Some debuggers/profilers use this metadata to determine which function a
given instruction is in; without it they get can confused by local labels
(if you haven't stripped those). On the other hand, some tools are still
confused even with this metadata. e.g. this fixes `gdb`, but not `perf`.
Currently only implemented for ELF.

The REP_RET workaround is only needed on old AMD cpus, and the labels clutter
up the symbol table and confuse debugging/profiling tools, so use EQU to
create SHN_ABS symbols instead of creating local labels. Furthermore, skip
the workaround completely in functions that definitely won't run on such cpus.
Note that EQU is just creating a local label when using nasm instead of yasm.
This is probably a bug, but at least it doesn't break anything.

When allocating stack space with a larger alignment than the known stack
alignment a temporary register is used for storing the stack pointer.

* Clarify documentation.
Only the last operand in FMA3 instructions can be a memory operand. When
converting FMA4 instructions to FMA3 instructions we can utilize the fact
that multiply is a commutative operation and reorder operands if necessary
to ensure that a memory operand is used only as the last operand.

Improves the accuracy of measurements, especially in short sections.
To quote the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual:
"The RDTSC instruction is not a serializing instruction. It does not necessarily
wait until all previous instructions have been executed before reading the counter.
Similarly, subsequent instructions may begin execution before the read operation
is performed. If software requires RDTSC to be executed only after all previous
instructions have completed locally, it can either use RDTSCP (if the processor
supports that instruction) or execute the sequence LFENCE;RDTSC."
SSE2 is a requirement for lfence so only use it on SSE2-capable systems.
Prefer lfence;rdtsc over rdtscp since rdtscp is supported on fewer systems.

Silences warning(s) like:
libavcodec/x86/fft.asm:93: warning: section flags ignored on
section redeclaration
The cause of this warning is that because `struc` and `endstruc`
attempts to revert to the previous section state [1].
The section state is stored in the macro __SECT__, defined by
x86inc.asm to be `.note.GNU-stack ...`, through the `SECTION`
directive [2].
Thus, the `.note.GNU-stack` section is defined twice
(once in x86inc.asm, once during `endstruc`), causing the warning.
That is the first part of the commit: using the primitive `[section]` format
for .note.GNU-stack etc., which does not update `__SECT__` [2].
That fixes only half of the problem. Even without any `SECTION` directives,
`__SECT__` is predefined as `.text`, which conflicting with the later
`SECTION_TEXT` (which expands to `.text align=16`).
