ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

The latest MTE specification adds register Xt to the STG instruction family:

STG [Xn, #offset] -> STG Xt, [Xn, #offset]

The tag written to memory is taken from Xt rather than Xn.

The LDG instruction also was changed to read return address from Xt:

LDG Xt, [Xn, #offset].

This patch includes those changes and tests.

LGTM but add the specification link in the commit msg (https://developer.arm.com/docs/ddi0596/c) and reference LDG/STG in the title.

"Update v8.5a MTE LDG and STG instructions." would be fine.
