Without this patch, clang would generate calls to __sync_* routines on
targets where it does not make sense; we can't assume the routines exist
on unknown targets. Linux has special implementations of the routines
that work on old ARM targets; other targets have no such routines. In
general, atomics operations which aren't natively supported should go
through libatomic (__atomic_*) APIs, which can support arbitrary atomics
through locks.
ARM targets older than v6, where this patch makes a difference, are rare
in practice, but not completely extinct. See, for example, discussion on
D116088.
This also affects Cortex-M0, but I don't think __sync_* routines
actually exist in any Cortex-M0 libraries. So in practice this just
leads to a slightly different linker error for those cases, I think.
Mechanically, this patch does the following:
- Ensures we run atomic expansion unconditionally; it never makes sense to
completely skip it.
- Fixes getMaxAtomicSizeInBitsSupported() so it returns an appropriate
number on all ARM subtargets.
- Fixes shouldExpandAtomicRMWInIR() and shouldExpandAtomicCmpXchgInIR() to
correctly handle subtargets that don't have atomic instructions.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D120026
These features (fairly) recently got split out into their own feature, so we
should make CodeGen use them when available. The main change here is that the
check used to be based on the triple, but now it's based on CPU features.
