[dev.ssa] cmd/compile: fix PIC for SSA-generated code
Access to globals requires a 2-instruction sequence on PIC 386.
MOVL foo(SB), AX
is translated by the obj package into:
CALL getPCofNextInstructionInTempRegister(SB)
MOVL (&foo-&thisInstruction)(tmpReg), AX
The call returns the PC of the next instruction in a register.
The next instruction then offsets from that register to get the
address required. The tricky part is the allocation of the
temp register. The legacy compiler always used CX, and forbid
the register allocator from allocating CX when in PIC mode.
We can't easily do that in SSA because CX is actually a required
register for shift instructions. (I think the old backend got away
with this because the register allocator never uses CX, only
codegen knows that shifts must use CX.)
Instead, we allow the temp register to be anything. When the
destination of the MOV (or LEA) is an integer register, we can
use that register. Otherwise, we make sure to compile the
operation using an LEA to reference the global. So
MOVL AX, foo(SB)
is never generated directly. Instead, SSA generates:
LEAL foo(SB), DX
MOVL AX, (DX)
which is then rewritten by the obj package to:
CALL getPcInDX(SB)
LEAL (&foo-&thisInstruction)(DX), AX
MOVL AX, (DX)
So this CL modifies the obj package to use different thunks
to materialize the pc into different registers. We use the
registers that regalloc chose so that SSA can still allocate
the full set of registers.
