Indu Bhagat 29085f7243 gas: aarch64: add experimental support for SCFI
For synthesizing CFI (SCFI) for hand-written asm, the SCFI machinery in
GAS works on the generic GAS insns (ginsns).  This patch adds support in
the aarch64 backend to create ginsns for a subset of the supported
machine instructions.  The subset includes the minimal necessary
instructions to ensure SCFI correctness:

- Any potential register saves and unsaves.  Hence, process instructions
  belonging to a variety of iclasses involving str, ldr, stp, ldp.
- Any change of flow instructions.  This includes all conditional and
  unconditional branches, call (bl, blr, etc.) and return.
- Most importantly, any instruction that could affect the two registers
  of interest: REG_SP, REG_FP.  This set includes all pre-indexed and
  post-indexed memory operations, with writeback, on the stack.  This
  set must also include other instructions (e.g., arithmetic insns)
  where the destination register is one of the afore-mentioned registers.

With respect to callee-saved registers in Aarch64, FP/Advanced SIMD
registers D8-D15 are included along with the relevant GPRs.  Calculating
offsets for loads and stores especially for Q registers needs special
attention here.

As an example,
   str q8, [sp, #16]
On big-endian:
   STR Qn stores as a 128-bit integer (MSB first), hence, should record
   D8 as being saved at sp+24 rather than sp+16.
On little-endian:
   should record D8 as being saved at sp+16

D8-D15 are the low 64 bits of Q8-Q15, and of Z8-Z15 if SVE is used;
hence, they remain "interesting" for SCFI purposes in such cases.  A CFI
save slot always represents the low 64 bits, regardless of whether a
save occurs on D, Q or Z registers.  Currently, the ginsn creation
machinery can handle D and Q registers on little-endian and big-endian.

Apart from creating ginsn, another key responsibility of the backend is
to make sure there are safeguards in place to detect and alert if an
instruction of interest may have been skipped.  This is done via
aarch64_ginsn_unhandled () (similar to the x86 backend).  This function
, hence, is also intended to alert when future ISA changes may otherwise
render SCFI results incorrect, because of missing ginsns for the newly
added machine instructions.

At this time, becuase of the complexities wrt endianness in handling Z
register usage, skip sve_misc opclass altogether for now.  The SCFI
machinery will error out (using the aarch64_ginsn_unhandled () code
path) though if Z register usage affects correctness.

The current SCFI machinery does not currently synthesize the
PAC-related, aarch64-specific CFI directives: .cfi_b_key_frame.  The
support for this is planned for near future.

SCFI is enabled for ELF targets only.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
