x86: Extend assembler to generate GNU property notes
Add -mx86-used-note=[yes|no] option to generate (or not) GNU property notes with GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_2_USED and GNU_PROPERTY_X86_ISA_1_USED properties. If the assembly input contains no instructions, set the GNU_PROPERTY_X86_UINT32_VALID bit in GNU_PROPERTY_X86_FEATURE_2_USED property. Add a --enable-x86-used-note configure time option to set the default behavior. Set the default if the configure option is not used to "no". * NEWS: Mention -mx86-used-note=[no|yes]. * configure.ac: Add --enable-x86-used-note. Define DEFAULT_X86_USED_NOTE. * config.in: Regenerated. * configure: Likewise. * config/tc-i386.c (x86_isa_1_used): New. (x86_feature_2_used): Likewise. (x86_used_note): Likewise. (_i386_insn): Add has_regmmx, has_regxmm, has_regymm and has_regzmm. (build_modrm_byte): Set i.has_regmmx, i.has_regzmm. i.has_regymm and i.has_regxmm. (x86_cleanup): New function. (output_insn): Update x86_isa_1_used and x86_feature_2_used. (OPTION_X86_USED_NOTE): New. (md_longopts): Add -mx86-used-note=. (md_parse_option): Handle OPTION_X86_USED_NOTE. (md_show_usage): Display -mx86-used-note=. * config/tc-i386.h (x86_cleanup): New prototype. (md_cleanup): New. * doc/c-i386.texi: Document -mx86-used-note=.
