[PATCH v2] x86: don't use opcode_length to identify pseudo prefixes

Jan Beulich jbeulich@suse.com
Tue Mar 23 16:42:43 GMT 2021


This is in preparation of opcode_length going away as a field in the
templates. Identify pseudo prefixes by a base opcode of zero instead:
No real prefix has an opcode of zero. This at the same time allows
dropping a curious special case from i386-gen.

Since most attributes are identical for all pseudo prefixes, take the
opportunity and also template them.

	* config/tc-i386.c (parse_insn): Recognize pseudo prefixes by
	base_opcode and extension_opcode.

opcodes/
2021-03-XX  Jan Beulich  <jbeulich@suse.com>

	* i386-gen.c (process_i386_opcode_modifier): Drop IsPrefix
	check.
	* i386-opc.h (Prefix_*): Move #define-s.
	* i386-opc.tbl: Move pseudo prefix enumerator values to
	extension opcode field. Introduce pseudopfx template.
	* i386-tbl.h: Re-generate.

v2: Introduce PSEUDO_PREFIX and pseudopfx template.
