* config/tc-xtensa.c (find_trampoline_seg): Add static variable

There is a recurring pattern in assembly files generated by a compiler
where a lot of jumps in a function are going to the same place. When
these jumps are relaxed with trampolines the assembler generates a
separate jump thread from each source.
Create an index of trampoline jump targets for each segment and see if a
jump being relaxed goes to a location from that index, in which case
replace its target with a location of existing trampoline jump that
results in the shortest path to the original target.

Replace linked list of trampoline frags with an ordered array, so that
instead of indexing fixups trampolines could be indexed. Keep each array
in the trampoline_seg structure, so there's no need to rebuild it for
every new processed segment. Don't run relaxation for each trampoline
frag, instead run it for each fixup in the current segment that needs
relaxation at the beginning of each relaxation pass. This way the
complexity of this process drops from about O(n^2 * m) to about
O(log n * m), where n is the number of trampoline frags and m is the
number of fixups that need relaxation in the segment.

For one the register type used for masking should be validated. And then
we shouldn't accept input producing encodings which will #UD when
executed, as is the case when EVEX.Z is set while EVEX.AAA is zero.
Despite EVEX encodings not being available in real and VM86 modes,
16-bit addressing still needs to be handled properly for 16-bit
protected mode as well as 16-bit addressing in 32-bit mode. Neither
should displacements be dropped silently by the assembler, nor should
the disassembler fail to correctly scale 8-bit displacements.
Except for %eip-relative addressing, where we don't have a suitable
relocation type silently wrapping at the 4G boundary, consistently
force use of R_X86_64_32 (in ELF terms) instead of its sign-extending
counterpart. This wasn't right in case there was no base register in
the addressing expression.
Multiple errors are more confusing than helpful, as the more generic
one often implies a sufficiently different adjustment than would
actually be needed to fix the code. Additionally it makes it more
cumbersome to add missing error checks, as the testsuite then needs

Uses of reg_expected_msgs rely on each arm_reg_type enumerator to have a
message entry in the same order as the enumerator declaration. This is
not clearly stated in the definition of both the arm_reg_type enum and
the reg_expected_msgs. Worse, there is nothing to ensure both are kept
in sync.
As an attempt towards this, this patch uses C99 array designators to
ensure that each message is associated with the right arm_reg_type. A
comment is also added near the definition of arm_reg_type to point to
the reg_expected_msgs array. Finally, the array is synced with
arm_reg_type by adding the missing error message for REG_TYPE_RNB.

i386_finalize_displacement() expects baseindex to already be set, so
the respective statement needs to be moved up. This then also allows a
subsequent conditional to be simplified.
For this to not regress on 32-bit addressing, break out address size
guessing from i386_index_check(), invoking the new function earlier so
that i386_finalize_displacement() has i.prefix[ADDR_PREFIX] available.
i386_addressing_mode () in turn needs i.base_reg / i.index_reg set
earlier.
The new options are:
+aes: Enables the AES instructions of Armv8-a,
enabled by default with +crypto.
+sha2: Enables the SHA1 and SHA2 instructions of Armv8-a,
enabled by default with +crypto.
These options have been turned on by default when +crypto
is used, as such no breakage is expected.
The reason for the split is because with the introduction of Armv8.4-a
the implementation of AES has explicitly been made independent of the
implementation of the other crypto extensions. Backporting the split does
not break any of the previous requirements and so is safe to do.

This fixes some EH failures for the medany code model in the g++ testsuite.
The problem is that the assembler is computing some values in the eh_frame
section as constants, that instead should have had relocs to be resolved by
the linker. This happens in output_cfi_insn in the DW_CFA_advance_loc case
where it compares label frags and immediately simplifies if they are the
same. We can fix that by forcing a new frag after every instruction
that the linker can reduce in size. I've also added a testcase to verify
the fix. This was tested with binutils make check, and gcc/g++ make checks on
qemu for medlow and medany code models.

A few coprocessor instructions introduced in ARMv2 are currently

ldc2l, stc2, stc2l, cdp2, mcr2, mrc2, mcrr2, mrrc2
Guarded by: ARM_EXT_V6T2
Tests: copro-thumb_v6t2plus-thumb_v*.d
For each of these groups, at least 2 tests are performed:
* instructions are not available in earlier architecture
* instructions are available in architecture where they were introduced
More tests need to be performed when instructions in a group span
several assembly files.
Note that an instruction in the original coprocessor testcase is
changed to unified syntax to allow the testcase to be assembled for ARM
and Thumb state. Correct processing of legacy syntax is covered in other
testcases.

Systems without the C extension mandate 4-byte alignment for
instructions, so there is no reason to allow for 2-byte alignment. This
change avoids emitting lots of unimplemented instructions into object
files on non-C targets, which users keep reporting as a bug. While this
isn't actually a bug (as none of the offsets in object files are
relevant until RISC-V), it is ugly.

Fix a bug in MIPS n32 ELF object file generation and make such objects
consistent with the n32 BFD requested, by presetting the EF_MIPS_ABI2
flag in the `e_flags' member of the newly created ELF file header, as it
is this flag that tells n32 objects apart from o32 objects.
This flag will then stay set through to output file generation for
writers such as GAS or GDB's `generate-core-file' command. Readers will
overwrite the whole of `e_flags' along with the rest of the ELF file
header in `elf_swap_ehdr_in' and then verify in `mips_elf_n32_object_p'
that the flag is still set before accepting an input file as an n32
object.
The issue was discovered with GDB's `generate-core-file' command making
o32 core files out of n32 debuggees.
