Subject: [PATCH] x86: comment in x86-opcode-map.txt on CALLW discrepancy between Intel and AMD
Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2014 15:34:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1397828095-5356-1-git-send-email-dvlasenk@redhat.com> (raw)

In 64-bit mode, AMD and Intel CPUs treat 0x66 prefix before branch
insns differently. For near branches, it affects decode too since
immediate offset's width is different.
