Hi all,
We've recently sent up a lot of patches overhauling the testsuite of the
Arm MVE backend.
With these changes, we've also identified and fixed a number of bugs
(some backend bugs and many to do with the polymorphism of intrinsics in
MVE the header file).
These would all be relevant to backport to GCC12.
The list is as follows (in the order they all apply on top of eachother):

* 06aa66af7d0dacc1b247d9e38175e789ef159191 arm: Add missing early
clobber to MVE vrev64q_m patterns

expected register names in MVE tests
* 330d665ce6dcc63ed0bd78d807e69bbfc55255b6 arm: [MVE] Add missing
length=8 attribute
* 8d4f007398bc3f8fea812fb8cff4d7d0556d12f1 arm: fix mve intrinsics scan
body tests for C++

* 8a1360e72d6c6056606aa5edd8c906c50f26de59 arm: Split up MVE _Generic
associations to prevent type clashes [PR107515]
* 3f0ca7a3e4431534bff3b8eb73709cc822e489b0 arm: Fix vcreate definition
* c1093923733a1072a237f112e3239b5ebd88eadd arm: Make MVE masked stores
read memory operand [PR 108177]
* f54e31ddefe3ea7146624eabcb75b1c90dc59f1a arm: fix __arm_vld1q_z* and
__arm_vst1q_p* intrinsics [PR108442]
* 1d509f190393627cffffdf0afffc427b25dd21c2 arm: remove unused variables
from test
-- up to this point everything applied cleanly. The final two need minor
rebasing changes --
* This patch series:
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-April/617008.html (Not
pushed to trunk yet, but has been approved. For trunk we do now need to
resolve some merge conflicts, since Christophe has started merging the
MVE Intrinsic Restructuring, but these are trivial. I will also backport
to GCC13 where this patch series applies cleanly)
* cfa118fc089e38a94ec60ccf5b667aea015e5f60 [arm] complete vmsr/vmrs
blank and case adjustments.
The final one is a commit from Alexandre Oliva that is needed to ensure
that we don't accidentally regress the test due to the tabs vs spaces
and capitalisation on the vmrs/vmsr instructions :)
After all that, no regressions on baremetal arm-none-eabi in a bunch
configurations (-marm, thumb1, thumb2, MVE, MVE.FP, softfp and hardfp):
Thanks,
Stam
