TargetLoweringBase::Expand is defined as "Try to expand this to other ops,
otherwise use a libcall." For ISD::UDIV and ISD::SDIV, the choice between
the two possibilities was defined in a rather convoluted way:
- if DIVREM is legal, expand to DIVREM
- if DIVREM has a custom lowering, expand to DIVREM
- if DIVREM libcall is defined and a remainder from the same division is computed elsewhere, expand to a DIVREM libcall
- else, expand to a DIV libcall
This had the undesirable effect that if both DIV and DIVREM are implemented
as libcalls, then ISD::UDIV and ISD::SDIV are expanded to the heavier DIVREM
libcall, even when the remainder isn't used.
The new code adds a new LegalizeAction, TargetLoweringBase::LibCall, so that
backends can directly control whether they prefer an expansion or a conversion
to a libcall. This makes the generic lowering code even more generic,
allowing its reuse in a wider range of target-specific configurations.
The useful effect is that ARM backend will now generate a call
to aeabi_{i,u}div rather than aeabi_{i,u}divmod in cases where
it doesn't need the remainder. There's no functional change outside
the ARM backend.
