-mtriple= specifies the full target triple while -march= merely sets the
architecture part of the default target triple (e.g. Windows, macOS),
leaving a target triple which may not make sense.
Therefore, -march= is error-prone and not recommended for tests without
a target triple. The issue has been benign as we recognize
bpf*-apple-darwin as ELF instead of rejecting it outrightly.
Before llvm20, (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...) always generates locked
xadd insns. In linux kernel upstream discussion [1], it is found that
for arm64 architecture, the original semantics of
(void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...), i.e., __atomic_fetch_add(...), is
preferred in order for jit to emit proper native barrier insns.
In llvm commits [2] and [3], (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...) will
generate the following insns:
- for cpu v1/v2: locked xadd insns to keep backward compatibility
- for cpu v3/v4: __atomic_fetch_add() insns
To ensure proper barrier semantics for (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...),
cpu v3/v4 is recommended.
This patch enables cpu=v3 as the default cpu version. For users wanting
to use cpu v1, -mcpu=v1 needs to be explicitly added to clang/llc
command line.

If users tried to have a structure decl/init code like below
struct test_t t = { .memeber1 = 45 };
It is very likely that compiler will generate a readonly section
to hold up the init values for variable t. Later load of t members,
e.g., t.member1 will result in a read from readonly section.
BPF program cannot handle relocation. This will force users to
write:
struct test_t t = {};
t.member1 = 45;
This is just inconvenient and unintuitive.
This patch addresses this issue by implementing BPF PreprocessISelDAG.
For any load from a global constant structure or an global array of
constant struct, it attempts to
translate it into a constant directly. The traversal of the
constant struct and other constant data structures are similar
to where the assembler emits read-only sections.
Four different unit test cases are also added to cover
different scenarios.
