Allow for optional operands with non-zero default values.
ISA 2.07 (ie, POWER8) added the rfebb instruction which takes one operand with the value of either a 0 or 1. It also defines an extended mnemonic with no operands (ie, "rfebb") that is supposed to be equivalent to "rfebb 1". I implemented rfebb's lone operand with PPC_OPERAND_OPTIONAL, but the problem is, optional operands that are ommitted always default to the value 0, which is wrong in this case. I have added support for allowing non-zero default values by adding an additional flag PPC_OPERAND_OPTIONAL_VALUE that specifies that the default operand value to be used is stored in the SHIFT field of the operand field immediately following this one. This fixes the rfebb issue. I also fixed the mftb and mfcr instructions so they use the same mechanism. This allows us to flag invalid uses of mfcr where we explicitly pass in a zero FXM value, like the use in a2.[sd]. include/opcode/ * ppc.h (PPC_OPERAND_OPTIONAL_VALUE): New. (ppc_optional_operand_value): New inline function. opcodes/ * ppc-dis.h (skip_optional_operands): Use ppc_optional_operand_value. * ppc-opc.c (FXM4): Add non-zero optional value. (TBR): Likewise. (SXL): Likewise. (insert_fxm): Handle new default operand value. (extract_fxm): Likewise. (insert_tbr): Likewise. (extract_tbr): Likewise. gas/ * config/tc-ppc.c (md_assemble): Use ppc_optional_operand_value. Allow for optional operands without insert functions. gas/testsuite/ * gas/ppc/power8.d: Fixup rfebb test results. * gas/ppc/a2.s: Fix invalid mfcr test. * gas/ppc/a2.d: Likewise.
