As is described at http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22408, the GNU linkers
ld.bfd and ld.gold currently only support a subset of the whole range of AArch64
ELF TLS relocations. Furthermore, they assume that some of the code sequences to
access thread-local variables are produced in a very specific sequence.
When the sequence is not as the linker expects, it can silently mis-relaxe/mis-optimize
the instructions.
Even if that wouldn't be the case, it's good to produce the exact sequence,
as that ensures that linkers can perform optimizing relaxations.
This patch:
* implements support for 16MiB TLS area size instead of 4GiB TLS area size. Ideally clang
would grow an -mtls-size option to allow support for both, but that's not part of this patch.
* by default doesn't produce local dynamic access patterns, as even modern ld.bfd and ld.gold
linkers do not support the associated relocations. An option (-aarch64-elf-ldtls-generation)
is added to enable generation of local dynamic code sequence, but is off by default.
* makes sure that the exact expected code sequence for local dynamic and general dynamic
accesses is produced, by making use of a new pseudo instruction. The patch also removes
two (AArch64ISD::TLSDESC_BLR, AArch64ISD::TLSDESC_CALL) pre-existing AArch64-specific pseudo
SDNode instructions that are superseded by the new one (TLSDESC_CALLSEQ).

This commit starts with a "git mv ARM64 AArch64" and continues out
from there, renaming the C++ classes, intrinsics, and other
target-local objects for consistency.
"ARM64" test directories are also moved, and tests that began their
life in ARM64 use an arm64 triple, those from AArch64 use an aarch64
triple. Both should be equivalent though.
This finishes the AArch64 merge, and everyone should feel free to
continue committing as normal now.
