Description
https://github.com/DynamoRIO/dynamorio/wiki/AArch64-Port: "At the end of 2016, DynamoRIO's encoder/decoder handles all the load/store instructions, including load/store of FP/SIMD registers, and all the instructions that do not operate on FP/SIMD registers, up to ARMv8.2."
The non-load/store FP/SIMD instructions should be added.
See #1569, #2440 and #2443.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the AArch64-Port wiki page and review issues #1569, #2440, and #2443 to understand the existing encoder/decoder coverage. Then inventory the missing non-load/store FP/SIMD instructions in the current AArch64 implementation; done means those instructions are supported through ARMv8.2.
