[PowerPC] Extend .reloc directive on PowerPC
When the compiler generates a GOT indirect load it must generate two loads. One that loads the address of the element from the GOT and a second to load the actual element based on the address just loaded from the GOT. However, the linker can optimize these two loads into one load if it knows that it is safe to do so. The compiler can tell the linker that the optimization is safe by using the R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT relocation. This patch extends the .reloc directive to allow the following setup pld 3, vec@got@pcrel(0), 1 .Lpcrel1=.-8 ... More instructions possible here ... .reloc .Lpcrel1,R_PPC64_PCREL_OPT,.-.Lpcrel1 lwa 3, 4(3) Reviewers: nemanjai, lei, hfinkel, sfertile, efriedma, tstellar, grosbach, MaskRay Reviewed By: nemanjai, MaskRay Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D79625
