This patch is part of a series that adds support for the Armv8.m
ARMv8.m Custom Datapath Extension to binutils.
This patch introduces the Custom Instructions Class 1/2/3 (Single/
Dual, Accumulator/Non-accumulator varianats) to the arm backend.
The following Custom Instructions are added: cx1, cx1a,
cx1d, cx1da, cx2, cx2a, cx2d, cx2da, cx3, cx3a, cx3d, cx3da.
Specification can be found at
https://developer.arm.com/docs/ddi0607/latest
This patch distinguishes between enabling CDE for different coprocessor
numbers by defining multiple architecture flags. This means that the
parsing of the architecture extension flags is kept entirely in the
existing code path.
We introduce a new IT block state to indicate the behaviour of these
instructions. This new state allows being used in an IT block or
outside an IT block, but does not allow the instruction to be used
inside a VPT block.
We need this since the CX*A instruction versions can be used in IT
blocks, but they aren't to have the conditional suffixes on them. Hence
we need to mark an instruction as allowed in either position.
We also need a new flag to objdump, in order to determine whether to
disassemble an instruction as CDE related or not.
Successfully regression tested on arm-none-eabi, and arm-wince-pe.

Half precision floating point numbers will be encoded using the IEEE 754
half precision floating point format - 16 bits in total, 1 for sign, 5
for exponent and 10 bits of mantissa.
This patch implements the float16 directive for both the IEEE 754 format
and the Arm alternative format for the Arm backend.
The syntax of the directive is:
.float16 <0-n decimal numbers>
e.g.
.float16 12.0
.float16 0.23, 433.1, 0.06
The Arm alternative format is almost identical to the IEEE 754 format,
except that it doesn't encode for NaNs or Infinity (instead an exponent
of 0x1F represents a normalized number in the range 65536 to 131008).
The alternative format is documented in the reference manual:
https://static.docs.arm.com/ddi0487/db/DDI0487D_b_armv8_arm.pdf?_ga=2.72318806.49764181.1561632697-999473562.1560847439
Which format is used is controlled by the .float16_format <format>
directive, where if <format> = ieee, then use the IEEE 754
half-precision format else if <format> = alternative, then use the
Arm alternative format
Or the format can be set on the command line via the -mfp16-format
option that has a similar syntax. -mfp16-format=<ieee|alternative>.
This also fixes the format and it cannot be changed by any directives.
Once the format has been set (either by the command line option or a directive) it cannot be changed,
and any attempts to change it (i.e. with the float16_format directive) will result in a warning and the
line being ignored.
For ELF targets the appropriate EABI attribute will be written out at the end of assembling
if the format has been explicitly specified. If no format has been explicitly specified then no
EABI attributes will be written.
If the format is not explicitly specified then any float16 directives are encoding using the IEEE 754-2008
format by default until the format is fixed or changed with the float16_format directive.

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.

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).

Documentation for .arch_extension says it accepts the same architectural

-march for obvious reason also accept the same extensions, I believe
it's worth mentioning that it accepts the same extensions as both

This patch adds support for the ARM Cortex-A55 and
Cortex-A75 processors.
The ARM Cortex-A55 and Cortex-A75 procsessors implement the ARMv8-A
architecture, with support for the ARMv8.1-A and ARMv8.2-A extensions,
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 .
Tested on arm-none-eabi.

=== 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.

Nick pointed out that I hadn't documented the new -mfpu option
neon-vfpv3 and mentioned that some others were missing.
Having looked through the list only one (neon-fp16) really should be
documented; the other two entries in the real table should not be
documented as they are aliases kept for legacy compatibility reasons.
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.
