Hoa Nguyen 15e0236a8b arch,cpu,sim: Add mechanism to partially print vector regs (#1234)
Currently, gem5's inst tracer prints the whole vector register container
by default. The size of vector register containers in gem5 is the
maximum size allowed by the ISA. For vector-length agnostic (VLA) vector
registers, this means ARM SVE vector container is 2048 bits long, and
RISC-V vector container is 65535 bits long. Note that VLA implementation
in gem5 allows the vector length to be varied within the limit specified
by the ISAs.

However, in most use cases of gem5, the vector length is much less than
65535 bits. This causes two issues: (1) the vector container requires
allocating and moving around a large amount of unused data while only a
fraction of it is used, and (2) printing the execution trace of a vector
register results in a wall of text with a small amount of useful data.

This change addresses the problem (2) by providing a mechanism to limit
the amount data printed by the instruction tracer. This is done by
adding a function printing the first X bits of a vector register
container, where X is the vector length determined at runtime, as
opposed to the vector container size, which is determined at compilation
time.
