Especially when dealing with out-of-line gvec helpers, it is often
helpful to specify some vector pointers as constant. E.g. when
we have two inputs and one output, marking the two inputs as consts
pointers helps to avoid bugs.
Const pointers can be specified via "cptr", however behave in TCG just
like ordinary pointers. We can specify helpers like:
DEF_HELPER_FLAGS_4(gvec_vbperm, TCG_CALL_NO_RWG, void, ptr, cptr, cptr, i32)
void HELPER(gvec_vbperm)(void *v1, const void *v2, const void *v3,
uint32_t desc)
And make sure that here, only v1 will be written (as long as const is
not casted away, of course).

Depending on the host abi, float16, aka uint16_t, values are
passed and returned either zero-extended in the host register
or with garbage at the top of the host register.
The tcg code generator has so far been assuming garbage, as that
matches the x86 abi, but this is incorrect for other host abis.
Further, target/arm has so far been assuming zero-extended results,
so that it may store the 16-bit value into a 32-bit slot with the
high 16-bits already clear.
Rectify both problems by mapping "f16" in the helper definition
to uint32_t instead of (a typedef for) uint16_t. This forces
the host compiler to assume garbage in the upper 16 bits on input
and to zero-extend the result on output.
Backports commit 6c2be133a7478e443c99757b833d0f265c48e0a6 from qemu
We already handle this in the backends, and the lifetime datum
for the TCGOp is already large enough.
Backports commit 1df3caa946e08b387511dfba3a37d78910e51796 from qemu
This allows us to explicitly pass float16 to helpers rather than
assuming uint32_t and dealing with the result. Of course they will be
passed in i32 sized registers by default.
Backports commit 35737497008aeabce5dc381a41d3827bec486192 from qemu
The GET and MAKE functions weren't really specific enough.
We now have a full complement of functions that convert exactly
between temporaries, arguments, tcgv pointers, and indices.
The target/sparc change is also a bug fix, which would have affected
a host that defines TCG_TARGET_HAS_extr[lh]_i64_i32, i.e. MIPS64.
Backports commit dc41aa7d34989b552efe712ffe184236216f960b from qemu
Transform TCGv_* to an "argument" or a temporary.
For now, an argument is simply the temporary index.
Backports commit ae8b75dc6ec808378487064922f25f1e7ea7a9be from qemu
Header guard symbols should match their file name to make guard
collisions less likely. Offenders found with
scripts/clean-header-guards.pl -vn.
Cleaned up with scripts/clean-header-guards.pl, followed by some
renaming of new guard symbols picked by the script to better ones.
