Issue:
Certain instruction aliases (e.g. mfsprg) defined in PowerPC tablegen as InstAlias are gated behind the ModernAs predicate as InstAlias.
Without the +modern-aix-as target feature enabled, the ModernAs predicate is not satisfied and these instructions aliases are unavailable. This caused assembly failures on AIX unless user manually specify below options.
-Xclang -target-feature -Xclang +modern-aix-as
Solution:
Automatically enable the +modern-aix-as target feature when:
- The target triple is AIX.
- The integrated assembler is being used (default or -fintegrated-as).
This feature is not enabled when -fno-integrated-as is specified.
