To support thumb1 execute-only code we need to support four new
relocations (R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G0_NC, R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G1_NC,
R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G2_NC and R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G3_NC).
These relocations allow the static linker to finalize construction
of symbol address.
Typical sequence of code to get address of the symbol foo is then
the following :
movs r3, #:upper8_15:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:upper0_7:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:lower8_15:#foo
lsls r3, #8
adds r3, #:lower0_7:#foo
This will give following sequence of text and relocations after
assembly :
4: 2300 movs r3, #0
4: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G3_NC foo
6: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
8: 3300 adds r3, #0
8: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G2_NC foo
a: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
c: 3300 adds r3, #0
c: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G1_NC foo

The Statistical Profile extension included in the ARMv8.2 architecture
adds a number of system registers and a new instruction. This patch set
adds support for the extension to binutils, enabled when
-march=armv8.2-a+profile is given.
The patches in this series:
- Add the new command line option and feature flags.
- Add the new system registers.
- Adjust the maximum number of aliases permitted for an instruction.
- Add support for HINT aliases which take operands.
- Add the new instruction, an alias of the HINT instruction.
This patch adds the option "profile" to the permitted architecture
extensions, disabling it by default.

ARMv8.2 adds optional support for 16-bit operations to the FP and
Adv.SIMD instructions. This patch adds a feature macro for this support
with a new command line option "+fp16" to enable/disable it.
Although the command line option is added as an architecture extension,
it only affects instructions available with when +fp or +simd is
enabled. If +fp16 is specified then it will also enable +fp.
There are currently no FP16 instructions implemented in binutils, this
patch is to enable subsequent work on supporting the extension.

This patch adds support to the AArch64 back-end for the Cortex-A35
processor, as recently announced by ARM. The ARM Cortex-A35 provides
full support for the ARMv8-A architecture, including the CRC extension,
with optional Advanced-SIMD and Floating-Point support. We therefore set
feature flags for this CPU to AARCH64_ARCH_V8 and AARCH64_FEATURE_CRC, in
the same fashion as Cortex-A53 and Cortex-A57.
Tested in a cross environment for AArch64 with no issues.

Back in the day support for these processors was added, we probably
didn't want to waste PPC_OPCODE bits on minor variations. I've had a
complaint that disassembly of mfspr/mtspr was wrong for power8. This
patch fixes that problem.
Note that since -m860/-m850/-m821 are new gas options enabling the
mpc8xx specific mfspr/mtspr variants it is possible that this change
will break some mpc8xx assembly code. ie. you might need to modify
makefiles to pass -m860 to gas.

This patch adds the ability to automatically construct a section name
based on the prior section.
When gas is invoked with --sectname-subst, the occurrence of %S in a
section name will be substituted by the name of the current section. For
example:
.macro exception_code
.pushsection %S.exception
[exception code here]
.popsection
.endm
.text
[code]
exception_code
[...]
.section .init
[init code]
exception_code
[...]
The first and second exception_code invocations create the
.text.exception and the .init.exception sections respectively. This is
useful e.g. to discriminate between anciliary sections that are tied to
.init code and can be discarded at run time when initialization is over
vs anciliary sections tied to .text sections that need to stay resident.
