aarch64: Add base support for Armv8-R
This patch adds the basic infrastructure needed to support Armv8-R in AArch64 binutils: new command-line flags, new feature bits, a new BFD architecture, and support for differentiating between architecture variants in the disassembler. The new command-line options added by this patch are -march=armv8-r in GAS and -m aarch64:armv8-r in objdump. The disassembler support is necessary since Armv8-R AArch64 introduces a system register (VSCTLR_EL2) which shares an encoding with a different system register (TTBR0_EL2) in Armv8-A. This also allows us to use the correct preferred disassembly for the new DFB alias introduced in Armv8-R. bfd/ChangeLog: 2020-09-08 Alex Coplan <alex.coplan@arm.com> * archures.c (bfd_mach_aarch64_8R): New. * bfd-in2.h: Regenerate. * cpu-aarch64.c (bfd_aarch64_arch_v8_r): New.
