[ARM] Add support for ARMv8-R in assembler and readelf
=== Context === This patch is part of a patch series to add support for ARMv8-R architecture. Its purpose is to add support for ARMv8-R in GAS: instructions, build attributes and readelf. === Patch description === Although some differences exist for system registers, from GAS point of view ARMv8-R supports the same instructions as ARMv8-A Aarch32 state and a subset of its extensions. This patch therefore introduce a new feature bit to distinguish the availability of the pan, ras and rdma extensions between ARMv8-A and ARMv8-R and allow crypto, fp and simd extensions to be used by ARMv8-R. Most of the changes are then in the testsuite to (i) rename source files and error output to be shared between ARMv8-A and ARMv8-R, (ii) rename files with expected output for ARMv8-A build attributes and (iii) add new files with expected output for ARMv8-R build attributes. 2017-06-24 Thomas Preud'homme <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com> binutils/ * readelf.c (arm_attr_tag_CPU_arch): Fill value for ARMv8-R. gas/ * NEWS: Mention support for ARMv8-R architecture. * config/tc-arm.c (arm_archs): Add entry for ARMv8-R.
