Description Sebastien Cote 2010-04-07 20:14:32 UTC

Version:           SVN r1969 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Running valgrind on an application using Intel Performance Primitive libraries, valgrind exits with the following message:

vex amd64->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0x48 0xF 0xFE 0x7E 0x70 0x48
==23588== valgrind: Unrecognised instruction at address 0x17783a16.

This can be reproduced with valgrind r11100 and VEX r1969.

Running objdump -d on the library and grepping for these bytes, I get the following instruction:

8e1a4:       48 0f fe 7e 70          rex.W paddd  0x70(%rsi),%mm7

Comment 1 Sebastien Cote 2010-04-07 20:17:39 UTC

I also get another unhandled instruction with IPP (in a different part of the code):

vex amd64->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0x48 0xF 0xFC 0xD 0x77 0x8A
==21616== valgrind: Unrecognised instruction at address 0x182e0171.


I get the following from objdump:
65171:   48 0f fc 0d 77 8a 24   rex.W paddb  0x248a77(%rip),%mm1    # 2adbf0 <const_array_of_127b>


I can open another bug for the second instruction if it matters.

workaround for rex.W prefix

Attached workaround for the REX.W prefix. The PMOVMSKB instruction is just ignored for now but with these changes my application can run inside valgrind with memcheck.
