Subject: [PATCH 11/16] KVM: emulate: Support REX2-prefixed opcode decode
Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2025 04:07:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251221040742.29749-12-chang.seok.bae@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251221040742.29749-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com>

Extend the instruction decoder to recognize and handle the REX2 prefix,
including validation of prefix sequences and correct opcode table
selection.

REX2 is a terminal prefix: once 0xD5 is encountered, the following byte
is the opcode. When REX.M=0, most prefix bytes are invalid after REX2,
including REX, VEX, EVEX, and another REX2. Also, REX2-prefixed
instructions are only valid in 64-bit mode.

All of the invalid prefix combinations after REX2 coincide with opcodes
that are architecturally invalid in 64-bit mode. Thus, marking such
opcodes with No64 in opcode_table[] naturally disallows those illegal
prefix sequences.

The 0x40–0x4F opcode row was missing the No64 flag. While NoRex already
invalidates REX2 for these opcodes, adding No64 makes opcode attributes
explicit and complete.

Changes since last version:
* Simplify REX2 validation logic (Paolo).
* Add direct jumps to the relevant decode paths to reduce control flow
  complexity (Paolo).
* Rewrite and clarify the changelog.
