[PowerPC] Revert r185476 and fix up TLS variant kinds
In the commit message to r185476 I wrote: >The PowerPC-specific modifiers VK_PPC_TLSGD and VK_PPC_TLSLD >correspond exactly to the generic modifiers VK_TLSGD and VK_TLSLD. >This causes some confusion with the asm parser, since VK_PPC_TLSGD >is output as @tlsgd, which is then read back in as VK_TLSGD. > >To avoid this confusion, this patch removes the PowerPC-specific >modifiers and uses the generic modifiers throughout.

This was unfortunately incorrect, there is is fact another, serious drawback to using the default VK_TLSLD/VK_TLSGD variant kinds: using these causes ELFObjectWriter::RelocNeedsGOT to return true, which in turn causes the ELFObjectWriter to emit an undefined reference to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_. This is a problem on powerpc64, because it uses the TOC instead of the GOT, and the linker does not provide _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_, so the symbol remains undefined. This means shared libraries using TLS built with the integrated assembler are currently broken. While the whole RelocNeedsGOT / _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ situation probably ought to be properly fixed at some point, for now I'm simply reverting the r185476 commit. Now this in turn exposes the breakage of handling @tlsgd/@tlsld in the asm parser that this check-in was originally intended to fix. To avoid this regression, I'm also adding a different fix for this problem: while common code now parses @tlsgd as VK_TLSGD, a special hack in the asm parser translates this code to the platform-specific VK_PPC_TLSGD that the back-end now expects. While this is not really pretty, it's self-contained and shouldn't hurt anything else for now. One the underlying problem is fixed, this hack can be reverted again. llvm-svn: 185945
