This series enhances tooling to support new operations:
- Support for MTE tag since Arm SPE v1.3;
- Support for Advanced SIMD extension and SVE operations;
- Support memcpy, memset and GCS operations;
- Support extended operations for atomic, Acquire/Release and
Exclusive instructions.
- Enhance the data source for associated info, like floating-point,
conditional, data processing, etc.
This series is divided into three parts:
Patches 01 ~ 06: Support raw dump for new operations;
Patches 07 ~ 18: Export the operation info into records, so that the
information can be later consumed by samples.
Patches 19 ~ 25: Set the operation info into sample's data source and
SIMD flag, and updated the document.
This patch series is tested on FVP. I verified Arm SPE trace data with
kselftest's MTE tag test and SVE test. For GCS test, I verified the SPE
decoding with I manually modifying perf binary file.
