gas, bfd, gold: Rename Arm v8/v9 architecture tags
This patch renames Arm architecture tags to include profile suffixes (A, R, M) for consistency across binutils components.
This patch renames Arm AEABI CPU architecture tag constants and macro definitions within gas, bfd, and gold to consistently include the profile suffix (A, R, or M) for A-profile architectures. The existing numeric tag values are preserved during this renaming. The patch updates the usage of these tags in BFD, GAS, and Gold, including attribute combination tables, architecture checks, and mach selection.
In Details
This patch focuses on standardizing the naming of Arm architecture tags used within binutils components (BFD, GAS, Gold). The changes ensure consistency in how Arm architecture profiles (A, R, M) are identified, particularly within the context of AEABI (Arm Embedded ABI). The patch modifies bfd/archures.c, bfd/bfd-in2.h, bfd/cpu-arm.c, bfd/elf32-arm.c, elfcpp/arm.h, gas/config/tc-arm.c, gold/arm.cc, include/elf/arm.h, and opcodes/arm-dis.c.
For Context
This patch addresses the naming conventions used to identify different versions and types of Arm processors within the binutils toolchain. Arm processors come in various profiles (A, R, and M) designed for different applications. This change ensures that the naming of these processors within the binutils source code is consistent and clear, making it easier for developers to work with Arm-based systems. Binutils is a collection of tools essential for software development, including the assembler (gas), linker (ld), and binary file descriptor library (bfd).
