Hi all,

In this PR we generated ADRP/ADD instructions with :lo12: relocations on symbols even though -mpc-relative-literal-loads
is used. This is due to the confusing double-negative logic of the
nopcrelative_literal_loads aarch64 variable and its relation to the aarch64_nopcrelative_literal_loads global variable
in the GCC 6 branch.

Wilco fixed this on trunk as part of a larger patch (r237607) and parts of that patch were backported, but other parts weren't and
that patch now doesn't apply cleanly to the branch.

The actual bug here is that aarch64_classify_symbol uses nopcrelative_literal_loads instead of the correct aarch64_nopcrelative_literal_loads.
nopcrelative_literal_loads gets set to 1 if the user specifies -mpc-relative-literal-loads(!) whereas aarch64_nopcrelative_literal_loads gets
set to false, so that is the variable we want to check.

So this is the minimal patch that fixes this.

Bootstrapped and tested on aarch64-none-linux-gnu on the GCC 6 branch.

Ok for the branch?

Thanks,
Kyrill

As I commented to Jakub at the time he made the first partial backport,
I'd much rather just see all of Wilco's patch backported. We're not on
the verge of a 6 release now, so please just backport Wilco's patch (as
should have been done all along if this had been correctly identified as
a fix rather than a clean-up).

Thanks,
James

Unfortunately simply backporting the patch does not fix this PR.
The aarch64_classify_symbol changes do not have the desired effect
and the :lo12: relocations are generated.
I'll look into it, but I believe that would require a bigger change than this one-liner.

Thanks,
Kyri
