I don't know ARM hardly at all but... This comment does not seem to match the code. Or maybe tBfar is a BL? Also, how does this work if the destination is greater than 2**21? /// fixupUnconditionalBr - Fix up an unconditional branch whose destination is /// too far away to fit in its displacement field. If the LR register has been /// spilled in the epilogue, then we can use BL to implement...

Okay.. but // Far jump // Just a pseudo for a tBL instruction. Needed to let regalloc know about // the clobber of LR. let Defs = [LR] in def tBfar : tPseudoExpand<(outs), (ins t_bltarget:$target, pred:$p),...

IIRC, that’s under the category of “if people start having problems with that limit, we’ll consider complicating the code enough to deal with it."...
