Add MXU decoding engine: add handlers for all instruction pools,
and main decode handler. The handlers, for now, for the purpose
of this patch, contain only sceleton in the form of a single
switch statement.

Amend MXU instruction opcodes. Pool04 is actually only instruction

Define a bit for MXU in insn_flags. This is the first non-MIPS

Backports commit ab99e0e44bc7b0e2e52d9083a673866b18470536 from qemu
The primary purpose of this change is to support programs compiled by
GCC for the R5900 target and thereby run R5900 Linux distributions, for
example Gentoo.
GCC in version 7.3, by itself, by inspection of the GCC source code
and inspection of the generated machine code, for the R5900 target,
only emits two instructions that are specific to the R5900: the three-
operand MULT and MULTU. GCC and libc also emit certain MIPS III
instructions that are not part of the R5900 ISA. They are normally
trapped and emulated by the Linux kernel, and therefore need to be
treated accordingly by QEMU.
A program compiled by GCC is taken to mean source code compiled by GCC
under the restrictions above. One can, with the apparent limitations,
with a bit of effort obtain a fully functioning operating system such
as R5900 Gentoo. Strictly speaking, programs need not be compiled by
GCC to make use of this change.
Instructions and other facilities of the R5900 not implemented by this
change are intended to signal provisional exceptions. One such example
is the FPU that is not compliant with IEEE 754-1985 in system mode. It
is therefore provisionally disabled. In user space the FPU is trapped
and emulated by IEEE 754-1985 compliant software in the kernel, and
this is handled accordingly by QEMU. Another example is the 93
multimedia instructions specific to the R5900 that generate provisional
reserved instruction exception signals.
One of the benefits of running a Linux distribution under QEMU is that
programs can be compiled with a native compiler, where the host and
target are the same, as opposed to a cross-compiler, where they are
not the same. This is especially important in cases where the target
hardware does not have the resources to run a native compiler.
Problems with cross-compilation are often related to host and target
differences in integer sizes, pointer sizes, endianness, machine code,
ABI, etc. Sometimes cross-compilation is not even supported by the
build script for a given package. One effective way to avoid those
problems is to replace the cross-compiler with a native compiler. This
change of compilation methods does not resolve the inherent problems
with cross-compilation.
The native compiler naturally replaces the cross-compiler, because one
typically uses one or the other, and preferably the native compiler
when the circumstances admit this. The native compiler is also a good
test case for the R5900 QEMU user mode. Additionally, Gentoo is well-
known for compiling and installing its packages from sources.
This change has been tested with Gentoo compiled for R5900, including
native compilation of several packages under QEMU.

The Linux kernel traps certain reserved instruction exceptions to
emulate the corresponding instructions. QEMU plays the role of the
kernel in user mode, so those traps are emulated by accepting the
instructions.
This change adds the function check_insn_opc_user_only to signal a
reserved instruction exception for flagged CPUs in QEMU system mode.
The MIPS III instructions DMULT[U], DDIV[U], LL[D] and SC[D] are not
implemented in R5900 hardware. They are trapped and emulated by the
Linux kernel and, accordingly, therefore QEMU user only instructions.

The R5900 is taken to be MIPS III with certain modifications. From
MIPS IV it implements the instructions MOVN, MOVZ and PREF.
Backports commit 5601e6217d90ed322b4b9a6d68e8db607db91842 from qemu
The three-operand MULT and MULTU are the only R5900-specific
instructions emitted by GCC 7.3. The R5900 also implements the three-
operand MADD and MADDU instructions, but they are omitted in QEMU for
now since they are absent in programs compiled by current GCC versions.
Likewise, the R5900-specific pipeline 1 instruction variants MULT1,
MULTU1, DIV1, DIVU1, MADD1, MADDU1, MFHI1, MFLO1, MTHI1 and MTLO1
are omitted here as well.
Backports commit 21e8e8b230af38b6bd8c953fa5f31e4a5a128e1c from qemu
The R5900 implements the 64-bit MIPS III instruction set except
DMULT, DMULTU, DDIV, DDIVU, LL, SC, LLD and SCD. The MIPS IV
instructions MOVN, MOVZ and PREF are implemented. It has the
R5900-specific three-operand instructions MADD, MADDU, MULT and
MULTU as well as pipeline 1 versions MULT1, MULTU1, DIV1, DIVU1,
MADD1, MADDU1, MFHI1, MFLO1, MTHI1 and MTLO1. A set of 93 128-bit
multimedia instructions specific to the R5900 is also implemented.
The Toshiba TX System RISC TX79 Core Architecture manual:
https://wiki.qemu.org/File:C790.pdf
describes the C790 processor that is a follow-up to the R5900. There
are a few notable differences in that the R5900 FPU
- is not IEEE 754-1985 compliant,
- does not implement double format, and
- its machine code is nonstandard.
Backports commit 6f692818a7b53630702d25a709cd61282fd139ad from qemu
Since QEMU does not implement ASIDs, changes to the ASID must flush the
tlb. However, if the ASID does not change there is no reason to flush.
In testing a boot of the Ubuntu installer to the first menu, this reduces
the number of flushes by 30%, or nearly 600k instances.
Backports commit 93f379b0c43617b1361f742f261479eaed4959cb from qemu
The EL3 version of this register does not include an ASID,
and so the tlb_flush performed by vmsa_ttbr_write is not needed.

For a sequence of loads or stores from a single register,

This can reduce the number of operations by a factor of 8.

Instead of shifts and masks, use direct loads and stores from the neon

Note that this includes a bugfix for handling of the insn
