From: Frank Chang <frank.chang@sifive.com>

Unlike other vector instructions, load/store vector instructions return
the maximum vector size calculated with EMUL.
For other vector instructions, return VLMAX as the maximum vector size.

As I said before, the is_ldst instructions should put the EEW and EMUL values
into the SEW and LMUL desc fields, so that this does not need to be
special-cased at all.

This is overly complicated.

(1) 1 << ctzl(vlenb) == vlenb.
(2) I'm not sure why esz is not already a log2 number.

This ought to look more like

  int scale = lmul - esz;
  return (scale < 0
          ? vlenb >> -scale
          : vlenb << scale);

I add a vext_get_emul() helper function in trans_rvv.inc.c:

> static uint8_t vext_get_emul(DisasContext *s, uint8_t eew)
> {
>     int8_t lmul = sextract32(s->lmul, 0, 3);

if eew is already log2(eew)
>     return emul < 0 ? 0 : emul;
> }

and pass emul as LMUL field in VDATA so that it can be
reused in vector_helper.c: vext_max_elems():

> uint8_t emul = vext_get_emul(s, eew);
> data = FIELD_DP32(data, VDATA, LMUL, emul);

I also remove the passing SEW field in VDATA codes as I think SEW
might not be required in the updated vext_max_elems() (see below).

esz is passed from e.g. GEN_VEXT_LD_STRIDE() macro:

which is calculated by sizeof(ETYPE), so the results would be: 1, 2, 4, 8.
and vext_max_elems() is called by e.g. vext_ldst_stride():

> uint32_t max_elems = vext_max_elems(desc, esz);

I can add another parameter to the macro and pass the hard-coded log2(esz)
number
if it's the better way instead of using ctzl().
Or if there's another approach to get the log2(esz) number more elegantly?

Thanks for the detailed point outs.
I manage to change the codes to below as your suggestion.

Ah, yes.

Using ctzl(sizeof(type)) in the GEN_VEXT_LD_STRIDE macro will work well.  This
will be constant folded by the compiler.

Nice, didn't come up with the compiler optimization.
Will fix the codes and send out a new version of patchset.
Thanks for the tips.

Checked the codes again,
GEN_VEXT_LD_STRIDE() will eventually call vext_ldst_stride() and pass esz
as the parameter.
However, esz is not only used in vext_max_elems() but also used for other
calculation, e.g.:

    probe_pages(env, base + stride * i, nf * esz, ra, access_type);
and
    target_ulong addr = base + stride * i + k * esz;

If we pass ctzl(sizeof(type)) in GEN_VEXT_LD_STRIDE(),
I would still have to do: (1 << esz) to get the correct element size in the
above calculations.
Would it eliminate the performance gain we have in vext_max_elems() instead?

Well, no, it will improve performance, because you'll write

  addr = base + stride * i + (k << esz)

I.e. strength-reduce the multiply to a shift.

This works like a charm.
