// This linker pass updates branch-sites whose target is a different mode
// (thumb vs arm).
//
// Arm code has two instruction encodings thumb and arm.  When branching from
// one code encoding to another, you need to use an instruction that switches
// the instruction mode.  Usually the transition only happens at call sites, and
// the linker can transform a BL instruction in BLX (or vice versa).  But if the
// compiler did a tail call optimization and a function ends with a branch (not
// branch and link), there is no pc-rel BX instruction.
//
// The ShimPass looks for pc-rel B instructions that will need to switch mode.
// For those cases it synthesizes a shim which does the transition, then
// modifies the original atom with the B instruction to target to the shim atom.
