arch-arm: implement VMINNM and VMAXNM scalar version

ARMv8.2 16-bit versions have not yet been implemented, but a placeholders
were created for them.

Refactor the nearby decoding tree to closely match the ARM spec A32 decode
table.

That piece of the tree can also be called from thumb which decodes it in
the same way, although the thumb decode table has a different terminology

The old code didn't match neither A32 or T32 terminologies, so it is
better to at least match one of them to help verify correctness.

arch-arm: implement VMINNM and VMAXNM SIMD version

This instruction is backported from aarch64.

In order to use the existing fplibMinNum backend, we first move
VMIN and VPMIN to use fplib. Adding VMINNM is then trivial.

arm: Stop using the FloatReg and FloatRegBits types.

This will let us make those types 64 bits to be in line with the other
architectures.

arch-arm: Fix some poorly done type max and min in NEON

The ISA code for ARM calculates min and max elements for types using
bit manipulation. That triggers some warnings, treated as errors, as
the compiler can tell that there is an overflow and the sign
flips. Fixed using standard lib definitions instead.

misc: Fix issues flagged by gcc 6

A few warnings (and thus errors) pop up after being added to -Wall:

1. -Wmisleading-indentation

In the auto-generated code there were instances of if/else blocks that
were not indented to gcc's liking. This is addressed by adding braces.

2. -Wshift-negative-value

gcc is clever enougn to consider ~0 a negative constant, and
rightfully complains. This is addressed by using mask() which
explicitly casts to unsigned before shifting.

That is all. Porting done.

arch: Use shared_ptr for all Faults

This patch takes quite a large step in transitioning from the ad-hoc
RefCountingPtr to the c++11 shared_ptr by adopting its use for all
Faults. There are no changes in behaviour, and the code modifications
are mostly just replacing "new" with "make_shared".

arm: Add support for ARMv8 (AArch64 & AArch32)

Note: AArch64 and AArch32 interworking is not supported. If you use an AArch64
kernel you are restricted to AArch64 user-mode binaries. This will be addressed
in a later patch.

Note: Virtualization is only supported in AArch32 mode. This will also be fixed
in a later patch.

scons: Fix warnings issued by clang 3.2svn (XCode 4.6)

This patch fixes the warnings that clang3.2svn emit due to the "-Wall"
flag. There is one case of an uninitialised value in the ARM neon ISA
description, and then a whole range of unused private fields that are
pruned.


# 9517:5ffb5e5c93b4 15-Feb-2013 Ali Saidi <Ali.Saidi@ARM.com>

arm: fix some fp comparisons that worked by accident.

The explict tests in the follwing fp comparison operations were
incorrect as they checked for only signaling NaNs and not quite-NaNs
as well. When compiled with gcc, the comparison generates a fp exception
that causes the FE_INVALID flag to be set and we check for it, so even
though the check was incorrect, the correct exception was set. With clang
this behavior seems to not occur. The checks are updated to test for nans and
the behavior is now correct with both clang and gcc.

# 8588:ef28ed90449d 27-Sep-2011 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ISA parser: Use '_' instead of '.' to delimit type modifiers on operands.

By using an underscore, the "." is still available and can unambiguously be
used to refer to members of a structure if an operand is a structure, class,
etc. This change mostly just replaces the appropriate "."s with "_"s, but
there were also a few places where the ISA descriptions where handling the
extensions themselves and had their own regular expressions to update. The
regular expressions in the isa parser were updated as well. It also now
looks for one of the defined type extensions specifically after connecting "_"
where before it would look for any sequence of characters after a "."
following an operand name and try to use it as the extension. This helps to
disambiguate cases where a "_" may legitimately be part of an operand name but
not separate the name from the type suffix.

Because leaving the "_" and suffix on the variable name still leaves a valid
C++ identifier and all extensions need to be consistent in a given context, I
considered leaving them on as a breadcrumb that would show what the intended
type was for that operand. Unfortunately the operands can be referred to in
code templates, the Mem operand in particular, and since the exact type of Mem
can be different for different uses of the same template, that broke things.


# 8206:c3090dc00ddf 04-Apr-2011 William Wang <William.Wang@arm.com>

ARM: Cleanup and small fixes to some NEON ops to match the spec.

Only certain bits of the cpacr can be written, some must be equal.
Mult instructions that write the same register should do something sane


# 7853:69aae4379062 18-Jan-2011 Matt Horsnell <Matt.Horsnell@ARM.com>

ARM: The ARM decoder should not panic when decoding undefined holes is arch.

This can abort simulations when the fetch unit runs ahead and speculatively
decodes instructions that are off the execution path.


# 7783:9b880b40ac10 07-Dec-2010 Giacomo Gabrielli <Giacomo.Gabrielli@arm.com>

O3: Make all instructions that write a misc. register not perform the write until commit.

ARM instructions updating cumulative flags (ARM FP exceptions and saturation
flags) are not serialized.

Added aliases for ARM FP exceptions and saturation flags in FPSCR. Removed
write accesses to the FP condition codes for most ARM VFP instructions: only
VCMP and VCMPE instructions update the FP condition codes. Removed a potential
cause of seg. faults in the O3 model for NEON memory macro-ops (ARM).
