Daniel Cederman 7faf1a0868 [Sparc] Add errata workaround pass for GR712RC and UT700 (#103843) ...

This patch adds a pass that provides workarounds for the errata
described in GRLIB-TN-0009, GRLIB-TN-0010, GRLIB-TN-0011, GRLIB-TN-0012,
and GRLIB-TN-0013, that are applicable to the GR712RC and UT700. The

The pass will detect certain sensitive instruction sequences and prevent
them from occurring by inserting NOP instruction. Below is an overview
of each of the workarounds. A similar implementation is available in
GCC.

GRLIB-TN-0009:

* Insert NOPs to prevent the sequence (stb/sth/st/stf) -> (single
non-store/load instruction) -> (any store)

* Insert NOPs to prevent the sequence (std/stdf) -> (any store)

GRLIB-TN-0010:

* Insert a NOP between load instruction and atomic instruction (swap and
casa).

* Insert a NOP at branch target if load in delay slot and atomic
instruction at branch target.

* Do not allow functions to begin with atomic instruction.

GRLIB-TN-0011:

* Insert .p2align 4 before atomic instructions (swap and casa).

GRLIB-TN-0012:

* Place a NOP at the branch target of an integer branch if it is a
floating-point operation or a floating-point branch.

GRLIB-TN-0013:

* Prevent (div/sqrt) instructions in the delay slot.

* Insert NOPs to prevent the sequence (div/sqrt) -> (two or three
floating point operations or loads) -> (div/sqrt).

* Do not insert NOPs if any of the floating point operations have a
dependency on the destination register of the first (div/sqrt).

* Do not insert NOPs if one of the floating point operations is a
(div/sqrt).

* Insert NOPs to prevent (div/sqrt) followed by a branch.
