    cmd/asm: refine Go assembly for ARM64 · 531e6c06
    Wei Xiao authored
    Some ARM64-specific instructions (such as SIMD instructions) are not supported.
    This patch adds support for the following:
    1. Extended register, e.g.:
         ADD	Rm.<ext>[<<amount], Rn, Rd
         <ext> can have the following values:
           UXTB, UXTH, UXTW, UXTX, SXTB, SXTH, SXTW and SXTX
    2. Arrangement for SIMD instructions, e.g.:
         VADDP	Vm.<T>, Vn.<T>, Vd.<T>
         <T> can have the following values:
           B8, B16, H4, H8, S2, S4 and D2
    3. Width specifier and element index for SIMD instructions, e.g.:
         VMOV	Vn.<T>[index], Rd // MOV(to general register)
         <T> can have the following values:
           S and D
    4. Register List, e.g.:
         VLD1	(Rn), [Vt1.<T>, Vt2.<T>, Vt3.<T>]
    5. Register offset variant, e.g.:
         VLD1.P	(Rn)(Rm), [Vt1.<T>, Vt2.<T>] // Rm is the post-index register
    6. Go assembly for ARM64 reference manual
         new added instructions are required to have according explanation items in
         the manual and items for existed instructions will be added incrementally
    
    For more information about the refinement background, please refer to the
    discussion (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-dev/rWgDxCrL4GU)
    
    This patch only adds syntax and doesn't break any assembly that already exists.
