Add .nop assembler directive
Implement the '.nop SIZE[, CONTROL]' assembler directive, which emits SIZE bytes filled with no-op instructions. SIZE is absolute expression. The optional CONTROL byte controls how no-op instructions should be generated. If the comma and @var{control} are omitted, CONTROL is assumed to be zero. For Intel 80386 and AMD x86-64 targets, CONTROL byte specifies the size limit of a single no-op instruction. The valid values of CONTROL byte are between 0 and 8 for 16-bit mode, between 0 and 10 for 32-bit mode, between 0 and 11 for 64-bit mode. When 0 is used, the no-op size limit is set to the maximum supported size. 2 new relax states, rs_space_nop and rs_fill_nop, are added to enum _relax_state, which are similar to rs_space and rs_fill, respectively, but they fill with no-op instructions, instead of a single byte. A target backend must override the default md_generate_nops to generate proper no-op instructions. Otherwise, an error of unimplemented .nop directive will be issued whenever .nop directive is used. * NEWS: Mention .nop directive. * as.h (_relax_state): Add rs_space_nop and rs_fill_nop. * read.c (potable): Add .nop.
