- This patch fixes the bug described in
http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2013-May/062343.html
The fix allocates an extra slot just below the GPRs and stores the base pointer
there. This is done only for functions containing llvm.eh.sjlj.setjmp that also
need a base pointer. Because code containing llvm.eh.sjlj.setjmp saves all of
the callee-save GPRs in the prologue, the offset to the extra slot can be
computed before prologue generation runs.
Impact at run-time on affected functions is::
- One extra store in the prologue, The store saves the base pointer.
- One extra load after a llvm.eh.sjlj.setjmp. The load restores the base pointer.
Because the extra slot is just above a gap between frame-pointer-relative and
base-pointer-relative chunks of memory, there is no impact on other offset
calculations other than ensuring there is room for the extra slot.
