We can use the new VEX prefixes to select into a large table of new
opcode spaces. Since the table is (currently) sparse, add logic so we
don't end up producing tons of empty tables for no good reason.
This is also necessary since VEX is likely to reuse opcode bytes that
would appear as prefixes at some point, which would cause conflicts
with the regular tables.
"make alldeps" doesn't really like it when included files end in *.c.
Instead of renaming insnsb.c to insnsb.h, make it an actual
compilation unit, since there really isn't any reason for it not to
be.
Generate a byte array instead of using C compiler strings for the byte
codes. This has a few advantages:
- No need to special-case zero due to broken C compilers.
- Only insns.pl only ever reads the string, so we can invent our own
syntax.
- Compaction.
- We can give it the proper, unsigned type.
First cut at AVX machinery support. The only instruction implemented
is VPERMIL2PS, and it's probably buggy. I'm checking this in with the
hope that other people can start helping out with (a) testing this,
and (b) adding instructions.
NDISASM support is not there yet.
Add special operators to allow the use of floating-point constants in
contexts other than DW/DD/DQ/DT/DO.
As part of this checkin, make MAX_KEYWORD generated by tokhash.pl,
since it knows what all the keywords are so it can tell which one is
the longest.
Modify the disassembler so that we can have separate instruction
tables for prefixed instructions. As it was, all instructions which
started with 0F were linearly searched, and that is by now more than
half the instruction set.
Implement oword, reso, do, as well as the SO flag to instructions. No
instructions are actually flagged with SO yet, but this allows us to
specify 128-bit sizes in instruction patterns.
This checkin completes what is required to actually generate SSE5
instructions. No support in the disassembler yet.
This checkin covers:
- Support for actually generating DREX prefixes.
- Support for matching operand "operand X must match Y"
Add the SSSE3, SSE4.1 and SSE4.2 instruction sets. Change \332 to be
a literal 0xF2 prefix, by analog with \333 for 0xF3 prefix (the
previous \332 flag changed to \335). This is necessary to get the REX
prefix in the right place for instructions that use it.
We are going to have to go in and change existing instruction patterns
which use these, as well.
- MOV gpr,CRx or MOV CRx,gpr can access high control registers with a LOCK
prefix; handle that in both the assembler and disassembler.
- Get a saner error message when trying to access high resources in
non-64-bit mode.
