GHCi: Properly generate jump code for ARM (#8380)
This adds code for jumping to given addresses for ARM, written by Ben
Gamari.
However, when allocating new infotables for bytecode (which is where
this jump code occurs), we need to be sure to flush the cache on the
execute pointer returned from allocateExec() - on systems like ARM, the
processor won't reliably read back code or automatically cache flush,
where x86 will.
So we add a new flushExec primitive to call out to GCC's
__builtin___clear_cache primitive, which will properly generate the
correct code (nothing on x86, and a call to libgcc's __clear_cache on
ARM) and make sure we use it after writing the code out.
