Performance improvement
Add pkt and insn to DisasContext
Many functions need information from all 3 structures, so merge
them together.
2)
Bug fix
Fix predicated assignment to .tmp and .cur
3)
Performance improvement
Add overrides for S2_asr_r_r_sat/S2_asl_r_r_sat
These functions will not be handled by idef-parser
4-11)
The final 8 patches improve change-of-flow handling.
Currently, we set the PC to a new address before exiting a TB. The
ultimate goal is to use direct block chaining. However, several steps
are needed along the way.
4)
When a packet has more than one change-of-flow (COF) instruction, only
the first one taken is considered. The runtime bookkeeping is only
needed when there is more than one COF instruction in a packet.
5, 6)
Remove PC and next_PC from the runtime state and always use a
translation-time constant. Note that next_PC is used by call instructions
to set LR and by conditional COF instructions to set the fall-through
address.
7, 8, 9)
Add helper overrides for COF instructions. In particular, we must
distinguish those that use a PC-relative address for the destination.
These are candidates for direct block chaining later.
10)
Use direct block chaining for packets that have a single PC-relative
COF instruction. Instead of generating the code while processing the
instruction, we record the effect in DisasContext and generate the code
during gen_end_tb.
11)
Use direct block chaining for tight loops. We look for TBs that end
with an endloop0 that will branch back to the TB start address.
12-21)
Instruction definition parser (idef-parser) from rev.ng
Parses the instruction semantics and generates TCG
