target/riscv/vector_helpers: do early exit when vstart >= vl
We're going to make changes that will required each helper to be responsible for the 'vstart' management, i.e. we will relieve the 'vstart < vl' assumption that helpers have today. Helpers are usually able to deal with vstart >= vl, i.e. doing nothing aside from setting vstart = 0 at the end, but the tail update functions will update the tail regardless of vstart being valid or not. Unifying the tail update process in a single function that would handle the vstart >= vl case isn't trivial (see [1] for more info). This patch takes a blunt approach: do an early exit in every single vector helper if vstart >= vl, unless the helper is guarded with vstart_eq_zero in the translation. For those cases the helper is ready to deal with cases where vl might be zero, i.e. throwing exceptions based on it like vcpop_m() and first_m(). Helpers that weren't changed: - vcpop_m(), vfirst_m(), vmsetm(), GEN_VEXT_VIOTA_M(): these are guarded directly with vstart_eq_zero; - GEN_VEXT_VCOMPRESS_VM(): guarded with vcompress_vm_check() that checks vstart_eq_zero; - GEN_VEXT_RED(): guarded with either reduction_check() or reduction_widen_check(), both check vstart_eq_zero; - GEN_VEXT_FRED(): guarded with either freduction_check() or freduction_widen_check(), both check vstart_eq_zero. Another exception is vext_ldst_whole(), who operates on effective vector length regardless of the current settings in vtype and vl.
