Changes in 2.36:
* Add support for Intel AVX VNNI instructions.
* Add support for Intel HRESET instruction.
* Add support for Intel UINTR instructions.
* Support non-absolute segment values for i386 lcall and ljmp.
* When setting the link order attribute of ELF sections, it is now
possible to
use a numeric section index instead of symbol name.
* Add support for Cortex-A78, Cortex-A78AE, Cortex-A78C and Cortex-X1 for
AArch64 and ARM.
Add support for Cortex-R82, Neoverse V1, and Neoverse N2 for ARM.
* Add support for ETMv4 (Embedded Trace Macrocell), ETE (Embedded Trace
Extension), TRBE (Trace Buffer Extension)and BRBE (Branch Record Buffer
Extension) system registers for AArch64.
* Add support for Armv8-R and Armv8.7-A AArch64.
* Add support for DSB memory nXS barrier, WFET and WFIT instruction for
Armv8.7
AArch64.
* Add support for +flagm feature for -march in Armv8.4 AArch64.
* Add support for +ls64 feature for -march in Armv8.7 AArch64. Add atomic
64-byte load/store instructions for this feature.
* Add support for +pauth (Pointer Authentication) feature for -march in
AArch64.
* Add support for Intel TDX instructions.
* Add support for Intel Key Locker instructions.
* Added a .nop directive to generate a single no-op instruction in a
target
neutral manner. This instruction does have an effect on DWARF line
number
generation, if that is active.
* Removed --reduce-memory-overheads and --hash-size as gas now
uses hash tables that can be expand and shrink automatically.
* Add {disp16} pseudo prefix to x86 assembler.
* Add support for Intel AMX instructions.
* Configure with --enable-x86-used-note by default for Linux/x86.
* Add support for the SHF_GNU_RETAIN flag, which can be applied to
sections using the 'R' flag in the .section directive.
SHF_GNU_RETAIN specifies that the section should not be garbage
collected by the linker. It requires the GNU or FreeBSD ELF OSABIs.
