Armv8.3-A has another key used in pointer authentication called the
B-key (other than the A-key that is already supported). In order for
stack unwinders to work it is necessary to be able to identify frames
that have been signed with the B-key rather than the A-key and it was
felt that keeping this as an augmentation character in the CIE was the
best bet. The DWARF extensions for ARM therefore propose to add a new
augmentation character 'B' to the CIE augmentation string and the
corresponding cfi directive ".cfi_b_key_frame". I've made the relevant
changes to GAS and LD to add support for B-key unwinding, which required
modifying LD to check for 'B' in the augmentation string, adding the
".cfi_b_key_frame" directive to GAS and adding a "pauth_key" field to
GAS's fde_entry and cie_entry structs.
The pointer authentication instructions will behave as NOPs on
architectures that don't support them, and so a check for the
architecture being assembled for is not necessary since there will be no
behavioural difference between augmentation strings with and without the
'B' character on such architectures.

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).

We got a report from the linux-arm-kernel folks about getting spurious
warnings when building the kernel with binutils 2.29. See
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg599929.html
which boils down to this testcase.
$> cat /tmp/tst.s
lr .req x30
/tmp/tst.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/tst.s:1: Warning: ignoring attempt to redefine built-in register 'lr'
Instead let's treat this as a proper alias at startup time thus
avoiding the problem and treating these as proper aliases
rather than new registers. This means that attempts to redefine
the alias with the same "name" will provoke no warning and attempts
to redefine the alias to something else will provoke the above mentioned
warning.
Tested make check-gas and no regressions.
Ok to apply to trunk (and backport to 2.29 branch)?

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.

ARMv8.1 includes CRC as a required extension but this isn't reflected in
the features enabled by -march=armv8.1-a. The FP16 feature modifier also
clashes with AARCH64_FEATURE_V8_1 and the list of features for ARMv8.2
is missing ARMv8.1 features.
This patch enables +crc for -march values of armv8.1-a and later. It
also fixes the values for AARCH64_FEATURE_F16 and makes
AARCH64_ARCH_V8_2 and superset of AARCH64_ARCH_V8_2.

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.

ARMv8.2 is an architectural extension of ARMv8. This patch adds an
architecture feature macro for ARMv8.2 to the binutils AArch64 target
with GAS command line option -march=armv8.2-a.

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.
This patch adds -mcpu=thunderx support to gas.
OK? Tested with no regressions.
ChangeLog:
* config/tc-aarch64.c (aarch64_cpus):
Add thunderx.
* doc/c-aarch64.texi: Document that thunderx
is a valid processor name.
