esp-15.0.0-20230404

Changes (since esp-15.0.0-20221201):

Features:

• [Xtensa] Implements constant islands pass. For large code models it allows to intersperse code with constants, because sometimes L32R instruction range in immediate field is not enough.
• [LLD][Xtensa] Cover DIFF{8, 16, 32} relocations.
• [Xtensa] Improves fixup error messages in asm backend. Adds different diagnostic messages for different branch
  relocation fixups.

Bug Fixes:

• [Xtensa] Fixes HW loop pass. Fixes HW loop miscompilation with opt-level = 's'. See esp-rs/rust#164
• [Xtensa] Disables hardware loops by default.

esp-15.0.0-20221201

Changes (since esp-15.0.0-20221014):

Features:

• [Xtensa] Add LLD linker support.
• [Xtensa] Add support for -mtext-section-literals option. See description of the same option in GNU assembler.
• [Xtensa] Add support of the -mcmodel=large option. Currently it just enables -mtext-section-literals.
• Removed dependency on terminfo library. Previous release for Linux systems had a dependency on libtinfo5 which is pretty old version.
• Added nano versions of libc, libm and libg to toolchain.

Bug Fixes:

• [Xtensa] Fixed lowering funnel shift left. Previous implementation generated incorrect Xtensa instruction sequence.
• [Xtensa] Made it possible to use -fuse-ld when GCC toolchain is detected. Previosuly toolchain always used GNU xtensa linker.

esp-15.0.0-20221014

Changes (since esp-14.0.0-20220415):

Features:

• Upgrade LLVM version to 15.0.0
• Single toolchain for any Espressif chip (either Xtensa or RISCV architectures)
• Distribution for Linux ARM and ARM64 platforms. Closes #61.
• Distribution for MacOS ARM64 platform. Closes #61.
• Minimal distributions including libraries and headers only to be used by 3rd party tools (e.g. Espressif Rust port)
• Support Espressif vendor in target triple: xtensa-esp-elf and riscv32-esp-elf

Bug Fixes:

• [Xtensa] Fixes broken inline assembly memory operands. Closes #58.
• [Xtensa] Expand addi instruction with large immediate, to addmi + addi.
• [Xtensa] Implement support of .literal and .region directives in assembler parser.
• [Xtensa] Add bbci.l macro for bbci instruction and bbsi.l for bbsi.
• [Xtensa] Fix ill.n instruction encoding
• [Xtensa] Implement support of the --sysroot clang option. Closes #56.
