from 12.0-ALPHA10 to 13.0-CURRENT. This edit was a mistake,
and should have been applied to stable/12 upon branching, not
head.

BPF (eBPF) is an independent instruction set architecture which is
introduced in Linux a few years ago. Originally, eBPF execute
environment was only inside Linux kernel. However, recent years there
are some user space implementation (https://github.com/iovisor/ubpf,
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/prog_guide/bpf_lib.html) and kernel space
implementation for FreeBSD is going on
(https://github.com/YutaroHayakawa/generic-ebpf).
The BPF target support can be enabled using WITH_LLVM_TARGET_BPF, as it
is not built by default.

This makes it possible, through src.conf(5) settings, to select which
LLVM targets you want to build during buildworld. The current list is:
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_AARCH64
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_ARM
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_MIPS
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_POWERPC
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_SPARC
* (WITH|WITHOUT)_LLVM_TARGET_X86
To not influence anything right now, all of these are on by default, in
situations where clang is enabled.
Selectively turning a few targets off manually should work. Turning on
only one target should work too, even if that target does not correspond
to the build architecture. (In that case, LLVM_NATIVE_ARCH will not be
defined, and you can only use the resulting clang executable for
cross-compiling.)
I performed a few measurements on one of the FreeBSD.org reference
machines, building clang from scratch, with all targets enabled, and
with only the x86 target enabled. The latter was ~12% faster in real
time (on a 32-core box), and ~14% faster in user time. For a full
buildworld the difference will probably be less pronounced, though.

Make armv7 as a new MACHINE_ARCH.
Copy all the places we do armv6 and add armv7 as basically an
alias. clang appears to generate code for armv7 by default. armv7 hard
float isn't supported by the the in-tree gcc, so it hasn't been
updated to have a new default.
Support armv7 as a new valid MACHINE_ARCH (and by extension
TARGET_ARCH).
Add armv7 to the universe build.

For some reason, we have been inserting the ABI specification into the
middle of the target triple, when building LLVM, like so:
armv6-gnueabi-freebsd12.0
This is the wrong way around. LLVM even auto-canonicalizes it to:
armv6--freebsd12.0-gnueabi
Let's do this the right way in llvm.build.mk instead. While here,
define a proper VENDOR macro which can be overridden easily.

-mlong-calls was set only in STATIC_CXXFLAGS, but there are some .c
source files in LLVM which also need -mlong-calls.
Unfortunately this is not sufficient to fix linking lldb on ARM,
because LLVM-generated calls to __aeabi_read_tp do not honour the
-mlong-calls flag. See LLVM PR31769 for details.

* Bootstrap llvm-tblgen and clang-tblgen with a minimal llvm static
library, that has no other dependencies.
* Roll up all separate llvm libraries into one big static libllvm.
* Similar for all separate clang and lldb static libraries.
* For all these libraries, generate their .inc files only once.
* Link all llvm tools (including extra) against the big libllvm.
* Link clang and clang-format against the big libllvm and libclang.
* Link lldb against the big libllvm, libclang and liblldb.
N.B.: This is work in progress, some details may still be missing.
It also heavily depends on bsd.*.mk's support for SRCS and DPSRCS with
relative pathnames, which apparently does not always work as expected.
For building llvm, clang and lldb though, it seems to work just fine.
The main idea behind this restructuring is maintainability and build
peformance. The previous large number of very small libraries, each
with their own generated files and dependencies was slow to traverse
and hard to understand.
Possible future improvements:
* Only build certain targets, e.g. for most regular users having just
one target will be fine. This will shave off some build time.
* Building the big llvm, clang and lldb libraries as shared (private)
libraries.
* Adding other components from the LLVM project, such as lld.
