Entrpi e669365c3b feat(ghidra): admit RISC-V ilp32 ELF with a derived calling convention (#8229)
* feat(ghidra): record the RISC-V float-ABI calling-convention decision

Decision D3 (#7477), provisional: admit ELF32 soft-float (ilp32) RISC-V
images through a lane that keeps the pinned RISCV:LE:32:default language and
corrects the calling convention in the bridge.

This commit is the contract only; admission is unchanged.

- The domain owns the e_flags float-ABI vocabulary and parses
  .riscv.attributes and Tag_RISCV_arch into a declared, absent or
  unavailable ISA declaration.
- The Ghidra profile owns the lane table (class and float ABI), lane ids
  built from fields, the ilp32-prototype-v1 policy and its __rea_ilp32
  prototype, and the extensions Ghidra 12.1.4 decodes with p-code.
- The session handshake accepts the bridge's calling-convention report.
- docs/ghidra-riscv.md keeps the decision record and per-ABI policies for
  ilp32 and ilp32f; a test keeps it in step with the tables.
- tests/conformance/c/riscv-float-abi.c is the source the policies were
  measured on.

* feat(ghidra): admit RISC-V ilp32 ELF with a derived calling convention

ESP32-C2, C3, C5, C6, C61, H2 and H21 builds are ELF32 soft-float (ilp32)
images, which the RISC-V lane refused at its double-float check. Ghidra
12.1.4's generic RV32 compiler specification models ilp32d, so its stock
prototype would read float and double arguments from fa0-fa7.

- Target resolution reads the one SHT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES section through the
  same bounded ELF declaration reader as range validation, and records
  Tag_RISCV_arch as declared, absent or unavailable.
- Admission selects a lane from the class and float-ABI table. The soft-float
  lane also requires an RV32I Tag_RISCV_arch that declares only extensions
  Ghidra decodes with p-code; the refusal names any others (Zcb, Zcmp, Zcmt,
  Zb*, xesp*).
- Soft-float profiles commit float_abi, arch, riscv_calling_convention
  ilp32-prototype-v1 and the lane elf32-exec-le-soft-float-generic-v1.
  Double-float profiles are unchanged.
- ReaGhidraRiscvCallingConvention.java runs after analysis. It derives
  __rea_ilp32 from the default prototype without floating-point entries and
  rules, with fs0-fs11 killed by calls, self-checks its storage and assigns
  it to every non-thunk function, external function and function
  definition. Its report is written last.
- The provider client requires that report exactly when the profile commits
  the policy, before any operation, and keeps it as session limitations and
  caller-project history.

ELF32 single-float (ilp32f), quad-float and ELF64 soft- or single-float
images stay refused, now with a reason built from the lane table.

* test(ghidra): verify RISC-V ilp32 against real Ghidra

verify:ghidra:riscv now also builds tests/conformance/c/riscv-float-abi.c
with ESP32-C3's -march=rv32imc_zicsr_zifencei -mabi=ilp32, typed with DWARF
and linked again with --strip-all. Every allocated section of the stripped
image must keep its address and bytes.

- riscv-checks.mjs holds the ilp32 storage of each fixture function together
  with the words the compiler's call site writes there. An LLVM objdump
  reading of the caller must find every word at its stated location: an
  unaligned named double, the a7/stack split, two floats in an integer pair,
  a large structure by reference, aligned variadic pairs and an indirect
  call.
- Through CLI and stdio MCP, the soft-float builds must report the soft-float
  lane and ilp32-prototype-v1, __rea_ilp32 with exactly that storage (one
  integer word per location when stripped), caller pseudocode that passes the
  source constants and names no floating-point register, the prototype
  outcome in retained Evidence, and decoded fence.i and csrr.
- The RV32 double-float image relabelled as soft-float, refused before, is
  admitted through the new lane. RV64 soft-float, single-float and unsupported
  bits are refused with their reasons.
- riscv-checks.test.ts runs the checks offline against recorded LLVM and
  Ghidra output, including Ghidra's stock ilp32d prototypes as a negative
  control.

* fix(ghidra): pass RISC-V ilp32 values over 8 bytes by reference

The psABI passes any value wider than 2 x XLEN by reference, scalars
included. __rea_ilp32 converted only structures and unions over 8 bytes to
pointers, so a long double (16 bytes) was joined into a1-a4. Measured on
Ghidra 12.1.4, rea_riscv_abi_quad(long double value, int sel) read value
from a4:4,a3:4,a2:4,a1:4 and sel from a5, where clang passes a pointer in
a1 and sel in a2.

- ReaGhidraRiscvCallingConvention.java now has one derivation driven by a
  per-policy row (floating-point entry size, preserved floating-point
  registers). Every policy inserts a rule before the input list's final
  join that converts any value of 9 bytes or more to a pointer; a return
  that size already becomes a caller buffer. The self-check requires a
  16-byte value to pass by reference.
- The fixture gains rea_riscv_abi_quad. The call-site oracle now checks the
  words the by-reference pointers point at, for the large structure and the
  long double, and the recorded data comes from an LLVM 19 build.
- docs/ghidra-riscv.md: the decision record and the ilp32 policy row.

ilp32-prototype-v1 keeps its id: no release carries it yet.

* test(ghidra): check RISC-V lane limitations by their facts

The limitation tests froze a full explanatory sentence, the note count and
array positions, so a harmless rewording failed them: the pattern Greptile
flagged on #7486. Assert the facts the notes must carry instead: the pinned
language, the static-linkage boundary, one note naming the declared ABI,
the ABI the pinned language models and the prototype REA applies, and the
declared ISA.

* test(ghidra): check return storage in stripped RISC-V ilp32 builds

The stripped branch of assertRiscvIlp32Storage compared parameter storage
only, so an inferred return that lost the high word of a register pair,
such as rea_riscv_abi_wide at a0:4 instead of a1:4,a0:4, still passed.

Stripped returns must now use the typed build's storage, or none when the
result goes through caller memory. Recovered type names are still not
compared: a test accepts other type names and refuses the dropped high word.

* docs(ghidra): record decision D3 as decided in #7477
