//
// When resolving an address using the ELF ABI TOC pointer, two relocations are
// generally required: one for the high part and one for the low part. Only
// the high part generally explicitly depends on r2 (the TOC pointer). And, so,
// we might produce code like this:
//
// .Ltmp526:
//         addis 3, 2, .LC12@toc@ha
// .Ltmp1628:
//         std 2, 40(1)
//         ld 5, 0(27)
//         ld 2, 8(27)
//         ld 11, 16(27)
//         ld 3, .LC12@toc@l(3)
//         rldicl 4, 4, 0, 32
//         mtctr 5
//         bctrl
//         ld 2, 40(1)
//
// And there is nothing wrong with this code, as such, but there is a linker bug
// in binutils (https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18414) that will
// misoptimize this code sequence to this:
//         nop
//         std     r2,40(r1)
//         ld      r5,0(r27)
//         ld      r2,8(r27)
//         ld      r11,16(r27)
//         ld      r3,-32472(r2)
//         clrldi  r4,r4,32
//         mtctr   r5
//         bctrl
//         ld      r2,40(r1)
// because the linker does not know (and does not check) that the value in r2
// changed in between the instruction using the .LC12@toc@ha (TOC-relative)
// relocation and the instruction using the .LC12@toc@l(3) relocation.
// Because it finds these instructions using the relocations (and not by
// scanning the instructions), it has been asserted that there is no good way
// to detect the change of r2 in between. As a result, this bug may never be
// fixed (i.e. it may become part of the definition of the ABI). GCC was
// updated to add extra dependencies on r2 to instructions using the @toc@l
// relocations to avoid this problem, and we'll do the same here.
//
// This is done as a separate pass because:
//  1. These extra r2 dependencies are not really properties of the
//     instructions, but rather due to a linker bug, and maybe one day we'll be
//     able to get rid of them when targeting linkers without this bug (and,
//     thus, keeping the logic centralized here will make that
//     straightforward).
//  2. There are ISel-level peephole optimizations that propagate the @toc@l
//     relocations to some user instructions, and so the exta dependencies do
//     not apply only to a fixed set of instructions (without undesirable
//     definition replication).
