Changes
=======
Kernels
-------
Several bug fixes in different kernels. The NEON implementations of the
following kernels have been fixed:
* 32f_x2_add_32f
* 32f_x2_dot_prod_32f
* 32fc_s32fc_multiply_32fc
* 32fc_x2_multiply_32fc
Additionally the NEON asm based 32f_x2_add_32f protokernels were not being used
and are now included and available for use via the dispatcher.
The 32f_s32f_x2_fm_detect_32f kernel now has a puppet. This solves QA seg
faults on 32-bit machines and provide a better test for this kernel.
The 32fc_s32fc_x2_rotator_32fc generic protokernel replaced cabsf with hypotf
for better Android support.
Building
--------
Static builds now trigger the applications (volk_profile and volk-config-info)
to be statically linked.
The file gcc_x86_cpuid.h has been removed since it was no longer being used.
Previously it provided cpuid functionality for ancient compilers that we do
not support.
All build types now use -Wall.
QA and Testing
--------------
The documentation around the --update option to volk_profile now makes it clear
that the option will only profile kernels without entries in volk_profile. The
signature of run_volk_tests with expanded args changed signed types to unsigned
types to reflect the actual input.
The remaining changes are all non-functional changes to address issues from
Coverity.
