Original commit message:

PPC: allow for calling CFunctions without function descriptors on AIX.

The calling conventions on AIX uses function descriptors,
which means that pointers to functions do not point to code,
but instead point to metadata about them. When calling JITed code,
we must assure to use function descriptors instead of raw pointers when
needed. Before this CL 213504b, all CallCFunction on AIX were guaranteed to have
function descriptors. Starting form the CL mentioned above, CallCFunction can also
Jump to a Trampoline which does not have a function descriptor, hence a new
"CallCFunctionWithoutFunctionDescriptor" method is proposed to deal with this issue.

RSLGTM. I've added a commit to undo the skip of the --jitless test on AIX from #32594.

GitHub has been a bit unstable this evening. Will wait a bit for things to stabilise.

@richardlau sounds good, seems like one of my commits still hasn't showed up.

Shouldn't this have been enum FunctionDescriptorMode : bool { /* ... */ }, or (probably more idiomatic for V8) use the enum instead of bool? Relying on int-to-bool coercion looks a bit footgunny.

I'm guessing they were ok with it as it's following the previous enums SaveFPRegsMode and ArgvMode.

Right, but those are of type SaveFPRegsMode and ArgvMode in function parameter lists, there's no coercion to bool taking place.

that's right however the int value 0 (kNoFunctionDescriptor) is implicitly translating to false at all cases, and true otherwise. You're right that marking it as bool could have made it more clear.

Should be safe to run tests now, files are synced.

FYI, implementation under src/compiler/backend/ppc/code-generator-ppc.cc and src/execution/simulator.h had to be slightly modified from the original CL as certain changes are not present in this version if V8.
