Sudakshina Das 901e66e03e [AArch64, 3/6] Restrict indirect tail calls to x16 and x17
This patch is part of a series that enables ARMv8.5-A in GCC and
adds Branch Target Identification Mechanism.

This patch changes the registers that are allowed for indirect tail calls.
We are choosing to restrict these to only x16 or x17.

Indirect tail calls are special in a way that they convert a call statement
(BLR instruction) to a jump statement (BR instruction). For the best possible
use of Branch Target Identification Mechanism, we would like to place a
"BTI C" (call) at the beginning of the function which is only
compatible with BLRs and BR X16/X17. In order to make indirect tail calls
compatible with this scenario, we are restricting the TAILCALL_ADDR_REGS.

In order to use x16/x17 for this purpose, we also had to change the use
of these registers in the epilogue/prologue handling. For this purpose
we are now using x12 and x13 named as EP0_REGNUM and EP1_REGNUM as
scratch registers for epilogue and prologue.

README

This directory contains the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The GNU Compiler Collection is free software.  See the files whose
names start with COPYING for copying permission.  The manuals, and
some of the runtime libraries, are under different terms; see the
individual source files for details.

The directory INSTALL contains copies of the installation information
as HTML and plain text.  The source of this information is
gcc/doc/install.texi.  The installation information includes details
of what is included in the GCC sources and what files GCC installs.

See the file gcc/doc/gcc.texi (together with other files that it
includes) for usage and porting information.  An online readable
version of the manual is in the files gcc/doc/gcc.info*.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs/ for how to report bugs usefully.

Copyright years on GCC source files may be listed using range
notation, e.g., 1987-2012, indicating that every year in the range,
inclusive, is a copyrightable year that could otherwise be listed
individually.
