Summary

Hi all,

The use of thread local storage (TLS) requires the thread pointer to access thread specific data.
LLVM generates subroutine calls to a ABI specified function "__eabi_read_tp" to get hold of the thread pointer.
Unfortunately, LLVM uses the ARM coding of the branch long instructions in Thumb mode, instead of the Thumb encoding.
This patch enables the correct encoding for the Thumb branch long instruction.

Please review, thanks,
Christian

Is this to cope with IT blocks?

Is this really necessary? I'd have thought that everything in here is ARM anyway, plus the instruction is different (tTPsoft instead of TPsoft).

Yes, ARMCC::AL marks an unconditional branch.

This pattern matches both in ARM and Thumb mode.
This predicate makes LLVM to match the tTPsoft pattern in Thumb mode.
I can change "PseudoInst" to "ARMPseudoInst" so that the predicate can be omitted, what you think?

With the ARMPseudoInst change, LGTM.

Thanks!

I think it's better, since the Thumb version use tPseudoInst.
