[AArch64][Driver] Allow runtime detection to override default feaures.

Currently, most extensions controlled through -march and -mcpu options
are handled in a bitset of AArch64::ExtensionSet. However, extensions
detected at runtime for native compilation are handled in a separate
list of CPU features; once most of the parsing logic has run, the bitset
is converted to a list of features, added after the features detected at
runtime, and the resulting list is used from there on.

This has the downside that runtime-detected features are unable to
override default CPU extensions. For example, if a CPU enables +aes in
its processor definition, but aes is not found at runtime, the feature
currently remains enabled---even though unsupported---because default
features are enabled after the runtime logic attempts to disable them.

This patch inserts runtime-detected features directly into the extension
set such that these options can take precedence over extensions enabled
by default. The general parsing order for mcpu=native becomes:
1. CPU defaults;
2. Runtime detection;
3. Further +featureA+nofeatureB options;
4. Other parsing decisions.

This allows features that are found to be unsupported at runtime to be
removed from the list of features supported by targets that enable them
by default.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
