Hello,
This patchset contains various tidying of RISC-V opcodes (this is the
first batch).
The background of this patchset is partially semi-automated comparison
with riscv-opc.h in GNU Binutils and encoding.h generated by
riscv-opcodes (https://github.com/riscv/riscv-opcodes).
Tracker on GitHub:
<https://github.com/a4lg/binutils-gdb/wiki/riscv_opcode_tidying_1>
[Overview of this Patchset]
1. Instruction Name Maintainance
a. Remove unused instructions [PATCH 1]
b. Use ecall/ebreak instead of scall/sbreak
(remove scall/sbreak-related macros) [PATCH 2]
c. Use fmv.w.x/fmv.x.w instead of fmv.s.x/fmv.x.s [PATCH 3]
d. Make alias instruction real aliases [PATCH 5]
2. Prefer using defined mask and match values
(applies to c.nop and fence.i) [PATCH 4]
Note that this patchset doesn't:
- Remove existing instructions
(just removes unused mask and match macros behind the instruction)
- Change macro values (just names and formatting)
- Replace riscv-opc.h with riscv-opcodes generated one.
If you use riscv-opcodes for new instructions (copy portions of
encoding.h to riscv-opc.h), porting new instruction will be easy and the
result will be more consistent. I tried this approach on upcoming
Zihintntl patchset and it worked pretty well.
This patchset is only about refactoring and maintainance.
Nothing functional.
Thanks,
Tsukasa
