Summary

Enables atomic.c in compiler_rt and forces clang to not emit a call for runtime decision about lock/lock_free.
At compiling time, if clang can't decide if atomic operation can be lock free, it emits calls to external functions like __atomic_is_lock_free,
__c11_atomic_is_lock_free and __atomic_always_lock_free, postponing decision to a runtime check.
According to LLVM code documentation, the mechanism exists due to differences between x86_64 processors that can't be decided at runtime.

On PowerPC/PowerPCSPE (32 bits), we already know in advance it can't be lock free, so we force the decision at compile time and avoid having to implement it in an external library.

This patch was made after 32 bit users testing the PowePC32 bit ISO reported llvm could not be compiled with in-base llvm due to __atomic_load8 not implemented.

Test Plan

Build 32 bit sysroot and test on powerpc64 machine using chroot (I don't have a truly 32 bit PowerPC machine at the moment)

We'll be using the ppc triple Arch for powerpcspe.

lib/libcompiler_rt/Makefile.inc
209

We use the same MACHINE_CPUARCH for all powerpc targets

lib/libcompiler_rt/Makefile.inc
209

You probably want MACHINE_ARCH.

Updated with comments, added a compiler check to make it "commitable" before flagday and retested

Why did you need to change the include order of machine/atomic.h and sys/types.h?

Is calling __c11_atomic_is_lock_free(0) really the right change here?
To achieve the same goal, IS_LOCK_FREE_16 is defined to 0 instead.

contrib/llvm/tools/clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp
9908

It is better to avoid introducing a new line here.

contrib/compiler-rt/lib/builtins/atomic.c
126

No need for defined(powerpcspe), we just use powerpc for powerpcspe target.

"machine/atomic.h" uses types like "uint32_t" that are only defined in "sys/types.h", so it should come first

contrib/compiler-rt/lib/builtins/atomic.c
55

I think in accordance with style(9), machine/ includes should come after all sys/ includes.

contrib/llvm/tools/clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp

This looks redundant. Right below it returns Success(0, E) if the BuiltinOp is __atomic_always_lock_free().

I fact I would to make it avoid emitting external call for "__ atomic_is_lock_free" and "__ c11_atomic_is_lock_free" as well, if ppc32 bit.

contrib/llvm/tools/clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp

The comment should reflect that, then. The comment states you just want to avoid __atomic_always_lock_free(), but you want to avoid all 3 on powerpc.
