Implementation-wise, the main things to note here are:
- the WHILE* instructions have forms that return a pair of predicate
registers. This is the first time that we've had lists of predicate
registers, and they wrap around after register 15 rather than after
register 31.
- the predicate-as-counter WHILE* instructions have a fourth operand
that specifies the vector length. We can treat this as an enumeration,
except that immediate values aren't allowed.
- PEXT takes an unsuffixed predicate index of the form PN<n>[<imm>].
This is the first instance of a vector/predicate index having
no suffix.

SME2 adds LD1 and ST1 variants for lists of 2 and 4 registers.
The registers can be consecutive or strided. In the strided case,
2-register lists have a stride of 8, starting at register x0xxx.
4-register lists have a stride of 4, starting at register x00xx.
The instructions are predicated on a predicate-as-counter register in
the range pn8-pn15. Although we already had register fields with upper
bounds of 7 and 15, this is the first plain register operand to have a
nonzero lower bound. The patch uses the operand-specific data field
to record the minimum value, rather than having separate inserters
and extractors for each lower bound. This in turn required adding
an extra bit to the field.

SME2 defines new MOVA instructions for moving multiple registers
to and from ZA. As with SME, the instructions are also available
through MOV aliases.
One notable feature of these instructions (and many other SME2
instructions) is that some register lists must start at a multiple
of the list's size. The patch uses the general error "start register
out of range" when this constraint isn't met, rather than an error
specifically about multiples. This ensures that the error is
consistent between these simple consecutive lists and later
strided lists, for which the requirements aren't a simple multiple.

SME2 adds a new format for the existing SVE predicate registers:
predicates as counters rather than predicates as masks. In assembly
code, operands that interpret predicates as counters are written
pn<N> rather than p<N>.
This patch adds support for these registers and extends some
existing instructions to support them. Since the new forms
are just a programmer convenience, there's no need to make them
more restrictive than the earlier predicate-as-mask forms.

Some SME2 instructions operate on a range of consecutive ZA vectors.
This is indicated by syntax such as:
za[<Wv>, <imml>:<immh>]
Like with the earlier vgx2 and vgx4 support, we get better error
messages if the parser allows all ZA indices to have a range.
We can then reject invalid cases during constraint checking.

Many SME2 instructions operate on groups of 2 or 4 ZA vectors.
This is indicated by adding a "vgx2" or "vgx4" group size to the
ZA index. The group size is optional in assembly but preferred
for disassembly.
There is not a binary distinction between mnemonics that have
group sizes and mnemonics that don't, nor between mnemonics that
take vgx2 and mnemonics that take vgx4. We therefore get better
error messages if we allow any ZA index to have a group size
during parsing, and wait until constraint checking to reject
invalid sizes.
A quirk of the way errors are reported means that if an instruction
is wrong both in its qualifiers and its use of a group size, we'll
print suggested alternative instructions that also have an incorrect
group size. But that's a general property that also applies to
things like out-of-range immediates. It's also not obviously the
wrong thing to do. We need to be relatively confident that we're
looking at the right opcode before reporting detailed operand-specific
errors, so doing qualifier checking first seems resonable.

SME2 adds various new fields that are similar to
AARCH64_OPND_SME_ZA_array, but are distinguished by the size of
their offset fields. This patch adds _off4 to the name of the
field that we already have.

SME2 adds various new 3-bit immediate fields, so this patch adds
an lsb position suffix to the name of the field that we already have.

Until now, binutils has supported register ranges such
as { v0.4s - v3.4s } as an unofficial shorthand for
{ v0.4s, v1.4s, v2.4s, v3.4s }. The SME2 ISA embraces this form
and makes it the preferred disassembly. It also embraces wrapped
lists such as { z31.s - z2.s }, which is something that binutils
didn't previously allow.
The range form was already binutils's preferred disassembly for 3- and
4-register lists. This patch prefers it for 2-register lists too.
The patch also adds support for wrap-around.

SME2 has instructions that accept strided register lists,
such as { z0.s, z4.s, z8.s, z12.s }. The purpose of this
patch is to extend binutils to support such lists.
The parsing code already had (unused) support for strides of 2.
The idea here is instead to accept all strides during parsing
and reject invalid strides during constraint checking.
The SME2 instructions that accept strided operands also have
non-strided forms. The errors about invalid strides therefore
take a bitmask of acceptable strides, which allows multiple
possibilities to be summed up in a single message.
I've tried to update all code that handles register lists.

This patch just sorts the field enum alphanumerically, which makes

Some FLD_imm* suffixes used a counting scheme such as FLD_immN,
FLD_immN_2, FLD_immN_3, etc., while others used the lsb as the
suffix. The latter seems more mnemonic, and was a big help
in doing the SME2 work.
Similarly, the _10 suffix on FLD_SME_size_10 was nonobvious.
Presumably it indicated a 2-bit field, but it actually starts
in bit 22.

In GAS, the vector and predicate registers are identified by
REG_TYPE_VN, REG_TYPE_ZN and REG_TYPE_PN. This "N" is obviously
a placeholder for the register number. However, we don't use that
convention for integer and FP registers, and (more importantly)
SME2 adds "predicate-as-counter" registers that are denoted PN.
This patch therefore drops the "N" suffix from the existing
registers. The main hitch is that Z was also used for the
zero register in things like R_Z, but using ZR seems more
consistent with the SP-based names.

Quite a lot of SME2 instructions have an opcode bit that selects
between 32-bit and 64-bit forms of an instruction, with the 32-bit
forms being part of base SME2 and with the 64-bit forms being part
of an optional extension. It's nevertheless useful to have a single
opcode entry for both forms since (a) that matches the ISA definition
and (b) it tends to improve error reporting.
This patch therefore adds a libopcodes function called
aarch64_cpu_supports_inst_p that tests whether the target
supports a particular instruction. In future it will depend
on internal libopcodes routines.

This patch just moves some out-of-order-looking OP_SVE_* macros.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
This patch renames the OP_SME_* macros in aarch64-tbl.h so that
they follow the same scheme as the OP_SVE_* ones. It also uses
OP_SVE_ as the prefix, since there is no real distinction between
the SVE and SME uses of qualifiers: a macro defined for one can
be useful for the other too.

There are three main kinds of error reported during parsing,
in increasing order of priority:
- AARCH64_OPDE_RECOVERABLE (register seen instead of immediate)
- AARCH64_OPDE_SYNTAX_ERROR
- AARCH64_OPDE_FATAL_SYNTAX_ERROR
This priority makes sense when comparing errors reported against the
same operand. But if we get to operand 3 (say) and see a register
instead of an immediate, that's likely to be a better match than
something that fails with a syntax error at operand 1.
The idea of this patch is to prioritise parsing-related errors
based on operand index first, then by error code. Post-parsing
errors still win over parsing errors, and their relative priorities
don't change.

If an instruction has invalid qualifiers, GAS would report the
error against the final opcode entry that got to the qualifier-
checking stage. It seems better to report the error against
the opcode entry that had the closest match, just like we
pick the closest match within an opcode entry for the
"did you mean this?" message.
This patch adds the number of invalid operands as an
argument to AARCH64_OPDE_INVALID_VARIANT and then picks the
AARCH64_OPDE_INVALID_VARIANT with the lowest argument.

The error for invalid register lists had the form:
invalid number of registers in the list; N registers are expected at operand M -- `insn'
This seems a bit verbose. Also, the "bracketing" is really:
(invalid number of registers in the list; N registers are expected) at operand M
but the semicolon works against that.
This patch goes for slightly shorter messages, setting a template
that later patches can use for more complex cases.

AARCH64_OPDE_REG_LIST took a single operand that specified the
expected number of registers. However, there are quite a few
SME2 instructions that have both 2-register forms and (separate)
4-register forms. If the user tries to use a 3-register list,
it isn't obvious which opcode entry they meant. Saying that we
expect 2 registers and saying that we expect 4 registers would
both be wrong.
This patch therefore switches the operand to a bitfield. If a
AARCH64_OPDE_REG_LIST is reported against multiple opcode entries,
the patch ORs up the expected lengths.
This has no user-visible effect yet. A later patch adds more error
strings, alongside tests that use them.

SVE register lists were classified as SVE_REG, since there had been
no particular reason to separate them out. However, some SME2
instructions have tied register list operands, and so we need to
distinguish registers and register lists when checking whether two
operands match.
Also, the register list operands used a general error message,
even though we already have a dedicated error code for register
lists that are the wrong length.

This patch splits out the constraint checking for index operands,
so that it can be reused by new SME2 operands.

libopcodes currently reports out-of-range registers as a general
AARCH64_OPDE_OTHER_ERROR. However, this means that each register
range needs its own hard-coded string, which is a bit cumbersome
if the range is determined programmatically. This patch therefore
adds a dedicated error type for out-of-range errors.

SME2 has many instructions that take a list of SVE registers.
There are often multiple forms, with different forms taking
different numbers of registers.
This means that if, after a successful parse and qualifier match,
we find that the number of registers does not match the opcode entry,
the associated error should have a lower priority/severity than other
errors reported at the same stage. For example, if there are 2-register
and 4-register forms of an instruction, and if the assembly code uses
the 2-register form with an out-of-range value, the out-of-range value
error against the 2-register instruction should have a higher priority
than the "wrong number of registers" error against the 4-register
instruction.
This is tested by the main SME2 patches, but seemed worth splitting out.

There are many opcode table entries that share the same mnemonic.
Trying to parse an invalid assembly line will trigger an error for
each of these entries, but the specific error might vary from one
entry to another, depending on the exact nature of the problem.
GAS has quite an elaborate system for picking the most appropriate
error out of all the failed matches. And in many cases it works well.
However, one of the limitations is that the error is always reported
against a single opcode table entry. If that table entry isn't the
one that the user intended to use, then the error can end up being
overly specific.
This is particularly true if an instruction has a typoed register
name, or uses a type of register that is not accepted by any
opcode table entry. For example, one of the expected error
matches for an attempted SVE2 instruction is:
Error: operand 1 must be a SIMD scalar register -- `addp z32\.s,p0/m,z32\.s,z0\.s'
even though the hypothetical user was presumably attempting to use
the SVE form of ADDP rather than the Advanced SIMD one. There are
many other instances of this in the testsuite.
The problem becomes especially acute with SME2, since many SME2
instructions reuse existing mnemonics. This could lead to us
reporting an SME-related error against a non-SME instruction,
or a non-SME-related error against an SME instruction.
This patch tries to improve things by collecting together all
the register types that an opcode table entry expected for a
given operand. It also records what kind of register was
actually seen, if any. It then tries to summarise all this
in a more directed way, falling back to a generic error if
the combination defies a neat summary.
The patch includes tests for all new messages except REG_TYPE_ZA,
which only triggers with SME2.
To test this, I created an assembly file that contained the cross
product of all known mnemonics and one example from each register
class. I then looked for cases where the new routines fell back on the
generic errors ("expected a register" or "unexpected register type").
I locally added dummy messages for each one until there were no
more hits. The patch adds a specimen instruction to diagnostics.s
for each of these combinations. In each case, the combination didn't
seem like something that could be summarised in a natural way, so the
generic messages seemed better. There's always going to be an element
of personal taste around this kind of thing though.
Adding more register types made 1<<REG_TYPE_MAX exceed the range
of the type, but we don't actually need/want 1<<REG_TYPE_MAX.

After parsing a '{' and the first register, parse_typed_reg would
report errors in subsequent registers in the same way as for the
first register. It used set_default_error, which reports errors
of the form "operand N must be X".
The problem is that if there are multiple opcode entries for the
same mnemonic, there could be several matches that lead to a
default error. There's no guarantee that the default error for
the register list is the one that will be chosen.
To take an example from the testsuite:
ext z0.b,{z31.b,z32.b},#0
gave:
operand 2 must be an SVE vector register
with the error being reported against the single-vector version
of ext, even though the operand is clearly a list.
This patch uses set_fatal_syntax_error to bump the priority of the
error once we're sure that the operand is a list of the right type.

parse_typed_reg is used for parsing both bare registers and
registers that occur in lists. If it doesn't see a register,
or sees an unexpected kind of register, it queues a default
error to report the problem. These default errors have the form
"operand N must be an X", where X comes from the operand table.
If there are multiple opcode entries that report default errors,
GAS tries to pick the most appropriate one, using the opcode
table order as a tiebreaker. But this can lead to cases where
a syntax error in a register list is reported against an opcode
that doesn't accept register lists. For example, the unlikely
error:
ext z0.b,{,},#0
is reported as:
operand 2 must be an SVE vector register -- `ext z0.b,{,},#0'
even though operand 2 can be a register list.
If we've parsed the opening '{' of a register list, and then see
something that isn't remotely register-like, it seems better to
report that directly as a syntax error, rather than rely on the
default error. The operand won't be a valid list of anything,
so there's no need to pick a specific Y in "operand N must be
a list of Y".

Integer registers were parsed indirectly through
aarch64_reg_parse_32_64 (and thus aarch64_addr_reg_parse) rather
than directly through parse_reg. This was because we need the
qualifier associated with the register, and the logic to calculate
that was buried in aarch64_addr_reg_parse.
The code that parses FP registers had the same need, but it
open-coded the calculation of the qualifier.
This patch tries to handle both cases in the same way. It is
needed by a later patch that tries to improve the register-related
diagnostics.

parse_address_main currently uses get_reg_expected_msg to
report invalid base and offset registers, but the disadvantage
of doing that is that it isn't immediately clear which register
is wrong (the base or the offset).
A later patch moves away from using get_reg_expected_msg for failed
type checks, but doing that here didn't seem like the best approach.
The patch tries to use more tailored messages instead.
|

a ZA-style index is missing the immediate offset.

In SME, the vector select register had to be in the range
w12-w15, so it made sense to enforce that during parsing.
However, SME2 adds instructions for which the range is
w8-w11 instead.
This patch therefore moves the range check from the parsing
stage to the constraint-checking stage.
Also, the previous error used a capitalised range W12-W15,
whereas other register range errors used lowercase ranges
like p0-p7. A quick internal poll showed a preference for
the lowercase form, so the patch uses that.
The patch uses "selection register" rather than "vector
select register" so that the terminology extends more
naturally to PSEL.
|

Just a minor clean-up to factor out the index parsing, partly to

Now that parse_typed_reg checks the range of tile register numbers
and libopcodes checks the range of vector select offsets, there's
very little difference between the parsing of ZA tile indices,
ZA array indices, and PSEL indices. The main one is that ZA
array indices don't currently allow "za" to be qualified,
but we need to remove that restriction for SME2.
This patch therefore consolidates all three parsers into a single
routine, parameterised by the type of register that they expect.

This patch moves the range checks on ZA vector select offsets from
gas to libopcodes. Doing the checks there means that the error
messages contain the expected range. It also fits in better
with the error severity scheme, which becomes important later.
(This is because out-of-range indices are treated as more severe than
syntax errors, on the basis that parsing must have succeeded if we get
to the point of checking the completed opcode.)
The patch also adds a new check_za_access function for checking
ZA accesses. That's a bit over the top for one offset check, but the
function becomes more complex with later patches.
sme-9-illegal.s checked for an invalid .q suffix using:
psel p1, p15, p3.q[w15]
but this is doubly invalid because it misses the immediate part
of the index. The patch keeps that test but adds another with
a zero index, so that .q is the only thing wrong.
The aarch64-tbl.h change includes neatening up the backslash
positions.

ZA indices have more parts than most operands, so passing these
parts around individually is more awkward than for other operand
types. Things aren't too bad at the moment, but SME2 adds two
further pieces: an offset range and a vector group size.
This patch therefore replaces arguments for the individual pieces
with a single argument for the index as a whole.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
A later patch moves the range checking for ZA vector select
offsets from gas to libopcodes. That in turn requires the
immediate field to be big enough to support all parsed values.
This shouldn't be a particularly size-sensitive structure,
so there should be no memory problems with doing this.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
za_tile_vector is also used for indexing ZA as a whole, rather than
just for indexing tiles. The former is more common than the latter
in SME2, so this patch generalises the name to "indexed_za".
The patch also names the associated structure, so that later patches
can reuse it during parsing.

We already treat the ZA tiles ZA0-ZA15 as registers. This patch
does the same for ZA itself. parse_sme_zero_mask can then parse
ZA tiles and ZA in the same way, through parsed_type_reg.
One important effect of going through parsed_type_reg (in general)
is that it allows ZA to take qualifiers. This is necessary for many
SME2 instructions.
However, to support existing unqualified uses of ZA, parse_reg_with_qual
needs to treat the qualiier as optional. Hopefully the net effect is
to give better error messages, since now that SME2 makes "za.<T>"
valid in some contexts, it might be natural to use it (incorrectly)
in ZERO too.
While there, the patch also tweaks the error messages for invalid
ZA tiles, to try to make some cases more specific.
For now, parse_sme_za_array just uses parse_reg, rather than
parse_typed_reg/parse_reg_with_qual. A later patch consolidates
the parsing further.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Now that all parsing of ZA tile names goes through parse_typed_reg,
we can check there for out-of-range tile numbers. The other check
performed by parse_sme_zada_operand was to reject .q, but that can
now be done via F_STRICT instead. (.q tiles are valid in other
contexts, so they shouldn't be rejected in parse_typed_reg.)
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
This patch reuses the general parse_typed_reg for ZA tiles.
This involves adding a way of suppressing the usual treatment
of register indices, since ZA indices look very different from
Advanced SIMD and SVE vector indices.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

parse_typed_reg returned a register number and passed the
register type back using a pointer parameter. It seems simpler
to return the register entry instead, since that has both pieces
of information in one place.
The patch also replaces the boolean in_reg_list parameter with
a mask of flags. This hopefully makes calls easier to read
(more self-documenting than "true" or "false"), but more
importantly, it allows a later patch to add a second flag.

This patch just moves vectype_to_qualifier further up, so that
a later patch can call it at an earlier point in the file.

This patch adds a multi-register type that includes both REG_TYPE_ZATH
and REG_TYPE_ZATV. This slightly simplifies the existing code, but the
main purpose is to enable later patches.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
The ZA tile registers were called REG_TYPE_ZA, REG_TYPE_ZAH and
REG_TYPE_ZAV. However, a later patch wants to make plain "za"
a register type too, and REG_TYPE_ZA is the obvious name for that.
This patch therefore adds "T" (tile) to the existing names.
|

|

GAS's aarch64_instruction had its own cut-down error record,
but it's better for later patches if it reuses the binutils-wide
aarch64_operand_error instead. The main difference is that
aarch64_operand_error can store arguments to the error while
aarch64_instruction couldn't.

This patch makes all SME instructions use F_STRICT, so that qualifiers
have to be provided explicitly rather than being inferred from other
operands. The main change is to move the qualifier setting from the
operand-level decoders to the opcode level.
This is one step towards consolidating the ZA parsing code and
extending it to handle SME2.

GAS refuses to interpret register names like x0 as unadorned
immediates, due to the obvious potential for confusion with
register operands. (An explicit #x0 is OK.)
For compatibility reasons, we can't extend the set of registers
that GAS rejects for existing instructions. For example:
mov x0, z0
was valid code before SVE was added, so it needs to stay valid
code even when SVE is enabled. But we can make GAS reject newer
registers in newer instructions. The SVE instruction:
and z0.s, z0.s, z0.h
is therefore invalid, rather than z0.h being an immediate.
This patch extends the SVE behaviour to SVE2. The old call
to AARCH64_CPU_HAS_FEATURE was technically the wrong way around,
although it didn't matter in practice for base SVE instructions
since their avariants only set SVE.
