arm: Fix bugs with MVE vmov from two GPRs to vector lanes
The initial problem I wanted to fix here is that GAS was rejecting MVE instructions such as: vmov q3[2], q3[0], r2, r2 with: Error: General purpose registers may not be the same -- `vmov q3[2],q3[0],r2,r2' which is incorrect; such instructions are valid. Note that for moves in the other direction, e.g.: vmov r2, r2, q3[2], q3[0] GAS is correct in rejecting this as it does not make sense to move both lanes into the same register (the Arm ARM says this is CONSTRAINED UNPREDICTABLE). After fixing this issue, I added assembly/disassembly tests for these vmovs. This revealed several disassembly issues, including incorrectly marking the moves into vector lanes as UNPREDICTABLE, and disassembling many of the vmovs as vector loads. These are now fixed. gas/ChangeLog: * config/tc-arm.c (do_mve_mov): Only reject vmov if we're moving into the same GPR twice. * testsuite/gas/arm/mve-vmov-bad-2.l: Tweak error message. * testsuite/gas/arm/mve-vmov-3.d: New test. * testsuite/gas/arm/mve-vmov-3.s: New test. opcodes/ChangeLog: * arm-dis.c (mve_opcodes): Fix disassembly of MVE_VMOV2_GP_TO_VEC_LANE when idx == 1. (is_mve_encoding_conflict): MVE vector loads should not match when P = W = 0. (is_mve_unpredictable): It's not unpredictable to use the same source register twice (for MVE_VMOV2_GP_TO_VEC_LANE).
