Subject: x86/decoder: Add new TEST instruction pattern
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 12a78d43de767eaf8fb272facb7a7b6f2dc6a9df upstream.
The kbuild test robot reported this build warning:
Warning: arch/x86/tools/test_get_len found difference at <jump_table>:ffffffff8103dd2c
Warning: ffffffff8103dd82: f6 09 d8 testb $0xd8,(%rcx)
Warning: objdump says 3 bytes, but insn_get_length() says 2
Warning: decoded and checked 1569014 instructions with 1 warnings
This sequence seems to be a new instruction not in the opcode map in the Intel SDM.
The instruction sequence is "F6 09 d8", means Group3(F6), MOD(00)REG(001)RM(001), and 0xd8.
Intel SDM vol2 A.4 Table A-6 said the table index in the group is "Encoding of Bits 5,4,3 of
the ModR/M Byte (bits 2,1,0 in parenthesis)"
In that table, opcodes listed by the index REG bits as:
000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111
TEST Ib/Iz,(undefined),NOT,NEG,MUL AL/rAX,IMUL AL/rAX,DIV AL/rAX,IDIV AL/rAX
So, it seems TEST Ib is assigned to 001.
Add the new pattern.
