New point version
{{{
This release contains numerous bug fixes, and also the following new
features:
Assembler:
* Adds support for the Arm Scalable Vector Extension version 2
(SVE2) instructions, the Arm Transactional Memory Extension (TME)
instructions and the Armv8.1-M Mainline and M-profile Vector
Extension (MVE) instructions.
* Adds support for the Arm Cortex-A76AE, Cortex-A77 and Cortex-M35P
processors and the AArch64 Cortex-A34, Cortex-A65, Cortex-A65AE,
Cortex-A76AE, and Cortex-A77 processors.
* Adds a .float16 directive for both Arm and AArch64 to allow
encoding of 16-bit floating point literals.
* For MIPS, Add -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc option to fix (or not)
Loongson3 LLSC Errata. Add a --enable-mips-fix-
loongson3-llsc=[yes|no]
configure time option to set the default behavior. Set the default
if the configure option is not used to "no".
Linker:
* The Cortex-A53 Erratum 843419 workaround now supports a choice of
which workaround to use. The option --fix-cortex-a53-843419 now
takes an optional argument --fix-cortex-a53-843419[=full|adr|adrp]
which can be used to force a particular workaround to be used.
See --help for AArch64 for more details.
* Add support for GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI and
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_PAC in ELF GNU program properties
in the AArch64 ELF linker.
* Add -z force-bti for AArch64 to enable
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
on output while warning about missing
GNU_PROPERTY_AARCH64_FEATURE_1_BTI
on inputs and use PLTs protected with BTI.
* Add -z pac-plt for AArch64 to pick PAC enabled PLTs.
Utilities:
* Add --source-comment[=<txt>] option to objdump which if present,
provides a prefix to source code lines displayed in a disassembly.
* Add --set-section-alignment <section-name>=<power-of-2-align>
option to objcopy to allow the changing of section alignments.
* Add --verilog-data-width option to objcopy for verilog targets to
control width of data elements in verilog hex format.
* The separate debug info file options of readelf (--debug-dump=links
and --debug-dump=follow) and objdump (--dwarf=links and
--dwarf=follow-links) will now display and/or follow multiple
links if more than one are present in a file. (This usually
happens when gcc's -gsplit-dwarf option is used).
In addition objdump's --dwarf=follow-links now also affects its
other display options, so that for example, when combined with
--syms it will cause the symbol tables in any linked debug info
files to also be displayed. In addition when combined with
--disassemble the --dwarf= follow-links option will ensure that
any symbol tables in the linked files are read and used when
disassembling code in the main file.
* Add support for dumping types encoded in the Compact Type Format
to objdump and readelf.
