Ah, right. I suggest we call this
ARM_FEATURE_THUMB_DSP /* DSP insns supported in the Thumb encodings */
and in arm_cpu_realizefn() just after the bit where we set ARM_FEATURE_CBAR
you want:
if (arm_feature(ARM_FEATURE_THUMB2) && !arm_feature(ARM_FEATURE_M)) {
set_feature(env, ARM_FEATURE_THUMB_DSP);
}
because all A and R profile cores with Thumb2 have these instructions.
You'll also want to set the THUMB_DSP feature bit for your new M4
core in its cortex_m4_initfn(), and that should be enough.
(I think "THUMB_DSP" is better than "DSP" because in the ARM encoding
we won't look at this feature bit, because the presence of the insns
is determined by the architecture version -- some come in in v5 and the
rest in v6.)
For floating point, is it sufficient to turn on ARM_FEATURE_VFP4 for
the M4, or does that enable too much?
