Summary:
This patch generalizes the existing code to support CDE intrinsics
which will share some properties with existing MVE intrinsics
(some of the intrinsics will be polymorphic and accept/return values
of MVE vector types).
Specifically the patch:
* Adds new tablegen backends -gen-arm-cde-builtin-def,
-gen-arm-cde-builtin-codegen, -gen-arm-cde-builtin-sema,
-gen-arm-cde-builtin-aliases, -gen-arm-cde-builtin-header based on
existing MVE backends.
* Renames the '__clang_arm_mve_alias' attribute into
'__clang_arm_builtin_alias' (it will be used with CDE intrinsics as
well as MVE intrinsics)
* Implements semantic checks for the coprocessor argument of the CDE
intrinsics as well as the existing coprocessor intrinsics.
* Adds one CDE intrinsic __arm_cx1 to test the above changes

This allows you to declare a function with a name of your choice (say
`foo`), but have clang treat it as if it were a builtin function (say
`__builtin_foo`), by writing
static __inline__ __attribute__((__clang_arm_mve_alias(__builtin_foo)))
int foo(args);
I'm intending to use this for the ACLE intrinsics for MVE, which have
to be polymorphic on their argument types and also need to be
implemented by builtins. To avoid having to implement the polymorphism
with several layers of nested _Generic and make error reporting
hideous, I want to make all the user-facing intrinsics correspond
directly to clang builtins, so that after clang resolves
__attribute__((overloadable)) polymorphism it's already holding the
right BuiltinID for the intrinsic it selected.
However, this commit itself just introduces the new attribute, and
doesn't use it for anything.
To avoid unanticipated side effects if this attribute is used to make
aliases to other builtins, there's a restriction mechanism: only
(BuiltinID, alias) pairs that are approved by the function
ArmMveAliasValid() will be permitted. At present, that function
doesn't permit anything, because the Tablegen that will generate its
list of valid pairs isn't yet implemented. So the only test of this
facility is one that checks that an unapproved builtin _can't_ be
aliased.
