When passing a 16 (or higher) aligned struct by value on ppc64le,
it needs to be passed as an array of `i128` rather than an array
of `i64`. This will force the use of an even starting register.
For the case of a 16 byte struct with alignment 16 it is important
that `[1 x i128]` is used instead of `i128` -- apparently, the
latter will get treated similarly to `[2 x i64]`, not exhibiting
the correct ABI. Add a `force_array` flag to `Uniform` to support
this.
The relevant clang code can be found here:
fe2119a7b0/clang/lib/CodeGen/Targets/PPC.cpp (L878-L884)fe2119a7b0/clang/lib/CodeGen/Targets/PPC.cpp (L780-L784)
I think the corresponding psABI wording is this:
> Fixed size aggregates and unions passed by value are mapped to as
> many doublewords of the parameter save area as the value uses in
> memory. Aggregrates and unions are aligned according to their
> alignment requirements. This may result in doublewords being
> skipped for alignment.
In particular the last sentence.
