Dean Michael Berris dfab4815c7 [XRay] Support for for tail calls for ARM no-Thumb
This patch adds simplified support for tail calls on ARM with XRay instrumentation.

Known issue: compiled with generic flags: `-O3 -g -fxray-instrument -Wall
-std=c++14  -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections` (this list doesn't include my
specific flags like --target=armv7-linux-gnueabihf etc.), the following program

    #include <cstdio>
    #include <cassert>
    #include <xray/xray_interface.h>

    [[clang::xray_always_instrument]] void __attribute__ ((noinline)) fC() {
      std::printf("In fC()\n");
    }

    [[clang::xray_always_instrument]] void __attribute__ ((noinline)) fB() {
      std::printf("In fB()\n");
      fC();
    }

    [[clang::xray_always_instrument]] void __attribute__ ((noinline)) fA() {
      std::printf("In fA()\n");
      fB();
    }

    // Avoid infinite recursion in case the logging function is instrumented (so calls logging
    //   function again).
    [[clang::xray_never_instrument]] void simplyPrint(int32_t functionId, XRayEntryType xret)
    {
      printf("XRay: functionId=%d type=%d.\n", int(functionId), int(xret));
    }

    int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
      __xray_set_handler(simplyPrint);

      printf("Patching...\n");
      __xray_patch();
      fA();

      printf("Unpatching...\n");
      __xray_unpatch();
      fA();

      return 0;
    }

gives the following output:

    Patching...
    XRay: functionId=3 type=0.
    In fA()
    XRay: functionId=3 type=1.
    XRay: functionId=2 type=0.
    In fB()
    XRay: functionId=2 type=1.
    XRay: functionId=1 type=0.
    XRay: functionId=1 type=1.
    In fC()
    Unpatching...
    In fA()
    In fB()
    In fC()

So for function fC() the exit sled seems to be called too much before function
exit: before printing In fC().

Debugging shows that the above happens because printf from fC is also called as
a tail call. So first the exit sled of fC is executed, and only then printf is
jumped into. So it seems we can't do anything about this with the current
approach (i.e. within the simplification described in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D23988 ).
