yonghong-song 7852ebc088 [BPF] Make -mcpu=v3 as the default (#107008)
Before llvm20, (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...) always generates locked
xadd insns. In linux kernel upstream discussion [1], it is found that
for arm64 architecture, the original semantics of
(void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...), i.e., __atomic_fetch_add(...), is
preferred in order for jit to emit proper native barrier insns.

In llvm commits [2] and [3], (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...) will
generate the following insns:
  - for cpu v1/v2: locked xadd insns to keep backward compatibility
  - for cpu v3/v4: __atomic_fetch_add() insns

To ensure proper barrier semantics for (void)__sync_fetch_and_add(...),
cpu v3/v4 is recommended.

This patch enables cpu=v3 as the default cpu version. For users wanting
to use cpu v1, -mcpu=v1 needs to be explicitly added to clang/llc
command line.

This directory and its subdirectories contain source code for LLVM,
a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers,
optimizers, and runtime environments.

Please see the documentation provided in docs/ for further
assistance with LLVM, and in particular docs/GettingStarted.rst for getting
started with LLVM and docs/README.txt for an overview of LLVM's
documentation setup.
