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.
Ensure that this isn't one of the registers used for passing arguments.
* Correctly handle FMA instructions with memory operands.
* Print a warning if FMA instructions are used without the correct cpuflag.
* Simplify the instantiation code.
* 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.
Change ALLOC_STACK to always align the stack before allocating stack space for
consistency. Previously alignment would occur either before or after allocating
stack space depending on whether manual alignment was required or not.
Only two functions that use xop multiply-accumulate instructions where the
first operand is the same as the fourth actually took advantage of the macros.
This further reduces differences with x264's x86inc.

The bug was fixed in 1.3.0, so only perform the workaround in earlier versions.

This commit 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`).

We need the emulation to support the cases where the first
argument is the same as the fourth. To achieve this a fifth
argument working as a temporary may be needed.
Emulation that doesn't obey the original instruction semantics
can't be in x86inc.

Automatically use VEX-encoding in AVX/AVX2/XOP/FMA3/FMA4
functions for all instructions that exists in a VEX-encoded
version.
This change makes it easier to extend existing code to use AVX2.
Also add support for AVX emulation of a few instructions that
were missing before.

Prevents a crash if the misaligned exception mask bit is
cleared for some reason.
Misaligned SSE functions are only used on AMD Phenom CPUs
and the benefit is miniscule. They also require modifying
the MXCSR control register and by removing those functions
we can get rid of that complexity altogether.
