Jes,
Glad you tracked it down. Can I suggest rather than using memcpy, a
more efficient way might be something like...
#define ZERO_EXTEND(x,bits) ((x) & (~0UL >> (64-(bits))))
*dest = ZERO_EXTEND(p->u.ioreq.data, 8*s);
Much nicer indeed!
Here's a pretty version - Tony will you apply this one instead.
Cheers,
Jes
Only copy in the data actually requested by the instruction emulation
and zero pad the destination register first. This avoids the problem
where emulated mmio access got garbled data from ld2.acq instructions
in the vga console driver.
