This patch implements the dsp, fp and fp.dp extensions for Armv8.1-M Mainline.
This patch also removes the fp-armv8 check from the half-precision move
instructions 'do_neon_movhf', as checking that the FP16 instructions extension
feature bit is enabled 'ARM_EXT2_FP16_INST' is enough.

This patch adds a new framework to add architecture sensitive extensions, like
GCC does. This patch also implements all architecture extensions currently
available in GCC.
This framework works as follows. To enable architecture sensitive extensions
for a particular architecture, that architecture must contain an ARM_ARCH_OPT2
entry in the 'arm_archs' table. All fields here are the same as previous, with
the addition of a new extra field at the end to <name> it's extension table.
This <name>, corresponds to a <name>_ext_table of type 'struct arm_ext_table'.
This struct can be filled with three types of entries:
ARM_ADD (string <ext>, arm_feature_set <enable_bits>), which means +<ext> will
enable <enable_bits>
ARM_REMOVE (string <ext>, arm_feature_set <disable_bits>), which means
+no<ext> will disable <disable_bits>
ARM_EXT (string <ext>, arm_feature_set <enable_bits>, arm_feature_set
<disable_bits>), which means +<ext> will enable <enable_bits> and +no<ext>
will disable <disable_bits> (this is to be used instead of adding an
ARM_ADD and ARM_REMOVE for the same <ext>)
This patch does not disable the use of the old extensions, even if some of them
are duplicated in the new tables. This is a "in-between-step" as we may want to
deprecate the old table of extensions in later patches. For now, GAS will first
look for the +<ext> or +no<ext> in the new table and if no entry is found it
will continue searching in the old table, following old behaviour. If only an
ARM_ADD or an ARM_REMOVE is defined for <ext> and +no<ext> or +<ext> resp. is
used then it also continues to search the old table for it.
A couple of caveats:
- This patch does not enable the use of these architecture extensions with the
'.arch_extension' directive. This is future work that I will tend to later.
- This patch does not enable the use of these architecture extensions with the
-mcpu option. This is future work that I will tend to later.
- This patch does not change the current behaviour when combining an
architecture extension and using -mfpu on the command-line. The current
behaviour of GAS is to stage the union of feature bits enabled by both -march
and -mfpu. GCC behaves differently here, so this is something we may want to
revisit on a later date.
This adds support for the Arm Ares CPU in the arm port.
It implements the Armv8.2-A architecture with the relevant optional
features
of dot product and FP16 on by default.
Note: Ares is a codename to enable early adopters and in time
we will add the final product name once it's announced.

This patch is part of the patch series to add support for ARMv8.5-A
extensions.
(https://developer.arm.com/products/architecture/cpu-architecture/a-profile/exploration-tools)
This patch adds the Execution and Data Prediction Restriction
instructions (that is, cfprctx, dvprxtc, cpprctx). These are all
aliases to MCR and are disassembled as such.
This instruction is retrospectively made optional for all versions of
the architecture from ARMv8.0 to ARMv8.4 and is mandatory from
ARMv8.5. Hence adding a new +predres for older versions of the
architecture.

Documentation for .arch and .cpu directives currently says that it

However it only accept the architecture/CPU part of those options: it

accepted.

Binutils documentation uses a mix of spelling for the compound word
"command-line X". According to [1]:
"Sometimes compound words are written separately (nail polish),
sometimes with a hyphen (short-sighted) and sometimes as one word
(eyelashes). Often new compounds are written as two separate words and,
as they become more familiar, they are either connected with a hyphen
(-) or made into one word."
I think command-line X is common enough in our industry that the two
workds command and line should be connected. Since command-line is more
common than commandline, I propose to update binutils documentation to
consistently use "command-line" when this is used as an adjective to a
noun (eg. command-line argument, command-line switch, command-line
option and command-line flag). I've left occurences of "the command
line" as is. I've also left gdb, sim and readline alone and have only
touched public documentation (texi and NEWS files).

The ARM Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A75 procsessors implement the ARMv8-A

including support for the 16-bit floating point extensions.
The 16-bit floating-point extensions are optional, and we haven't defined
an option mapping straight to them thus far, so this patch first needs to
add one of those in include/opcode/arm.h, then we can simply add the CPU names
as usual in config/tc-arm.c .

=== Context ===
This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-R
architecture. Its purpose is to add support for ARMv8-R in GAS:
instructions, build attributes and readelf.
=== Patch description ===
Although some differences exist for system registers, from GAS point of
view ARMv8-R supports the same instructions as ARMv8-A Aarch32 state
and a subset of its extensions. This patch therefore introduce a new
feature bit to distinguish the availability of the pan, ras and rdma
extensions between ARMv8-A and ARMv8-R and allow crypto, fp and simd
extensions to be used by ARMv8-R.
Most of the changes are then in the testsuite to (i) rename source files
and error output to be shared between ARMv8-A and ARMv8-R, (ii) rename
files with expected output for ARMv8-A build attributes and (iii) add
new files with expected output for ARMv8-R build attributes.

Having looked through the list only one (neon-fp16) really should be

This patch adds the missing entries and notes in the main table that
the other two entries should not be documented.
I've also fixed a small spelling error in the accompanying text.

documented.
* doc/c-arm.texi (-mfpu): Add missing FPU entries for neon-vfpv3 and
neon-fp16. Fix spelling error.
ARMv8.3 is an architectural extension of ARMv8. Add the

This adds an option for the Qualcomm falkor core, the corresponding
gcc patch is here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-11/msg00262.html
This was tested with aarch64 and armhf builds and make check and also
by building and running SPEC2006.

This patch adds the architecture extension "+ras" to enable RAS
support. It is enabled by default for -march=armv8.2-a and available but
disabled by default for armv8-a and armv8.1-a.

(process_section_headers): Add y letter in readelf section output
key mapping for ARM architecture.
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
e: 021b lsls r3, r3, #8
10: 3300 adds r3, #0
10: R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G0_NC foo
ARMv8.2 is an architectural extension of ARMv8. This patch adds an
architecture feature macro for ARMv8.2 to the binutils ARM target
with GAS command line option -march=armv8.2-a.
