Namely: - remove 'r30' from free registers, it's an .LCTOC1 register for gcc. generated .plt stubs expect it to be initialised. - fix PicBase computation, which originally forgot to use 'tmp' reg in 'initializePicBase_ppc.fetchPC' - mark 'ForeighTarget's as implicitly using 'PicBase' register (see comment for details) - add 64-bit MO_Sub and test on alloclimit3/4 regtests - fix dynamic label offsets to match with .LCTOC1 offset Signed-off-by: Sergei Trofimovich Test Plan: validate passes equal amount of vanilla/dyn tests Reviewers: simonmar, erikd, austin Reviewed By: erikd, austin Subscribers: carter, thomie Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D560 GHC Trac Issues: #8024, #9831 }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9831#comment:5 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
