bpf: accept all asm register names
Sometimes when people compile bpf programs with "clang ... -target bpf ...", the kernel header files may contain host arch inline assembly codes as in the patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10119683/ by Arnaldo Carvaldo de Melo. The current workaround in the above patch is to guard the inline assembly with "#ifndef __BPF__" marco. So when __BPF__ is defined, these macros will have no use. Such a method is not extensible. As a matter of fact, most of these inline assembly codes will be thrown away at the end of clang compilation. So for bpf target, this patch accepts all asm register names in clang AST stage. The name will be checked again during llc code generation if the inline assembly code is indeed for bpf programs. With this patch, the above "#ifndef __BPF__" is not needed any more in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10119683/ . Signed-off-by:Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> llvm-svn: 329823
