PR target/120681 - allow -mcmodel=large with prefixed addressing
When I implemented the pc-relative support for power10 in GCC, I disabled
using
pc-relative support for -mcmodel=large. At the time, I didn't want to dig
into
the issues. It is now time to allow -mcmodel=large to generate pc-relative
code.
This patch allows -mcmodel=large to use prefixed addressing on power10,
power11,
and possibly other future PowerPC processors.
This patch deletes the code that disallows -mprefixed and -mcmodel=large.
By
deleting the code, it allows the normal pc-relative addressing to be used.
For
static variables, pc-relative addressing will be used. For external
variables,
we will generate the normal code that uses '@got@pcrel' addressing to load
up
the external address and use this address as a pointer to do the load or
store.
