x86/insn: Add AVX512-FP16 instructions to the x86 instruction decoder

The x86 instruction decoder is used for both kernel instructions and
user space instructions (e.g. uprobes, perf tools Intel PT), so it is
good to update it with new instructions.

Add AVX512-FP16 instructions to x86 instruction decoder.

Note the EVEX map field is extended by 1 bit, and most instructions are in
map 5 and map 6.

Reference:
Intel AVX512-FP16 Architecture Specification
June 2021
Revision 1.0
Document Number: 347407-001US

Example using perf tools' x86 instruction decoder test:

$ perf test -v "x86 instruction decoder" |& grep vfcmaddcph | head -2

x86/insn: Add an insn_decode() API

Users of the instruction decoder should use this to decode instruction
bytes. For that, have insn*() helpers return an int value to denote
success/failure. When there's an error fetching the next insn byte and
the insn falls short, return -ENODATA to denote that.

While at it, make insn_get_opcode() more stricter as to whether what has
seen so far is a valid insn and if not.

Copy linux/kconfig.h for the tools-version of the decoder so that it can
use IS_ENABLED().

Also, cast the INSN_MODE_KERN dummy define value to (enum insn_mode)
for tools use of the decoder because perf tool builds with -Werror and
errors out with -Werror=sign-compare otherwise.

x86/insn: Fix vector instruction decoding on big endian cross-compiles

Running instruction decoder posttest on an s390 host with an x86 target

This is because in a few places instruction field bytes are set directly
with further usage of "value". To address that introduce and use a
insn_set_byte() helper, which correctly updates "value" on big endian
systems.

x86: xen: insn: Decode Xen and KVM emulate-prefix signature

Decode Xen and KVM's emulate-prefix signature by x86 insn decoder.
It is called "prefix" but actually not x86 instruction prefix, so
this adds insn.emulate_prefix_size field instead of reusing
insn.prefixes.

If x86 decoder finds a special sequence of instructions of
XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX and 'ud2a; .ascii "kvm"', it just counts the
length, set insn.emulate_prefix_size and fold it with the next
instruction. In other words, the signature and the next instruction
is treated as a single instruction.

perf intel-pt: Use shared x86 insn decoder

Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.

Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version. Objtool has a
similar check.

Committer notes:

Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "<asm/foo.h>" with "foo.h".

This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.

Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.

For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

objtool: Move x86 insn decoder to a common location

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder. Two of them are in the tools subdir.

The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel. So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable. However, we don't need *two* of them.

Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.

x86: xen: insn: Decode Xen and KVM emulate-prefix signature

Decode Xen and KVM's emulate-prefix signature by x86 insn decoder.
It is called "prefix" but actually not x86 instruction prefix, so
this adds insn.emulate_prefix_size field instead of reusing
insn.prefixes.

If x86 decoder finds a special sequence of instructions of
XEN_EMULATE_PREFIX and 'ud2a; .ascii "kvm"', it just counts the
length, set insn.emulate_prefix_size and fold it with the next
instruction. In other words, the signature and the next instruction
is treated as a single instruction.

perf intel-pt: Use shared x86 insn decoder

Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.

Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version. Objtool has a
similar check.

Committer notes:

Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "<asm/foo.h>" with "foo.h".

This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.

Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.

For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

objtool: Move x86 insn decoder to a common location

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder. Two of them are in the tools subdir.

The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel. So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable. However, we don't need *two* of them.

Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.
