Hi all, After discussing the -mtp= option with Arm's LLVM developers we'd like to extend the functionality of the option somewhat. First of all, there is another TPIDR register that can be used to read the thread pointer: TPIDRRO_EL0 (which can also be accessed by AArch32 under another name) so it makes sense to add -mtp=tpidrr0_el0. This makes the existing arguments el0, el1, el2, el3 somewhat inconsistent in their naming so this patch introduces the more "full" names tpidr_el0, tpidr_el1, tpidr_el2, tpidr_el3 and makes the above short names alias of these new ones. Long story short, we preserve backwards compatibility and add a new TPIDR register to access through -mtp that wasn't available previously. There is more relevant discussion of the options at https://reviews.llvm.org/D152433 if you're interested.
Bootstrapped and tested on aarch64-none-linux-gnu.
Pushing to trunk.
Thanks,
Kyrill
