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:

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.
opcodes/ChangeLog:
2021-04-09 Tejas Belagod <tejas.belagod@arm.com>
* aarch64-tbl.h (struct aarch64_opcode aarch64_opcode_table): Reclassify
LD64/ST64 instructions to lse_atomic instead of ldstexcl.
