riscv: RV32E Zcmp accepts high-sreg cm.mvsa01 / cm.mva01s encodings
## Host environment
- Operating system:
Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
- OS/kernel version:
6.18.33.2-microsoft-standard-WSL2
- Architecture:
x86_64
- QEMU flavor:
qemu-riscv32 linux-user
- QEMU version:
qemu-riscv32 version 11.0.91
- QEMU command line:
`./qemu-riscv32 -cpu rv32e,h=false,zcd=false,zca=true,zcmp=true,zicsr=true ./rv32e_target_cm_mvsa01_s2_s3.elf`
## Emulated/Virtualized environment
- Operating system:
static RV32 test ELFs executed through Linux user mode
- Architecture:
riscv32
- CPU configurations:
- `rv32e,h=false,zcd=false,zca=true,zcmp=true,zicsr=true`
- `rv32i,h=false,zcd=false,zca=true,zcmp=true,zicsr=true`
## Description of problem
On RV32E, the saved-register subset is smaller than on RV32I. The attached
witnesses stay on that exact boundary: one legal RV32E control uses the low
saved-register subset, two target cases use the high-sreg forms on RV32E, and
the same raw words are also provided as legal RV32I controls.
Current `qemu-riscv32` retires all five cases. Because the same raw words are
legal on RV32I but also accepted on RV32E, this points to a missing RV32E
high-sreg legality check in `cm.mvsa01/cm.mva01s`, not to a general decode
failure.
Observed:
| case | raw word | observed |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `rv32e_control_cm_mvsa01_s0_s1.elf` | `0xac26` | `exit=42` |
| `rv32e_target_cm_mvsa01_s2_s3.elf` | `0xad2e` | `exit=42` |
| `rv32e_target_cm_mva01s_s2_s3.elf` | `0xad6e` | `exit=42` |
| `rv32i_control_cm_mvsa01_s2_s3.elf` | `0xad2e` | `exit=42` |
| `rv32i_control_cm_mva01s_s2_s3.elf` | `0xad6e` | `exit=42` |
Expected:
- the RV32E `s0/s1` control should retire
- the RV32E `s2/s3` forms should be rejected
- the RV32I controls should keep retiring
## Steps to reproduce
1. Save the five attached source files.
2. Build the RV32E witnesses with:
`riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc -nostdlib -static -march=rv32e_zca -mabi=ilp32e -Wl,-e,_start -o <name>.elf <name>.S`
3. Build the RV32I controls with:
`riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc -nostdlib -static -march=rv32i_zca -mabi=ilp32 -Wl,-e,_start -o <name>.elf <name>.S`
4. Run the RV32E witnesses with:
`./qemu-riscv32 -cpu rv32e,h=false,zcd=false,zca=true,zcmp=true,zicsr=true ./<name>.elf`
5. Run the RV32I controls with:
`./qemu-riscv32 -cpu rv32i,h=false,zcd=false,zca=true,zcmp=true,zicsr=true ./<name>.elf`
6. Observe that all five witnesses retire with `exit=42`.
## Additional information
- Reproduced on current upstream build:
(`qemu-riscv32 version 11.0.91`)
- The same raw words are legal controls on `RV32I + Zcmp`, but they are also
accepted on `RV32E + Zcmp`.
- Relevant current source locations:
- `target/riscv/tcg/insn_trans/trans_rvzce.c.inc:272-282`
- `target/riscv/tcg/insn_trans/trans_rvzce.c.inc:285-296`
- `target/riscv/translate.c:836-839`
- `target/riscv/tcg/insn_trans/trans_rvzce.c.inc:116-165`
- `trans_cm_mva01s()` and `trans_cm_mvsa01()` accept these forms, while nearby
`cm.push/cm.pop/...` paths already carry an explicit RV32E legality guard.
- Relevant ISA boundary:
these RV32E selector combinations are outside the legal saved-register subset.
