    cmd/compile: fix large global variables in -linkshared mode on s390x · 55ac5b50
    Michael Munday authored
    When rewriting loads and stores accessing global variables to use the
    GOT we were making use of REGTMP (R10). Unfortunately loads and stores
    with large offsets (larger than 20-bits) were also using REGTMP,
    causing it to be clobbered and subsequently a segmentation fault.
    
    This can be fixed by using REGTMP2 (R11) for the rewrite. This is fine
    because REGTMP2 only has a couple of uses in the assembler (division,
    high multiplication and storage-to-storage instructions). We didn't
    use REGTMP2 originally because it used to be used more frequently,
    in particular for stores of constants to memory. However we have now
    eliminated those uses.
    
    This was found while writing a test case for CL 63030. That test case
    is included in this CL.
