Ping?
Refreshed, retested on ppc64le-linux-gnu.  Ok to install?


Some of the rs6000 call patterns, on some ABIs, issue multiple opcodes
out of a single call insn, but the call (bl) or jump (b) is not always
the last opcode in the sequence.

This does not seem to be a problem for exception handling tables, but
the return_pc attribute in the call graph output in dwarf2+ debug
information, that takes the address of a label output right after the
call, does not match the value of the link register even for non-tail
calls.  E.g., with ABI_AIX or ABI_ELFv2, such code as:

  foo ();

outputs:

  bl foo
  nop
 LVL#:
[...]
  .8byte .LVL#  # DW_AT_call_return_pc

but debug info consumers may rely on the return_pc address, and draw
incorrect conclusions from its off-by-4 value.

This patch uses the infrastructure for targets to add an offset to the
label issued after the call_insn to set the call_return_pc attribute,
on rs6000, to account for opcodes issued after actual call opcode as
part of call insns output patterns.
