[ARM] generate armv6m eXecute Only (XO) code
[ARM] generate armv6m eXecute Only (XO) code for immediates, globals Previously eXecute Only (XO) support was implemented for targets that support MOVW/MOVT (~armv7+). See: https://reviews.llvm.org/D27449 XO prevents the compiler from generating data accesses to code sections. This patch implements XO codegen for armv6-M, which does not support MOVW/MOVT, and must resort to the following general pattern to avoid loads: movs r3, :upper8_15:foo lsls r3, #8 adds r3, :upper0_7:foo lsls r3, #8 adds r3, :lower8_15:foo lsls r3, #8 adds r3, :lower0_7:foo ldr r3, [r3] This is equivalent to the code pattern generated by GCC. The above relocations are new to LLVM and have been implemented in a parent patch: https://reviews.llvm.org/D149443. This patch limits itself to implementing codegen for this pattern and enabling XO for armv6-M in the backend. Separate patches will follow for: - switch tables - replacing specific loads from constant islands which are spread out over the ARM backend codebase. Amongst others: FastISel, call lowering, stack frames. Reviewed By: john.brawn Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D152795
