2016-04-03add support for mips and mips64 r6 isaRich Felker-4/+23
mips32r6 and mips64r6 are actually new isas at both the asm source and opcode levels (pre-r6 code cannot run on r6) and thus need to be treated as a new subarch. the following changes are made, some of which yield code generation improvements for non-r6 targets too: - add subarch logic in configure script and reloc.h files for dynamic linker name. - suppress use of .set mips2 asm directives (used to allow mips2 atomic instructions on baseline mips1 builds; the kernel has to emulate them on mips1) except when actually needed. they cause wrong instruction encodings on r6, and pessimize inlining on at least some compilers. - only hard-code sync instruction encoding on mips1. - use "ZC" constraint instead of "m" constraint for llsc memory operands on r6, where the ll/sc instructions no longer accept full 16-bit offsets. - only hard-code rdhwr instruction encoding with .word on targets (pre-r2) where it may need trap-and-emulate by the kernel. otherwise, just use the instruction mnemonic, and allow an arbitrary destination register to be used.

2016-01-21refactor internal atomic.hRich Felker-0/+61
rather than having each arch provide its own atomic.h, there is a new shared atomic.h in src/internal which pulls arch-specific definitions from arc/$(ARCH)/atomic_arch.h. the latter can be extremely minimal, defining only a_cas or new ll/sc type primitives which the shared atomic.h will use to construct everything else. this commit avoids making heavy changes to the individual archs' atomic implementations. definitions which are identical or near-identical to what the new shared atomic.h would produce have been removed, but otherwise the changes made are just hooking up the arch-specific files to the new infrastructure. major changes to take advantage of the new system will come in subsequent commits.
