Tejas Belagod 52efda8266 AArch64: Fix Atomic LD64/ST64 classification.
Patch 1: Fix diagnostics for exclusive load/stores and reclassify
	 Armv8.7-A ST/LD64 Atomics.

Following upstream pointing out some inconsistencies in diagnostics,

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2021-February/115356.html

attached is a patch set that fixes the issues. I believe a combination
of two patches mainly contributed to these bugs:

https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2020-November/113961.html
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2018-June/103322.html

A summary of what this patch set fixes:

For instructions

	STXR w0,x2,[x0]
	STLXR w0,x2,[x0]

The warning we emit currently is misleading:

Warning: unpredictable: identical transfer and status registers --`stlxr w0,x2,[x0]'
Warning: unpredictable: identical transfer and status registers --`stxr w0,x2,[x0]'

it ought to be:

Warning: unpredictable: identical base and status registers --`stlxr w0,x2,[x0]'
Warning: unpredictable: identical base and status registers --`stxr w0,x2,[x0]'

For instructions:

	ldaxp x0,x0,[x0]
	ldxp x0,x0,[x0]

The warning we emit is incorrect

Warning: unpredictable: identical transfer and status registers --`ldaxp x0,x0,[x0]'
Warning: unpredictable: identical transfer and status registers --`ldxp x0,x0,[x0]'

it ought to be:

Warning: unpredictable load of register pair -- `ldaxp x0,x0,[x0]'
Warning: unpredictable load of register pair -- `ldxp x0,x0,[x0]'

For instructions

	stlxp   w0, x2, x2, [x0]
	stxp    w0, x2, x2, [x0]

We don't emit any warning when it ought to be:

Warning: unpredictable: identical base and status registers --`stlxp w0,x2,x2,[x0]'
Warning: unpredictable: identical base and status registers --`stxp w0,x2,x2,[x0]'

For instructions:

	st64bv  x0, x2, [x0]
	st64bv  x2, x0, [x0]

We incorrectly warn when its not necessary. This is because we classify them
incorrectly as ldstexcl when it should be lse_atomics in the opcode table.
The incorrect classification makes it pick up the warnings from warning on
exclusive load/stores.

Patch 2: Reclassify Armv8.7-A ST/LD64 Atomics.

This patch reclassifies ST64B{V,V0}, LD64B as lse_atomics rather than ldstexcl
according to their encoding class as specified in the architecture. This also
has the fortunate side-effect of spurious unpredictable warnings getting
eliminated.

For eg. For instruction:

	st64bv  x0, x2, [x0]

We incorrectly warn when its not necessary:

Warning: unpredictable: identical transfer and status registers --`st64bv x0,x2,[x0]'

This is because we classify them incorrectly as ldstexcl when it should be
lse_atomics in the opcode table. The incorrect classification makes it pick
up the warnings from warning on exclusive load/stores. This patch fixes it
by reclassifying it and no warnings are issued for this instruction.

		   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.
