The .insn directive can let users use their own instructions, or
some new instruction, which haven't supported in the old binutils.
For example, if users want to use sifive cache instruction, they
cannot just write "cflush.d1.l1" in the assembly code, they should
use ".insn i SYSTEM, 0, x0, x10, -0x40". But the .insn directive
may not easy to use for some cases, and not so friendly to users.
Therefore, I believe most of the users will use ".word 0xfc050073",
to encode the instructions directly, rather than use .insn. But
once we have supported the mapping symbols, the .word directives
are marked as data, so disassembler won't dump them as instructions
as usual. I have discussed this with Kito many times, we all think
extend the .insn direcitve to support the hardcode encoding, is the
easiest way to resolve the problem. Therefore, there are two more
.insn formats are proposed as follows,
(original) .insn <type>, <operand1>, <operand2>, ...
.insn <insn-length>, <value>
.insn <value>
The <type> is string, and the <insn-length> and <value> are constants.

Some frontends, like the gcc Objective-C frontend, emit symbols with $
characters in them. The AVR target code in gas treats $ as a line separator,
so the code doesn?t assemble correctly.

This is to be able to generate data acted upon by AVX512-BF16 and
AMX-BF16 insns. While not part of the IEEE standard, the format is
sufficiently standardized to warrant handling in config/atof-ieee.c.
Arm, where custom handling was implemented, may want to leverage this as
well. To be able to also use the hex forms supported for other floating
point formats, a small addition to the generic hex_float() is needed.
Extend existing x86 testcases.

The ELF psABI-s are quite clear here: On 32-bit the underlying data type
is 12 bytes long (with 2 bytes of trailing padding), while on 64-bit it
is 16 bytes long (with 6 bytes of padding). Make s_space() capable of
handling 'x' (and 'p') type floating point being other than 12 bytes
wide (also adjusting documentation). This requires duplicating the
definition of X_PRECISION in the target speciifc header; the compiler
would complain if this was out of sync with config/atof-ieee.c.
Note that for now padding space doesn't get separated from actual
storage, which means that things will work correctly only for little-
endian cases, and which also means that by specifying large enough
numbers padding space can be set to non-zero. Since the logic is needed
for a single little-endian architecture only for now, I'm hoping that
this might be acceptable for the time being; otherwise the change will
become more intrusive.
Note also that this brings the emitted data size of .ds.x vs .tfloat in
line for non-ELF targets as well; the issue will be even more obvious
when further taking into account a subsequent patch fixing .dc.x/.dcb.x
(where output sizes currently differ depending on input format).
Extend existing x86 testcases.
Intel AVX512 FP16 instructions use maps 3, 5 and 6. Maps 5 and 6 use 3 bits
in the EVEX.mmm field (0b101, 0b110). Map 5 is for instructions that were FP32
in map 1 (0Fxx). Map 6 is for instructions that were FP32 in map 2 (0F38xx).
There are some exceptions to this rule. Some things in map 1 (0Fxx) with imm8
operands predated our current conventions; those instructions moved to map 3.
FP32 things in map 3 (0F3Axx) found new opcodes in map3 for FP16 because map3
is very sparsely populated. Most of the FP16 instructions share opcodes and
prefix (EVEX.pp) bits with the related FP32 operations.
Intel AVX512 FP16 instructions has new displacements scaling rules, please refer
to the public software developer manual for detail information.

I've been repeatedly confused by, in particular, the .dc.a potable[]
entry being conditional. Grepping in gas/config/ reveals only very few
targets actually #define-ing it. But as of 7be1c4891a the symbol is
always defined, so #ifdef-s are pointless (and, as said, potentially
confusing).
Also adjust documentation to reflect this.
Use the pattern from other projects where we generate the html pages
in a dir named the same as the project. So now we have:
gas/doc/gas.html - single html page
gas/doc/gas/ - multiple html pages
This works for projects that have a doc/ subdir already, but gprof &
ld require a little tweaking since they generate their docs in their
respective toplevels.
This better matches other GNU projects like autoconf/automake where
the html manual is the single page form. We'll support the multi-page
form in a follow up change.
Its (documented) behavior is unhelpful in particular in 64-bit build
environments: While printing large 32-bit numbers in decimal already
isn't very meaningful to most people, this even more so goes for yet
larger 64-bit numbers. bfd_sprintf_vma() still tries to limit the number
of digits printed (without depending on a build system property), but
uniformly produces hex output.

The SHF_GNU_RETAIN section flag is an extension to the GNU ELF OSABI.
It is defined as follows:
=========================================================
Section Attribute Flags
+-------------------------------------+
| Name | Value |
+-------------------------------------+
| SHF_GNU_RETAIN | 0x200000 (1 << 21) |
+-------------------------------------+
SHF_GNU_RETAIN
The link editor should not garbage collect the section.
=========================================================
The .section directive accepts the "R" flag, which indicates
SHF_GNU_RETAIN should be applied to the section.
There is not a direct mapping of SHF_GNU_RETAIN to the BFD
section flag SEC_KEEP. Keeping these flags distinct allows
SHF_GNU_RETAIN sections to be explicitly removed by placing them in
/DISCARD/.
