Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] RISC-V: Check shift amount against XLEN (disassembler)
Date: Mon, 23 May 2022 19:06:22 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1653300374.git.research_trasio@irq.a4lg.com> (raw)

** Note **
This patch is not compatible with my previous Zfinx fixes.  Actual PATCH
v1 is going to be submitted after this patchset is reviewed and Zfinx
fixes (relatively high priority) are applied.

Certain shift instructions have a constraint: shift amount must be less
than current XLEN.  This constraint is checked on assembler and
simulator, but not on disassembler.  It causes GDB to print wrong (and
invalid) instructions and can be a problem while ... for instance,
checking for invalid build configuration.

We have several methods to deal with it:

-   Add `xlen' argument to match_func to test XLEN
-   Split shift instructions to per-XLEN variants

Because shift instructions are so basic and XLEN-checking is so simple,
I chose the former.  The latter is used on my Zfinx fixes but this is
because register pair checking involves relatively complex per-operand
constraints.  Complex solution for simple problem can be a new problem.

But...

-   Is it okay to add an argument anyway?
-   Which is better extra argument?
    1.  unsigned xlen
    2.  const riscv_parse_subset_t * subset
        which contains ISA version, XLEN and extensions
        ... but a part of BFD, not opcodes.

I also (slightly) changed the assembler to suppress extra error message
just like I did on Zicbop instructions:
