[PATCH 6/8][Binutils][AArch64] Close sequences at the end of sections

[Tamar Christina]

Hi All,

Any open sequence at the end of a section or assembly is considered an error.
This patch adds a check at the end to ensure that all sequences have been closed
and if not reports a warning.

During disassembly it's not possible to detect this condition in the back-end so
the warning is only emitted from the assembler for now.

build on native hardware and regtested on
aarch64-none-elf, aarch64-none-elf (32 bit host),
aarch64-none-linux-gnu

Cross-compiled and regtested on
aarch64-none-linux-gnu, aarch64_be-none-linux-gnu

and no issues.

Ok for master??

Thanks,
Tamar
