[PATCH try 2 resend] [i386] Remove warnings for ignoring -mcall-ms2sysv-xlogues.


I appear to have forgotten to cc gcc-patches, sorry about that.

There are currently three cases where we issue a warning when disabling
-mcall-ms2sysv-xlogues for a function, but I never added a proper
warning, so there's no mechanism for disabling it.  This is something
that I meant to address sooner.  I'm thinking that it's better to just
remove the warning entirely and document these cases, rather than adding
a new warning.  Any thoughts?

These are the conditions:

* the use of -fsplit-stack,
* the use of static call chains (not sure if we can ever have that), and
* if the function calls __buildin_eh_return.

Some of these cases can likely be supported, but they are just on the
"not yet tested" list.

2017-06-11  Daniel Santos  <daniel.santos@pobox.com

	* config/i386/i386.c (warn_once_call_ms2sysv_xlogues): Remove.
	(ix86_compute_frame_layout): Don't call warn_once_call_ms2sysv_xlogues.
	(ix86_expand_call): Likewise.

Thanks,
Daniel

 Due to differences in 64-bit ABIs, any Microsoft ABI function that calls a

+default, the instructions for saving and restoring these registers are emitted

+@option{-mcall-ms2sysv-xlogues} emits pro- and epilogues that use stubs in the
+static portion of libgcc to perform these saves and restores, thus reducing

+theoretically mitigated or eliminated by reduced instruction cache utilization,
+temporal locality of the stubs, and the stubs' use of MOV instructions over
+PUSH and POP.
+
+This option is not supported with SEH, so it is completely unavailable on
+Windows.  It is also silently disabled if a function:
+
+@enumerate
+@item is built with @option{-mno-sse2} or @option{-fsplit-stack},
+@item has @code{__attribute__ ((ms_hook_prologue))}, or
+@item either throws an exception or explicitly calls @code{__builtin_eh_return}.
+@end enumerate
+
+Support for @option{-fsplit-stack} and @code{__builtin_eh_return} may be
+added at some time in the future, but has not yet been tested.
