The RISC-V assembler generates fake labels with the name '.L0 ' as
part of the debug information (see
gas/config/tc-riscv.h:FAKE_LABEL_NAME).
The problem is that currently, when disassembling an object file, the
output looks like this (this is an example from the GDB testsuite, but
is pretty representative of anything with debug information):

The frequent repeated '.L0 ' labels are pointless, as they are
non-unique there's no way to match a use of '.L0 ' to its appearence
in the output, so we'd be better off just not printing it at all.
That's what this patch does by defining a 'symbol_is_valid' method for
RISC-V. With this commit, the same disassembly now looks like this:
000000000000001e <main>:

In order to share the fake label between the assembler and the
libopcodes library, I've added some new defines RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_NAME
and RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_CHAR in include/opcode/riscv.h. I could have
just moved FAKE_LABEL_NAME to the include file, however, I thnk this
would be confusing, someone working on the assembler would likely not
expect to find FAKE_LABEL_NAME defined outside of the assembler source
tree. By introducing the RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_* defines I can leave the
assembler standard FAKE_LABEL_ defines in the assembler source, but
still share the RISCV_FAKE_LABEL_* with libopcodes.

We've decided to standardize on two flags for RISC-V: "-march" sets the
target architecture (which determines which instructions can be
generated), and "-mabi" sets the target ABI. We needed to rework this
because the old flag set didn't support soft-float or single-float ABIs,
and didn't support an x32-style ABI on RISC-V.
Additionally, we've changed the behavior of the -march flag: it's now a
lot stricter and only parses things we can actually understand.
Additionally, it's now lowercase-only: the rationale is that while the
RISC-V ISA manual specifies that ISA strings are case-insensitive, in
Linux-land things are usually case-sensitive. Since this flag can be
used to determine library paths, we didn't want to bake some
case-insensitivity in there that would case trouble later.
This patch implements these two new flags and removes the old flags that
could conflict with these. There wasn't a RISC-V release before, so we
want to just support a clean flag set.

Before this commit we didn't cleanly support CFI directives because the
internal offsets used to get relaxed which broke them. This patch
significantly reworks how we handle linker relaxations:
* DWARF is now properly supported
* There is a ".option norelax" to disable relaxations, for when users
write assembly that can't be relaxed (if it's to be later patched up,
for example).
* There is an additional _RELAX relocation that specifies when previous
relocations can be relaxed.
We're in the process of documenting the RISC-V ELF ABI, which will
include documentation of our relocations
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.md
but we expect that this relocation set will remain ABI compatible in the
future (ie, it's safe to release).
Thanks to Kuan-Lin Chen for figuring out how to correctly relax the
debug info!
