[AArch64][Patch 1/5] Support the ARMv8.2 Statistical Profiling Extension.
The Statistical Profile extension included in the ARMv8.2 architecture adds a number of system registers and a new instruction. This patch set adds support for the extension to binutils, enabled when -march=armv8.2-a+profile is given. The patches in this series: - Add the new command line option and feature flags. - Add the new system registers. - Adjust the maximum number of aliases permitted for an instruction. - Add support for HINT aliases which take operands. - Add the new instruction, an alias of the HINT instruction. This patch adds the option "profile" to the permitted architecture extensions, disabling it by default. gas/ 2015-12-11 Matthew Wahab <matthew.wahab@arm.com> * config/tc-aarch64.c (aarch64_features): Add "profile". * doc/c-aarch64.texi (AArch64 Extensions): Add "profile". include/opcode/ 2015-12-11 Matthew Wahab <matthew.wahab@arm.com> * aarch64.h (AARCH64_FEATURE_PROFILE): New.
