Software can tell if it is in streaming SVE mode by checking
the Streaming Vector Control Register (SVCR).
"E3.1.9 SVCR, Streaming Vector Control Register" in
"Arm® Architecture Reference Manual Supplement, The Scalable Matrix
Extension (SME), for Armv9-A"
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0616/latest/
This is especially useful for debug because the names of the
SVE registers are the same betweeen non-streaming and streaming mode.
The Linux Kernel chose to not put this register behind ptrace,
and it can be read from EL0. However, this would mean running code
in process to read it. That can be done but we already know all
the information just from ptrace.
So this is a pseudo register that matches the architectural
content. The name is just "svcr", which aligns with GDB's proposed naming,
and it's added to the existing SME register set.
The SVCR register contains two bits:
0 : Whether streaming SVE mode is enabled (SM)
1 : Whether the array storage is enabled (ZA)
Array storage can be active when streaming mode is not, so this register
can have any permutation of those bits.
This register is currently read only. We can emulate the result of
writing to it, using ptrace. However at this point the utility of that
is not obvious.
Existing tests have been updated to check for appropriate SVCR values
at various points.
Given that this register is a read only pseudo, there is no need
to save and restore it around expressions.

This adds a register "svg" which mirrors SVE's "vg" register.
This reports the streaming vector length at all times, read
from the ZA ptrace header.
This register is needed first to implement ZA resizing as
the streaming vector length changes. Like vg, svg will be
expedited to the client so it can reconfigure its register
definitions.
The other use is for users to be able to know the streaming
vector length without resorting to counting the (many, many)
bytes in ZA, or temporarily entering streaming mode (which
would be destructive).
Some refactoring has been done so we don't have to recalculate the
register offsets twice.
Testing for this will come in a later patch.

Note: This requires later commits for ZA to function properly,
it is split for ease of review. Testing is also in a later patch.
The "Matrix" part of the Scalable Matrix Extension is a new register
"ZA". You can think of this as a square matrix made up of scalable rows,
where each row is one scalable vector long. However it is not made
of the existing scalable vector registers, it is its own register.
Meaning that the size of ZA is the vector length in bytes * the vector
length in bytes.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0616/latest/
It uses the streaming vector length, even when streaming mode itself
is not active. For this reason, it's register data header always
includes the streaming vector length.
Due to it's size I've changed kMaxRegisterByteSize to the maximum
possible ZA size and kTypicalRegisterByteSize will be the maximum
possible scalable vector size. Therefore ZA transactions will cause heap
allocations, and non ZA registers will perform exactly as before.
ZA can be enabled and disabled independently of streaming mode. The way
this works in ptrace is different to SVE versus streaming SVE. Writing
NT_ARM_ZA without register data disables ZA, writing NT_ARM_ZA with
register data enables ZA (LLDB will only support the latter, and only
because it's convenient for us to do so).
https://kernel.org/doc/html/v6.2/arm64/sme.html
LLDB does not handle registers that can appear and dissappear at
runtime. Rather than add complexity to implement that, LLDB will
show a block of 0s when ZA is disabled.
The alternative is not only updating the vector lengths every stop,
but every register definition. It's possible but I'm not sure it's worth
pursuing.
Users should refer to the SVCR register (added in later patches)
for the final word on whether ZA is active or not.
Writing to "VG" during streaming mode will change the size of the
streaming sve registers and ZA. LLDB will not attempt to preserve
register values in this case, we'll just read back the undefined
content the kernel shows. This is in line with, as stated, the
kernel ABIs and the prospective software ABIs look like.
ZA is defined as a vector of size SVL*SVL, so the display in lldb
is very basic. A giant block of values. This is no worse than SVE,
just larger. There is scope to improve this but that can wait
until we see some use cases.

While working in support for SME's ZA register, I found a circumstance
where restoring ZA after SVE, when the current SVE mode is non-streaming,
will kick the process back into FPSIMD mode. Meaning the SVE values that
you just wrote are now cut off at 128 bit.
The fix for that is to write ZA then SVE. Problem with that
is, the current ReadAll/WriteAll makes a lot of assumptions about the
saved data length.
This patch changes the format so there is a "type" written before
each data block. This tells WriteAllRegisterValues what it's looking at
without brittle checks on length, or assumptions about ordering.
If we want to change the order of restoration, all we now have to
do is change the order of saving.
This exposes a bug where the TLS registers are not restored.
This will be fixed by https://reviews.llvm.org/D156512 in some form,
depending on what lands first.
Existing SVE tests certainly check restoration and when I got this
wrong, many, many tests failed. So I think we have enough coverage
already, and more will be coming with future ZA changes.

The Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) adds a new Scalable Vector mode
called "streaming SVE mode".
In this mode a lot of things change, but my understanding overall
is that this mode assumes you are not going to move data out of
the vector unit very often or read flags.
Based on "E1.3" of "Arm® Architecture Reference Manual Supplement,
The Scalable Matrix Extension (SME), for Armv9-A".
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0616/latest/
The important details for debug are that this adds another set
of SVE registers. This set is only active when we are in streaming
mode and is read from a new ptrace regset NT_ARM_SSVE.
We are able to read the header of either mode at all times but
only one will be active and contain register data.
For this reason, I have reused the existing SVE state. Streaming
mode is just another mode value attached to that state.
The streaming mode registers do not have different names in the
architecture, so I do not plan to allow users to read or write the
inactive mode's registers. "z0" will always mean "z0" of the active
mode.
Ptrace does allow reading inactive modes, but the data is of little
use. Writing to inactive modes will switch to that mode which would
not be what a debugger user would expect. So lldb will do neither.
Existing SVE tests have been updated to check streaming mode and
mode switches. However, we are limited in what we can check given
that state for the other mode is invalidated on mode switch.
The only way to know what mode you are in for testing purposes would
be to execute a streaming only, or non-streaming only instruction in
the opposite mode. However, the CPU feature smefa64 actually allows
all non-streaming mode instructions in streaming mode.
This is enabled by default in QEMU emulation and rather than mess
about trying to disable it I'm just going to use the pseduo streaming
control register added in a later patch to make these tests more
robust.
A new test has been added to check SIMD read/write from all the modes
as there is a subtlety there that needs noting, though lldb
doesn't have to make extra effort to do so.
If you are in streaming mode and write to v0, when you later exit
streaming mode that value may not be in the non-streaming state.
This can depend on how the core works but is a valid behaviour.
For example, say I am stopped here:
mov x0, v0.d[0]
And I want to update v0 in lldb. "register write v0 ..." should update
the v0 that this instruction is about to see. Not the potential other
copy of v0 in the non-streaming state (which is what I attempted in
earlier versions of this patch).
Not to mention, switching out of streaming mode here would be unexpected
and difficult to signal to the user.

This adds memory tag reading using the new "qMemTags"
packet and ptrace on AArch64 Linux.
This new packet is following the one used by GDB.
(https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb/General-Query-Packets.html)
On AArch64 Linux we use ptrace's PEEKMTETAGS to read
tags and we assume that lldb has already checked that the
memory region actually has tagging enabled.
We do not assume that lldb has expanded the requested range
to granules and expand it again to be sure.
(although lldb will be sending aligned ranges because it happens
to need them client side anyway)
Also we don't assume untagged addresses. So for AArch64 we'll
remove the top byte before using them. (the top byte includes
MTE and other non address data)
To do the ptrace read NativeProcessLinux will ask the native
register context for a memory tag manager based on the
type in the packet. This also gives you the ptrace numbers you need.
(it's called a register context but it also has non register data,
so it saves adding another per platform sub class)
The only supported platform for this is AArch64 Linux and the only
supported tag type is MTE allocation tags. Anything else will
error.
Ptrace can return a partial result but for lldb-server we will
be treating that as an error. To succeed we need to get all the tags
we expect.
(Note that the protocol leaves room for logical tags to be
read via qMemTags but this is not going to be implemented for lldb
at this time.)
