This is much less precise than the cycle counter register, but
the cycle counter register is not available on apple platforms
(and on linux, it requires a kernel module for allowing user mode
access).

As .rodata isn't one of the default created sections for COFF, it was
created as a read-write data section. By using the default .rdata
section name for COFF, it automatically becomes a read-only data section.
The existing ".section .rodata" works as intended for ELF though.
This is based on an original patch and diagnose by Tom Tan
<Tom.Tan@microsoft.com>.

Prior to Xcode 9.3, the clang built-in assembler didn't support
altmacro, and gas-preprocessor was used for assembling for arm/darwin.
For thumb functions, gas-preprocessor took care of adding the .thumb_func
directives, but when now being able to assemble without gas-preprocessor,
we need to add these directives ourselves.

This is the same combination of .section directives as used in

Since Xcode 9.3, the bundled clang supports altmacro and doesn't
require using gas-preprocessor any longer.

When targeting windows, the .arch directive isn't available.
So far, when building for windows, we've always used gas-preprocessor,
both when using msvc's armasm and when using clang. Lately, clang/llvm
has implemented the last missing piece (altmacro support) for building
our assembly without gas-preprocessor. This means that we now build
for arm/windows with clang without any extra compatibility layer.

arm: warn/error on movrelx usage problematic with PIC on ELF
Merged-by: James Almer <jamrial@gmail.com>
We reset .Lpic_gp to zero at the start of each function, which means
that the logic within movrelx for clearing gp when necessary will
be missed.
This fixes using movrelx in different functions with a different
helper register.
This is cherry-picked from libav commit
824e8c2840.

The vector mode was deprecated in ARMv7-A/VFPv3 and various cpu
implementations do not support it in hardware. Vector mode code will
depending the OS either be emulated in software or result in an illegal
instruction on cpus which does not support it. This was not really
problem in practice since NEON implementations of the same functions are
preferred. It will however become a problem for checkasm which tests
every cpu flag separately.
Since this is a cpu feature newer cpu do not support anymore the
behaviour of this flag differs from the other flags. It can be only
activated by runtime cpu feature selection.
The C functions return uint8/16_t but that is effectively int not unsigned int
Fixes fate-filter-tblend
We do not return uint8/16_t as that would require the compiler to truncate the
values, slowing it down.

arm: Detect 32 bit cpu features on ARMv8 when running on a 64 bit kernel
Merged-by: Michael Niedermayer <michaelni@gmx.at>
When running on a 64 bit kernel, /proc/cpuinfo lists different
optional features than on 32 bit kernels (because some of them
are mandatory in the 64 bit implemenations).
The kernel does list the old features properly if they are queried
via /proc/self/auxv though - however this file is not always readable
(e.g. on most android systems). The getauxval function could also
provide the same info as /proc/self/auxv even if this file isn't
readable, but this function is not always available (and thus would
need to be loaded with dlsym for compatibility with older android
versions).
The android cpufeatures library does this slightly differently,
by assuming that these are available if the "CPU architecture"
line is >= 8, see [1] for details.
It has been suggested to include the old, non-optional features in
/proc/cpuinfo as well, but that suggested patch never was merged.
See [2] for the discussion around this suggestion.
