The RAS extension was introduced as part of the ARMv8.2 architecture
where it is a required feature. It is also available as an optional
feature for ARMv8 and ARMv8.1. In binutils, the RAS extension is
currently enabled by default for -march=armv8.2-a but is not available
for -march=armv8 or -march=armv8.1-a.
This patch adds the feature extension '+ras' to enable the RAS extension
for ARMv8 and ARMv8.1, it is disabled by default.

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

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.
