When storing an argument to a stack location for consumption by a
callee, or storing a return value to an on-stack return slot for
consumption by the caller, the ABI implementation was properly extending
the value but was then performing a store with only the original width.
This fixes the issue by always performing a 64-bit store of the extended
value.
Issue reported by @uweigand (thanks!).
We have observed that the ABI implementations for AArch64 and x64 are
very similar; in fact, x64's implementation started as a modified copy
of AArch64's implementation. This is an artifact of both a similar ABI
(both machines pass args and return values in registers first, then the
stack, and both machines give considerable freedom with stack-frame
layout) and a too-low-level ABI abstraction in the existing design. For
machines that fit the mainstream or most common ABI-design idioms, we
should be able to do much better.
This commit factors AArch64 into machine-specific and
machine-independent parts, but does not yet modify x64; that will come
next.
This should be completely neutral with respect to compile time and
generated code performance.
