gas: Add --gdwarf-cie-version command line flag
Add a flag to control the version of CIE that is generated. By
default gas produces CIE version 1, and this continues to be the
default after this patch.
However, a user can now provide --gdwarf-cie-version=NUMBER to switch
to either version 3 or version 4 of CIE, version 2 was never released,
and so causes an error as does any number less than 1 or greater than
4.
Producing version 4 CIE requires two new fields to be added to the
CIE, an address size field, and an segment selector field. For a flat
address space the DWARF specification indicates that the segment
selector should be 0, and the address size fields just contains the
address size in bytes. For now we support 4 or 8 byte addresses, and
the segment selector is always produced as 0. At some future time we
might need to allow targets to override this.
gas/ChangeLog:
* as.c (parse_args): Parse --gdwarf-cie-version option.
(flag_dwarf_cie_version): New variable.
* as.h (flag_dwarf_cie_version): Declare.
* dw2gencfi.c (output_cie): Switch from DW_CIE_VERSION to
flag_dwarf_cie_version.
* doc/as.texi (Overview): Document --gdwarf-cie-version.
* NEWS: Likewise.
* testsuite/gas/cfi/cfi.exp: Add new tests.
* testsuite/gas/cfi/cie-version-0.d: New file.
* testsuite/gas/cfi/cie-version-1.d: New file.
