Max Filippov 148d638429 gas: xtensa: implement trampoline coalescing
There is a recurring pattern in assembly files generated by a compiler
where a lot of jumps in a function are going to the same place. When
these jumps are relaxed with trampolines the assembler generates a
separate jump thread from each source.
Create an index of trampoline jump targets for each segment and see if a
jump being relaxed goes to a location from that index, in which case
replace its target with a location of existing trampoline jump that
results in the shortest path to the original target.

	* config/tc-xtensa.c (trampoline_chain_entry, trampoline_chain)
	(trampoline_chain_index): New structures.
	(trampoline_index): Add chain_index field.
	(xg_order_trampoline_chain_entry, xg_sort_trampoline_chain)
	(xg_find_chain_entry, xg_get_best_chain_entry)
	(xg_order_trampoline_chain, xg_get_trampoline_chain)
	(xg_find_best_eq_target, xg_add_location_to_chain)
	(xg_create_trampoline_chain, xg_get_single_symbol_slot): New
	functions.
	(xg_relax_fixups): Call xg_find_best_eq_target to adjust jump
	target to point to an existing jump. Call
	xg_create_trampoline_chain to create new jump target. Call
	xg_add_location_to_chain to add newly created trampoline jump
	to the corresponding chain.
	(add_jump_to_trampoline): Extract loop searching for a single
	slot with a symbol into a separate function, replace that code
	with a call to that function.
	(relax_frag_immed): Call xg_find_best_eq_target to adjust jump
	target to point to an existing jump.
	* testsuite/gas/xtensa/all.exp: Add trampoline-2 test.
	* testsuite/gas/xtensa/trampoline.d: Adjust absolute addresses
	as many duplicate trampoline chains are now coalesced.
	* testsuite/gas/xtensa/trampoline.s: Add _nop so that objdump
	stays in sync with instruction stream.
	* testsuite/gas/xtensa/trampoline-2.l: New test result file.
	* testsuite/gas/xtensa/trampoline-2.s: New test source file.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
