AArch64: Fix error checking for SIMD udot (by element)
Committed on behalf of Matthew Malcomson: The SIMD UDOT instruction assembly has an unusual operand that selects a single 32 bit element with the mnemonic 4B. This unusual mnemonic is handled by a special operand qualifier and associated qualifier data in `aarch64_opnd_qualifiers`. The current qualifier data describes 4 1-byte elements with the structure {1, 4, 0x0, "4b", OQK_OPD_VARIANT} This makes sense, as the instruction does work on 4 1-byte elements, however some logic in the `operand_general_constraint_met_p` makes assumptions about the range of index allowed when selecting a SIMD_ELEMENT depending on element size. That function reasons that e.g. in order to select a byte-sized element in a 16 byte V register an index must allow selection of one of the 16 elements and hence its range will be in [0,15]. This reasoning breaks with the above description of a 4 part selection of 1 byte elements and allows an index outside the valid [0,3] range, triggering an assert later on in the program in `aarch64_ins_reglane`. vshcmd: > echo 'udot v0.2s, v1.8b, v2.4b[4]' | ../src/binutils-build/gas/as-new -march=armv8.4-a as-new: ../../binutils-gdb/opcodes/aarch64-asm.c:134: aarch64_ins_reglane: Assertion `reglane_index < 4' failed. {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:1: Internal error (Aborted). Please report this bug. This patch changes the operand qualifier data so that it describes a single 32 bit element. {4, 1, 0x0, "4b", OQK_OPD_VARIANT} Hence the calculation in `operand_general_constraint_met_p` provides the correct answer and the usual error checking machinery is used. vshcmd: > echo 'udot v0.2s, v1.8b, v2.4b[4]' | ../src/binutils-build/gas/as-new -march=armv8.4-a {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:1: Error: register element index out of range 0 to 3 at operand 3 -- `udot v0.2s,v1.8b,v2.4b[4]'
