Enhance objdump's --disassemble switch so that it can now take an optional parameter, specifying the starting symbol for disassembly. Disassembly will continue from this symbol up to the next symbol.
* objdump.c (long_options): Have the --disassemble option take an optional argument. (usage): Add description for the `symbol' argument to the --disassemble option. (disasm_sym): New file private variable. (struct objdump_disasm_info): New field `symbol'. (disassemble_section): Introduce `do_print' local variable to control whether objdump displays the result of disassembling for a symbol or not. (main): Set `symbol' file private variable if the option argument for the --disassemble option is given. * doc/binutils.texi (objdump): Add description for the option argument. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * testsuite/binutils-all/objdump.exp: Add tests of the -d and --disassemble=<symbol> options. * testsuite/binutils-all/bintest.s: Add more symbols and code. * testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.s: Update expected output. * testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.ss-64: Likewise. * testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.ss-mips: Likewise. * testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.ss-tmips: Likewise.

* The MIPS port now supports the Loongson 2K1000 processor which implements
the MIPS64r2 ISA, the Loongson-mmi ASE, Loongson-cam ASE, Loongson-ext ASE,
Loongson-ext2 ASE and MSA ASE instructions. Add -march=gs264e option for
