklib" instead of "libtool"
c) s/AC_ENABLE_SHARED_DEFAULT/enable_shared_default/g
d) s/AC_ENABLE_STATIC_DEFAULT/enable_static_default/g
e) s/AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL_DEFAULT/enable_fast_install_default/g
10. Run "autoupdate libtool.m4 ltdl.m4" in the llvm/autoconf/m4 directory.
This should correctly update the macro definitions in the libtool m4
files to match the version of autoconf that LLVM uses. This converts
AC_HELP_STRING to AS_HELP_STRING and AC_TRY_LINK to AC_LINK_IFELSE, amongst
other things. You may need to manually adjust the files.
11. Run AutoRegen.sh to get the new macros into configure script
12. If there are any warnings from AutoRegen.sh, go to step 9.
13. Rebuild LLVM, making sure it reconfigures
14. Test the JIT which uses libltdl
15. If it all works, only THEN commit the changes.
Upgrading autoconf
===============================================================================
If you are in the mood to upgrade autoconf, you should:
1. Consider not upgrading.
2. No really, this is a hassle, you don't want to do it.
3. Get the new version of autoconf and put it in <SRC>
4. configure/build/install autoconf with --prefix=<PFX>
5. Run autoupdate on all the m4 macros in llvm/autoconf/m4
6. Run autoupdate on llvm/autoconf/configure.ac
7. Regenerate configure script with AutoRegen.sh
8. If there are any warnings from AutoRegen.sh, fix them and go to step 7.
9. Test, test, test.
