[PATCH 0/9] Add support for the SPARC M7 cpu to binutils

["Jose E. Marchesi" <jose dot marchesi at oracle dot com>]

Hi Hackers.

This set of patches updates GNU binutils to support the new registers
and instructions introduced in the Oracle SPARC Architecture 2015
(OSA2015) and implemented by the M7 processor.

First a small cleanup is performed in the SPARC opcodes table and also
in the architectures table in the assembler, in order to facilitate
the addition of new architectures.  Then a new GAS architecture is
introduced for the M7 hardware capabilities (v9m), and finally the
instructions and registers themselves are added.

Every patch introducing new user-visible functionalities includes a
documentation update.

The whole set of patches has been tested in the following
configurations:

   host                          target
   ----                          ------
   sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu     sparc64-unknown-linux-gnu
   x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu      sparc64-unkwnon-linux-gnu

No visible regressions found.

Jose E. Marchesi (9):
  binutils,gas,opcodes.elf: remove never used SPARC features and
    upgrade hwcaps.
  gas: simplify the SPARC architectures table and add missing hwcaps to
    `sparc4'.
  gas: document the command line options to select the SPARC v9e
    architecture.
  binutils,gas,bfd: support an extended set of SPARC hardware
    capabilities.
  gas: new SPARC architectures: sparc5, v9m and v8plusm.
  gas, opcodes: SPARC M7 support: xmpmul, xmontmul and xmontsqr
    instructions.
  gas, opcodes: SPARC M7 support: %mwait ancillary state register and
    associated instructions.
  gas, opcodes: SPARC M7 support: %mcdper ancillary state register.
  gas, opcodes: SPARC M7 support: sparc5/vis4.0 instructions.
