Add instructions like "lwarx". Extend manual.

Add more page numbers from PowerPC version 2.01.  Remove "xnop" not in
2.01, add "mtcr" from 2.01.  Add "lwarx" and the other instructions
from Book II.  I did not try all the newly added instructions, but
these seem to work: dcbt, dcbtst, icibi, isync, lwarx, stwcx., mftb,
mftbu

In man/powerpc_as.6 (not installed), add a summary of the registers
and addressing modes (like in i386_as.6), describe short forms, update
description of hi16/ha16, add CAVEATS about instructions that some
processors can't run.

.SH NAME
powerpc_as \- assembler for PowerPC
.SH SYNOPSIS
as [options] argument ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
This assembler is made with the general framework
described in \fIuni_ass\fP(6).
.PP
It can assemble the instructions from Book I and Book II of PowerPC
version 2.01.
This includes the branch, integer, and floating point instructions
from Book I; and the cache, synchronization, and time base
instructions from Book II.
.PP
There is no support for other instructions, such as supervisor-mode
instructions or vector instructions.
There is some support for 64-bit integer instructions, but the
assembler only has 32-bit symbols.
.SH SYNTAX
Most 32-bit integer and floating point instructions are supported, but not many
short form instructions. Instructions which take 16-bit operands can additionally
use the following special functions:
.IP hi16[value], ha16[value]
Returns the high half of the value of the expression; if the value is not absolute,
also generates the appropriate fixup. Use of either of these \fImust\fR be followed,
in the next instruction, by the corresponding use of \fBlo16[]\fR. Use \fBhi16[]\fR
if the low half is going to interpret its payload as an unsigned value, and
\fBha16[]\fR if it will be interpreted as a signed value (so that the high half can
be adjusted to match).
.IP lo16[]
Returns the low half of the value of the expression. No fixup is generated. Use of
\fBlo16[]\fR must come in the instruction immediately after a use of \fBhi16[]\fR or
\fBha16[]\fR.
.SS general purpose registers
There are 32 GPRs from \fBr0\fP to \fBr31\fP.
In this assembler, \fBsp\fP is an alias for \fBr1\fP, and \fBfp\fP is
an alias for \fBr2\fP, because \fIack\fP uses r1 as the stack pointer
and r2 as the frame pointer.
Other compilers don't use r2 as the frame pointer.
.PP
GPR syntax requires a register name, not a number.
For example, \(oqaddi\ r5,\ r4,\ 1\(cq works, but
\(oqaddi\ 5,\ 4,\ 1\(cq is a syntax error.
.PP
Certain instructions ignore the contents of \fBr0\fP and use zero.
This happens when using r0 as the second operand of \fIaddi\fP or
\fIaddis\fP, or when addressing \(oqexpr(r0)\(cq or
\(oqr0,\ gpr\(cq.
The syntax is still the name r0, not the number 0.
.SS floating point registers
There are 32 FPRs from \fBf0\fP to \fBf31\fP.
Each FPR has 64 bits and can hold a single-precision or
double-precision number.
FPR syntax requires a register name, not a number.
.SS special purpose registers
The three named SPRs are \fBctr\fP (count register), \fBlr\fP (link
register), and \fBxer\fP (exception register).
\(oqmfspr\(cq and \(oqmtspr\(cq allow these names or a number.
.SS condition register
There is a 32-bit condition register, where bit 0 is most significant,
and bit 31 is least significant.
This gets split into 8 registers of 4 bits each, from \fBcr0\fP (with
bits 0 to 3) to \fBcr7\fP (with bits 28 to 31).
Some instructions use the names cr0 to cr7, others use a bit numbered
0 to 31, and others use all 32 bits.
.SS addressing modes
\(oqexpr(gpr)\(cq addresses \fIexpr\fP + the contents of \fIgpr\fP,
except that \(oqexpr(r0)\(cq addresses \fIexpr\fP\ +\ 0.
A few instructions, like \(oqstwu\(cq, also update \fIgpr\fP by
setting it to the address.
.PP
\(oqgprA,\ gprB\(cq in certain instructions addresses the contents of
\fIgprA\fP + the contents of \fIgprB\fP, except that \(oqr0,\ gprB\(cq
addresses 0\ +\ the contents of \fIgprB\fP.
.SS 16-bit operands
Some instructions have a 16-bit operand.
This can be a bare \fIexpr\fP (which must fit signed or unsigned
16 bits), or it can be one of these special functions:
.IP "hi16[expr], ha16[expr]"
Returns the high half of the 32-bit value of the expression.
If the low half is negative (from 0x8000 to 0xffff),
then \fBha16[]\fP adjusts the high half by adding 1.
Use \fBhi16[]\fP if the instruction with \fBlo16[]\fP is going to
interpret its operand as an unsigned value, or \fBha16[]\fP if it will
interpret it as signed.
.IP
If \fIexpr\fP is not absolute, then the assembler must generate a
fixup for the linker.
The fixup only works if the instruction is
\(oqaddis gpr, r0, hx16[expr]\(cq or \(oqlis gpr, hx16[expr]\(cq.
.IP lo16[expr]
Returns the low half of the 32-bit value of the expression.
.SS short forms
Some instructions have short forms using extended mnemonics (or
simplified mnemonics) like \fIli\fP, \fIsrwi\fP, and many others.
.IP "li r6, 789"
is short for: addi r6, r0, 789
.IP "srwi r3, r4, 2"
is short for: rlwinm r3, r4, 30, 2, 31
.PP
This assembler doesn't support extended mnemonics with branch
prediction, such as \fIblt+\fP or \fIbne-\fP.
It always parses \(oq+\(cq and \(oq-\(cq as operators,
never as part of a mnemonic.
.SH EXAMPLES
There are two ways to load r3 with _symbol\ =\ 0x1234abcd.
One way is
.PP
.nf
lis r3, hi16[_symbol]
ori r3, r3, lo16[_symbol] ! r3 = 0x12340000 | 0x0000abcd
.fi
.PP
The other way is
.PP
.nf
lis r3, ha16[_symbol]
addi r3, r3, lo16[_symbol] ! r3 = 0x12350000 + 0xffffabcd
.fi
.PP
The next code adds 1 to a global variable.
.PP
.nf
lis r3, ha16[_var]
lwz r4, lo16[_var](r3)
addi r4, r4, 1
stw r4, lo16[_var](r3)
.fi

.SH CAVEATS
Beware that not every processor can run every instruction.
The 32-bit processors can't run 64-bit instructions like \fIlwa\fP,
\fIstd\fP, and \fIfctid\fP.
The PowerPC 601 can't run \fIstfiwx\fP, nor \fIfres\fP, \fIfrsqrte\fP,
\fIfsel\fP.
Many models, like the PowerPC G4, can't run \fIfsqrt\fP nor
\fIfsqrts\fP.
