VZEROUPPER is an AVX instruction only supported by valgrind for amd64 (x86_64) executables, not for i386 executables. |
Created attachment 89535 [details] c file calling vzeroupper When I try to valgrind a 32-bit program which contains the vzeroupper instruction valgrind will report an illegal instruction: vex x86->IR: unhandled instruction bytes: 0xC5 0xF8 0x77 0x5D See attached PoC, compile it with gcc -m32 and run valgrind on the output. This is not a constructed example, it happened to me while running real-world debugging. Seems the 32 bit libc on my system contains this instruction in the function vsprintf.
