[LLVMdev] patch for llc/ARM: added mechanism to move switch tables from .text -> .data; also cleanup and documentation

Hi:

This is my first patch submission. Hopefully, this is the proper the protocol.
Attached is a patch for the llc ARM backend:

Added mechanism to generate switch table in a data section
rather than having it interleaved with the code.
This is controlled by command line flags and off by default.
Also, tried to document and improve the code where I modified it.

Robert

When would you want the flag on?  When would you want the flag off?

The disadvantage of "outlining" the switch tables is the extra
constant pool load
incurred for loading the start address of the table into the register

The advantages are:
 * cleaner code both on the llvm side and the generated side
 which may be beneficial for  the ARM JIT (though I have not looked at this).
* no PIC problems in the text section as we just move the relocatable
 entries elsewhere.
 * better instruction density in the text section as jumptables can
grow quite large subsequently and may cause certain offsets to overflow
 * also AFAIK jumptables are the only "bigger than wordsize" data item
in text.
 The constant pools usually just contain 32bit quantities. In a past
life this made
 it hard for me to binary rewrite arm executables.

Is this necessary? Why not just put it in the normal data section?

Also "outline" jumptable seems like a strange term. Can you think of  
something else?

Thanks,

I thought it would be nice to group all the jumptables together.
But as long as it stays configurable, I am fine to change the default
to ".data".

Yes, that is a tough one. How about "NonInline" instead.
