Commit Message

Richard Henderson Feb. 17, 2018, 6:07 p.m. UTC
To be used to decode ARM SVE, but could be used for any fixed-width ISA.

Signed-off-by: Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>


---

Changes since v3:
  * Add copyright notices.
  * Do not mark decoder static if --decode is used.
    Use this option to imply the decoder is the main entry point
    for a separate translator object file.
  * Rename *.def to *.decode.

Changes since v2:
  * Fix tests/decode/err_init3.def.
  * Mark main decoder static by default.
  * Properly diagnose unspecified bits.
  * Remove output file on error.

Changes since v1:
  * Pass pycodestyle-{2,3}.
  * Support 16-bit and 32-bit insns (I have a def file for thumb1).
  * Testsuite (only negative tests so far).
  * Called translate functions default to static.
  * Notice duplicate assignments and missing assignments to fields.
  * Use '-' to indicate a non-decoded bit, as opposed to '.' which
    must be filled in elsewhere by a format or a field.

+
+#
+# Generate a decoding tree from a specification file.
+#
+# The tree is built from instruction "patterns".  A pattern may represent
+# a single architectural instruction or a group of same, depending on what
+# is convenient for further processing.
+#
+# Each pattern has "fixedbits" & "fixedmask", the combination of which
+# describes the condition under which the pattern is matched:
+#
+#   (insn & fixedmask) == fixedbits
+#
+# Each pattern may have "fields", which are extracted from the insn and
+# passed along to the translator.  Examples of such are registers,
+# immediates, and sub-opcodes.
+#
+# In support of patterns, one may declare fields, argument sets, and
+# formats, each of which may be re-used to simplify further definitions.
+#
+# *** Field syntax:
+#
+# field_def     := '%' identifier ( unnamed_field )+ ( !function=identifier )?
+# unnamed_field := number ':' ( 's' ) number
+#
+# For unnamed_field, the first number is the least-significant bit position of
+# the field and the second number is the length of the field.  If the 's' is
+# present, the field is considered signed.  If multiple unnamed_fields are
+# present, they are concatenated.  In this way one can define disjoint fields.
+#
+# If !function is specified, the concatenated result is passed through the
+# named function, taking and returning an integral value.
+#
+# FIXME: the fields of the structure into which this result will be stored
+# is restricted to "int".  Which means that we cannot expand 64-bit items.
+#
+# Field examples:
+#
+#   %disp   0:s16          -- sextract(i, 0, 16)
+#   %imm9   16:6 10:3      -- extract(i, 16, 6) << 3 | extract(i, 10, 3)
+#   %disp12 0:s1 1:1 2:10  -- sextract(i, 0, 1) << 11
+#                             | extract(i, 1, 1) << 10
+#                             | extract(i, 2, 10)
+#   %shimm8 5:s8 13:1 !function=expand_shimm8
+#                          -- expand_shimm8(sextract(i, 5, 8) << 1
+#                                           | extract(i, 13, 1))
+#
+# *** Argument set syntax:
+#
+# args_def    := '&' identifier ( args_elt )+
+# args_elt    := identifier
+#
+# Each args_elt defines an argument within the argument set.
+# Each argument set will be rendered as a C structure "arg_$name"
+# with each of the fields being one of the member arguments.
+#
+# Argument set examples:
+#
+#   &reg3       ra rb rc
+#   &loadstore  reg base offset
+#
+# *** Format syntax:
+#
+# fmt_def      := '@' identifier ( fmt_elt )+
+# fmt_elt      := fixedbit_elt | field_elt | field_ref | args_ref
+# fixedbit_elt := [01.-]+
+# field_elt    := identifier ':' 's'? number
+# field_ref    := '%' identifier | identifier '=' '%' identifier
+# args_ref     := '&' identifier
+#
+# Defining a format is a handy way to avoid replicating groups of fields
+# across many instruction patterns.
+#
+# A fixedbit_elt describes a contiguous sequence of bits that must
+# be 1, 0, [.-] for don't care.  The difference between '.' and '-'
+# is that '.' means that the bit will be covered with a field or a
+# final [01] from the pattern, and '-' means that the bit is really
+# ignored by the cpu and will not be specified.
+#
+# A field_elt describes a simple field only given a width; the position of
+# the field is implied by its position with respect to other fixedbit_elt
+# and field_elt.
+#
+# If any fixedbit_elt or field_elt appear then all bits must be defined.
+# Padding with a fixedbit_elt of all '.' is an easy way to accomplish that.
+#
+# A field_ref incorporates a field by reference.  This is the only way to
+# add a complex field to a format.  A field may be renamed in the process
+# via assignment to another identifier.  This is intended to allow the
+# same argument set be used with disjoint named fields.
+#
+# A single args_ref may specify an argument set to use for the format.
+# The set of fields in the format must be a subset of the arguments in
+# the argument set.  If an argument set is not specified, one will be
+# inferred from the set of fields.
+#
+# It is recommended, but not required, that all field_ref and args_ref
+# appear at the end of the line, not interleaving with fixedbit_elf or
+# field_elt.
+#
+# Format examples:
+#
+#   @opr    ...... ra:5 rb:5 ... 0 ....... rc:5
+#   @opi    ...... ra:5 lit:8    1 ....... rc:5
+#
+# *** Pattern syntax:
+#
+# pat_def      := identifier ( pat_elt )+
+# pat_elt      := fixedbit_elt | field_elt | field_ref
+#               | args_ref | fmt_ref | const_elt
+# fmt_ref      := '@' identifier
+# const_elt    := identifier '=' number
+#
+# The fixedbit_elt and field_elt specifiers are unchanged from formats.
+# A pattern that does not specify a named format will have one inferred
+# from a referenced argument set (if present) and the set of fields.
+#
+# A const_elt allows a argument to be set to a constant value.  This may
+# come in handy when fields overlap between patterns and one has to
+# include the values in the fixedbit_elt instead.
+#
+# The decoder will call a translator function for each pattern matched.
+#
+# Pattern examples:
+#
+#   addl_r   010000 ..... ..... .... 0000000 ..... @opr
+#   addl_i   010000 ..... ..... .... 0000000 ..... @opi
+#
+# which will, in part, invoke
+#
+#   trans_addl_r(ctx, &arg_opr, insn)
+# and
+#   trans_addl_i(ctx, &arg_opi, insn)
