Peter Collingbourne 86f0d4c729 target/arm: Implement MTE3
MTE3 introduces an asymmetric tag checking mode, in which loads are
checked synchronously and stores are checked asynchronously. Add
support for it.

A-profile CPU architecture support
==================================
QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for the Armv5, Armv6, Armv7 and
Armv8 versions of the A-profile architecture. It also has support for
the following architecture extensions:
- FEAT_AA32BF16 (AArch32 BFloat16 instructions)
- FEAT_AA32HPD (AArch32 hierarchical permission disables)
- FEAT_AA32I8MM (AArch32 Int8 matrix multiplication instructions)

- FEAT_TTCNP (Translation table Common not private translations)
- FEAT_TTST (Small translation tables)
- FEAT_UAO (Unprivileged Access Override control)
- FEAT_VHE (Virtualization Host Extensions)
- FEAT_VMID16 (16-bit VMID)
- FEAT_XNX (Translation table stage 2 Unprivileged Execute-never)
- SVE (The Scalable Vector Extension)
- SVE2 (The Scalable Vector Extension v2)
For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
to the `Armv8-A Arm Architecture Reference Manual
<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest>`_.
When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features.
R-profile CPU architecture support
==================================
QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited.
We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs.
M-profile CPU architecture support
==================================
QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and
Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture. It also has support
for the following architecture extensions:
- FP (Floating-point Extension)
- FPCXT (FPCXT access instructions)
- HP (Half-precision floating-point instructions)
- LOB (Low Overhead loops and Branch future)
- M (Main Extension)
- MPU (Memory Protection Unit Extension)
- PXN (Privileged Execute Never)
- RAS (Reliability, Serviceability and Availability): "minimum RAS Extension" only
- S (Security Extension)
- ST (System Timer Extension)
For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
to the `Armv8-M Arm Architecture Reference Manual
<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0553/latest>`_.
When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for
M-profile.
