Title:
incorrect handling of [r32] address (long mode)
Status in QEMU:
Incomplete
Bug description:
while executing in Long Mode (x86-64) instructions such as
mov eax,[r15d]
end up executing as
mov eax,[r15]
according to x86 programmer manuals the behavior of using the Address-
Size override (in long mode) is supposed to ignore the high 32bits of
the register. I use this fact in my operating system to reduce
register usage (the high 32 bits of r15 holds other data).
consequently a general protection exception occurs since the memory
address isn't "canonical". this error doesn't always appear since the
high 32 bits might not be zero in those conditions.
