[Bug target/44266] New: stack frame lacks parameter save area

["amodra at gmail dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

A function that makes no other calls besides calls to __tls_get_addr does not
allocate a stack frame with a parameter save area.  According to the PowerPC64
ABI, any function that makes calls must allocate at least a 112 byte stack
frame.  This testcase, extracted from libstdc++

/* -m64 -fPIC -O2 */
int *
get_global (void)
{
  static __thread int global;
  return &global;
}

results in

        mflr 0
        std 0,16(1)
        stdu 1,-48(1)
        addi 3,2,.LANCHOR0@got@tlsld
        bl __tls_get_addr
        nop
        addi 1,1,48
        addis 3,3,.LANCHOR0@dtprel@ha
        addi 3,3,.LANCHOR0@dtprel@l
        ld 0,16(1)
        mtlr 0
        blr

Note the 48 byte stack frame.
