[X86] Support cleaning more than 2**16 bytes of stack
The x86 ret instruction has a 16 bit immediate indicating how many bytes to pop off of the stack beyond the return address. There is a problem when extremely large structs are passed by value: we might not be able to fit the number of bytes to pop into the return instruction. To fix this, expand RET_FLAG a little later and use a special sequence to clean the stack: pop %ecx ; return address is now in %ecx add $n, %esp ; clean the stack push %ecx ; bring the return address back on the stack ret ; pop the return address and jmp to it's value llvm-svn: 262755
