[ARM] Remove FeatureNoARM implies ModeThumb.
Summary: By removing FeatureNoARM implies ModeThumb, we can detect cases where a function's target-features contain -thumb-mode (enables ARM codegen for the function), but the architecture does not support ARM mode. Previously, the implication caused the FeatureNoARM bit to be cleared for functions with -thumb-mode, making the assertion in ARMSubtarget::ARMSubtarget [1] pointless for such functions. This assertion is the only guard against generating ARM code for architectures without ARM codegen support. Is there a place where we could easily generate error messages for the user? At the moment, we would generate ARM code for Thumb-only architectures. X86 has the same behavior as ARM, as in it only has an assertion and no error message, but I think for ARM an error message would be helpful. What do you think? For the example below, `llc -mtriple=armv7m-eabi test.ll -o -` will generate ARM assembler (or fail with an assertion error with this patch). Note that if we run the resulting assembler through llvm-mc, we get an appropriate error message, but not when codegen is handled through clang. ``` define void @bar() #0 { entry: ret void } attributes #0 = { "target-features"="-thumb-mode" } ``` [1] https://github.com/llvm-mirror/llvm/blob/c1f7b54cef62e9c8aa745d40bea146a167bf844e/lib/Target/ARM/ARMSubtarget.cpp#L147 Reviewers: t.p.northover, rengolin, peter.smith, aadg, silviu.baranga, richard.barton.arm, echristo Reviewed By: rengolin, echristo Subscribers: efriedma, aemerson, javed.absar, kristof.beyls, llvm-commits Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D35569 llvm-svn: 310476
