This patch removes support for the two instructions above from the GNU
simulator, including the corresponding tests. These instructions do
not really exist in BPF and are not recognized as such by the kernel
verifier. This has now been pointed out during the standardization of
the BPF ISA.

This commit is the result of the following actions:
- Running gdb/copyright.py to update all of the copyright headers to
include 2024,
- Manually updating a few files the copyright.py script told me to
update, these files had copyright headers embedded within the
file,
- Regenerating gdbsupport/Makefile.in to refresh it's copyright
date,
- Using grep to find other files that still mentioned 2023. If
these files were updated last year from 2022 to 2023 then I've
updated them this year to 2024.
I'm sure I've probably missed some dates. Feel free to fix them up as
you spot them.
The BPF virtual machine does not support neg instructions operating on
immediates, and these erroneous instructions were recently removed from
gas. Remove them from the simulator as well.
This patch fixes the semantics of the neg and neg32 BPF instructions
in the simulator, and also updates the corresponding tests
accordingly.
Tested in target bpf-unknown-none.
The BPF port in binutils has been rewritten (commit
d218e7fedc) in order to not be longer
based on CGEN. Please see that commit log for more information.
This patch updates the BPF simulator accordingly. The new
implementation is much simpler and it is based on the new BPF opcodes.
Tested with target bpf-unknown-none with both 64-bit little-endian
host and 32-bit little-endian host.
Note that I have not tested in a big-endian host yet. I will do so
once this lands upstream so I can use the GCC compiler farm.
