Subject: [PATCH 20/61] [PPC][BOLT] Use PPCMCTargetDesc.h to include generated
.inc files
Replace direct inclusion of PPCGenInstrInfo.inc and PPCGenRegisterInfo.inc with PPCMCTargetDesc.h, which pulls in the necessary enums. This aligns the PowerPC target with the AArch64 and X86 patterns and follows the guidance from initial code review.

Subject: [PATCH 21/61] [PPC][BOLT] Add minimal PowerPC MCSymbolizer. Introduce
PPCMCSymbolizer. This initial version supports resolving relocations by
printing symbolic names and attaching them to instructions. It enables BOLT
to disassemble simple PowerPC binaries (e.g., Hello World) with basic
symbolic operands.

Subject: [PATCH 23/61] [BOLT][PPC] Add PowerPC support to BinaryContext
Extend BinaryContext::createBinaryContext to recognize ppc64 and ppc64le
targets. This enables llvm-bolt to accept ELFv2 PowerPC64 binaries and
dispatch into the PowerPC backend (MCPlusBuilder, Symbolizer, etc.).
Part of initial PowerPC port of BOLT.

Subject: [PATCH 24/61] [BOLT][PPC] Initial support for PPC64 relocations.
Add minimal handling in Relocation.cpp for common PPC64 relocation types (ADDR64, JMP_SLOT, REL24, TOC16* etc.) observed via readelf on a simple ehllo world binary. This enables BOLT to run.

Subject: [PATCH 33/61] [BOLT][PPC] Safeguard symbol lookups in
analyzeRelocation.
Add guarded handling for PPC64 relocations in RewriteInstance::analyzeRelocation. For PPC64 replaced cantFail() with Expected<> checks for getName, getAddress, getType ensuring SymbolName, SymbolAddress, and IsSectionRelocation are always initialised. This avoided crashes on missing symbols for PPC64 binaries.

Subject: [PATCH 37/61] [PPC][BOLT] Skip 'verifyExtractedValue()' on PPC64 for
relocation types where the generic verifier does not match the actual
semantics (split-immediate, HI/HA/LO/DS, TOC-relative encoding) These are
often multi-instruction address materialisations and cannot be validated
against a single truncated expression.
Verification is still enforced for PC-relative branches (REL24/REL14) to ensure correctness.
This unblocks running '--print-only' and basic instrumentation on PPC64 binaries without false assertion failures.

Subject: [PATCH 49/61] [PPC][BOLT] Add disassemblePLTSectionPPC64 support.
Introduce a PowerPC64 implementation of PLT section disassembly in RewriteInstance. This enables BOLT to properly identify and skip PLT stubs on PPC64, mirroring existing handing for the other targets.
With this change, BOLT no longer attempts to treat PPC64 PLT stubs as regular functions, avoiding crashes and mis-optimisation. This lays the groundwork for running BOLT on dynamically linked PPC64 binaries that depend on libc calls (e.g. 'printf')

Subject: [PATCH 50/61] [PPC][BOLT] Implement convertJmpToTailCall for PowerPC.
BOLT relies on treating tail calls as calls to build correct CFGs and preserve interprocedural analysis. On PowerPC, the compiler often emits plain branches (b, ba, bctr) instead of explicit calls when lowering tail calls. (TCO Tail Call Optimisation).
This patch overrides convertJmpToTailCall in PPCMCPlusBuilder so that uncoditional branches are converted into their link-bit variants (BL, BLA, BCTRL). This way, BOLT can consistently recognise them as calls/tail calls during dissasembly and optimisation, including when skipping PLT (Procedure Linkage Table) stubs.

Subject: [PATCH 51/61] [PPC][BOLT] Add relocation support and fix PC-relative
operant detection.
This patch introduces initial PowerPC relocation handing in createRelocation() by mapping common fixup kinds to ELF relaction types:
*24-bit PC-relative branches (B/BL) -> R_PPC64_REL24
*14-bit conditional branches (BC/BCL) -> R_PPC64_REL14
Unrecognised fixup kinds return std::nullopt.
Additionaly, getPCRelOperandNum() is updated to correctly identify the operand index of branch targets.

Subject: [PATCH 53/61] Fix replaceBranchTarget() when it is called on an
instruction where branch target isn't at a fixed operand index. Make
getPCRelOperandNum() search for last MCOperand that is an expression, instead
of hard-coded indices.
Enhance createRelocation() to handle TOC relocations (not just REL24/REL14). To fix the JITLink assert "NOP should be placed here for restoring r2". JITLink coudn't see TOC-related edges and couldn't patch sequences correctly.
I had mapping only for REL24/REL14.

Subject: [PATCH 54/61] [PPC][BOLT] Insert post-call NOP for ELFv2 to satisfy
JITLink r2/TOC restore.
Detect calls without a following NOP and inject one during emission to prevent
ppc64 JITLink assertions and preserve TOC (r2) handling.

Subject: [PATCH 58/61] [PPC][BOLT] Skip evaluateBracnh for PPC calls.
For other targets evaluateBranch can index MC operand info and compute target reliably.
Though for PPC64 a bl often arrives without an explicit MC operand when disassembled from an object file. So the evaluateBranch() is called on an instruction shape it does not handle, leading to an assertion failure.
In relocation mode, BOLT already resolves call targets via relocations,
so calling `evaluateBranch` for PPC calls is unnecessary. Branches are
still handled normally.
This change skips evaluateBranch for PPC calls while preserving branch evaluation for contidional/unconditional jumps.

Subject: [PATCH 59/61] [PPC][BOLT] Implement evaluateMemOperandTarget() and
refine PC-rel detection
Provide a PPC implementation of MCPlusBuilder::evaluateMemOperandTarget()
that returns false (PPC64 with -mno-pcrel has no PC-relative memory operands).
This avoids hitting the base-class llvm_unreachable during disassembly.
Also stop reporting BA/BLA (absolute) as having a PC-relative operand. Keep
PC-rel handling only for BL/B/BC where AA=0.

Subject: [PATCH 60/61] [PPC][BOLT] Disable PC-rel operand evaluation for
calls/branches.
MCPlusBuilder::evaluateMemOperandTarget(...)
BinaryFunction::handlePCRelOperand(...)
BinaryFunction::disassemble()
BOLT was crashing with:
FATAL BOLT-ERROR: PC-relative operand can't be evaluated
because `PPCMCPlusBuilder::hasPCRelOperand()` returned `true` for BL/BC,
causing BOLT to try to evaluate the target directly from the MCInst.
On PowerPC ELFv2, branch/call targets are typically resolved via relocations
(e.g. R_PPC64_REL24) rather than embedded PC-rel immediates, so evaluation
fails.
This patch makes `hasPCRelOperand()` return `false` for PPC, and guards
`replaceBranchTarget()` accordingly.
