This patch adds more effective targets to the target-supports.exp in the
testsuite.  I tried to break it down to whether prefixed instructions are
allowed, whether the target is generating 64-bit code with prefixed
instructions, and if -mpcrel support is available.  I also enabled 'future'
testing on the actual hardware (or simulator).

The tests in V8 will use some of these capabilities.

I have run the test suite on a little endian power8 system with no degradation.
Can I check this into the FSF trunk?

	* lib/target-supports.exp
	(check_effective_target_powerpc_future_ok): Do not require 64-bit

	(check_effective_target_powerpc_prefixed_addr_ok): New effective
	target test to see if prefixed memory instructions are supported.
	(check_effective_target_powerpc_pcrel_ok): New effective target
	test to test whether PC-relative addressing is supported.
	(is-effective-target): Add test for the PowerPC 'future' hardware

You changed from 0x12345 to 0x1234, instead -- why?

"Return 1 if the assembler supports Future instructions."

Please make it explicit that this isn't about the compiler.

You are still passing -mfuture.

The comment says one thing.

-mfuture isn't a compiler option...  Well it still is, but that should
be removed.

The actual test uses only 30 bits (and a positive number).  Which is fine,
but the comment is misleading then: the code doesn't test "if the full
34-bit offset is supported".

I don't understand why we test both pli and pld.

The name says another.

This part has no function?  Are there any testcases that test for our
prefixed insns that are compiler for non-powerpc?

If we want this at all, this test shouldn't be nested, just should be
an early-out.

(should be "b" for the last constraint; and "&l[0]" is usually written
just "l").

And the code tests two things.

-mcpu=future, instead?

Does this need to be separate from check_effective_target_powerpc_future_ok
at all?

That is the third selector claiming to test the same thing ("target supports
-mfuture").

So every assembler will support either all three of these, or none.
Can you simplify this please?

The last time I did the patch there was discussion about 32-bit support.  I
just rewrote the patch to accomidate possibly using -mcpu=future on a 32-bit
platform.  In particular, AIX.  So I rewrote the basic test so that in theory
it would run on a 32-bit platform.

All of the tests use the -m<flag> test and not -mcpu=<cpu> test
(i.e. -mpower9-vector instead of -mcpu=power9 or -mdejagnu-cpu=power9), so I
was being consistant with those tests.

Again, I was just being consistant with the other tests.

I can fix the comment.

Just being cautious.

Probably not, but all of the other tests have the same prefix.

This gets back to whether some port will eventually want to use FUTURE
instructions in a 32-bit context.  Linux will always be 64-bit little endian,
but there are other platforms out there that may want to generate FUTURE code.

I can imagine for example AIX might support 64-bit 'future' but not support
PC-relative.  I believe you (or David) asked to split up the prefixed
addressing with numeric offets and PC-relative addressing, because ports might
not be able to support PC-relative addressing.

I don't see how this has anything to with it?  The insns was just fine
for 32-bit already?

Yes, that is a nasty problem, so let's not promulgate that.  Anyway, it
also contradicts the comment on this function.

Hrm, the check_effective_target_powerpc_future_ok test should probably
use a non-prefixed instruction?  If we cannot do that right now, add a
comment?

Feel free to send patches fixing old mistakes, too.

No, Linux also supports 32-bit BE and 64-bit BE.  Even if we do not
support Future on those currently, this may change.  There is absolutely
no reason to make it harder to do later.  If we think some combinations
do not exist we can *ignore* them.  That is much less work, too.

> but there are other platforms out there that may want to generate FUTURE code.

But we should not anticipate those having broken assemblers that do not
support half of the insns, etc.  You *already* required prefixed insns in
the base Future test, to prove how futile this is.

That is fine, but these tests do not do that.  Some clearer comments will
help, too.
