When using a hard-float ABI for a target without FP registers, it's not
possible to correctly generate code for functions with arguments which
must be passed in floating-point registers. This is diagnosed in CodeGen
instead of Sema, to more closely match GCC's behaviour around inline
functions, which is relied on by the Linux kernel.
Previously, this only checked function signatures as they were
code-generated, but this missed some cases:
* Calls to functions not defined in this translation unit.
* Calls through function pointers.
* Calls to variadic functions, where the variadic arguments have a
floating-point type.
This adds checks to function calls, as well as definitions, so that
these cases are correctly diagnosed.
This is re-working of #74460, which adds a soft-float ABI for AArch64.
That was reverted because it causes errors when building the linux and
fuchsia kernels.
The problem is that GCC's implementation of the ABI compatibility checks
when using the hard-float ABI on a target without FP registers does it's
checks after optimisation. The previous version of this patch reported
errors for all uses of floating-point types, which is stricter than what
GCC does in practice.
This changes two things compared to the first version:
* Only check the types of function arguments and returns, not the types
of other values. This is more relaxed than GCC, while still guaranteeing
ABI compatibility.
* Move the check from Sema to CodeGen, so that inline functions are only
checked if they are actually used. There are some cases in the linux
kernel which depend on this behaviour of GCC.
