[PATCH v3] [MIPS] GAS: Fix Loongson3 LLSC errata


From: Paul Hua <paul.hua.gm@gmail.com>

In some older Loongson 3A1000 processors there is a LL/SC errata that
can cause the CPU to deadlock occasionally.  The details are very
complicated. We find a way to workaround this errata by
  1) add a sync before ll/lld instruction.
  2) if there is an branch instruction between ll/sc pair, insert a
     sync at the target.

This patch also add a configure options
--enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=[yes|no] to enable fix-loongson3-llsc
by config.

v1 -> v2:
  Regenerate configure file with the same version fo autotools,
  to make the patch shorter.
v2 -> v3:
  Insert a sync at the target of the branch between ll/sc pair.

        * NEWS: Mention -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc.
        * configure.ac: Add --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc.
          Define DEFAULT_MIPS_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC.
        * config.in: Regenerated.
        * configure: Likewise.
        * config/tc-mips.c (sync_insn, mips_fix_loongson3_llsc):
          New variables.
        (options): New OPTION_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC,
          OPTION_NO_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC.
        (md_longopts): Add -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc.
        (md_begin): Initialize sync insn.
        (fix_loongson3_llsc): New.
        (append_insn): Call fix_loongson3_llsc.
        (md_parse_option): Handle OPTION_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC,
          OPTION_NO_FIX_LOONGSON3_LLSC.
        (md_show_usage): Display -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc.
        * doc/c-mips.texi: Document -m[no-]fix-loongson3-llsc,
          --enable-mips-fix-loongson3-llsc=[yes|no].
