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
aarch64/asm.S.
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.

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.

When all the codepaths using manually set .arch/.fpu code is
behind runtime detection, the elf attributes should be suppressed.
This allows tools to know that the final built binary doesn't
strictly require these extensions.

If linking in an object file without this attribute set, the
linker will assume that an executable stack might be needed.

This makes the generated assembly more internally consistent,
avoiding declaring two labels for the same function (for cases
where EXTERN_ASM is empty) and not declaring a separate unprefixed
label in other cases.
This also makes sure the .func and .type delcarations have the same
prefix. They have previously not been used on the platforms
that have prefixed symbols on arm (iOS), but gas-preprocessor
has recently started using the .func declarations for adding
.thumb_func declarations for such functions.

The function macro always sets .align 2 before declaring the
function label (since 5c5e1ea3) and always sets the section to
.text (since 278caa6a).
The .align 5 before certain functions, added in fc252eba, were added
before .text and .align were added to the function macro and thus
became useless/unused when the function macro got them.
This restores the original intention, to align the loop entry
points.

This matches the other eabi attribute in the same file. This is

This is consistent with usual ARM nomenclature as well as with the

All our ARM asm preserves alignment so setting this attribute

LDR with register offset and PC as base register is not available in

When building Thumb2 code, the end of a function, where the PIC
offsets are placed, need not be aligned. Although the values
are only accessed with instructions allowing unaligned addresses,
keeping them aligned is preferable.

This creates proper position independent code when accessing
data symbols if CONFIG_PIC is set.
References to external symbols should now use the movrelx macro.
Some additional code changes are required since this macro may
need a register to hold the GOT pointer.

Due to apprent bugs in the GNU assembler and/or linker, relocations
can be incorrectly processed if the alignment of a Thumb instruction
is changed in the output file compared to the input object.
This fixes crashes in h264 decoding with Thumb enabled. No effect in
ARM mode since everything is 4-byte aligned there.

This prevents build errors when compiler and assembler default
targets differ. Ideally each file would declare the highest
level it requires. This is however not easily possible as it
complicates assembling pre-armv6t2 code in Thumb-2 mode.
HAVE_NEON is used as indicator for ARMv7-A since no other
symbol exists for this and NEON is only available in this
variant.

Apparently Apple platforms do not handle movw/movt relocations
properly, leading to runtime crashes in code using them.

This ensures code always goes into the .text section and avoids the
need to specify it explicitly after changing sections.
