This is some C++ code using Eigen and built with gcc 9.2 "-O3 -mavx". I failed to find a small reproducer.

I have almost the exact same error:

vex amd64->IR:   PFX.66=1 PFX.F2=0 PFX.F3=0

version: valgrind-3.21.0.GIT
Comment 2 masterchi23 2023-05-09 08:50:58 UTC 
In latest git this is still the same problem. It is coming from a common _mm_loadl_epi64 intrinsic. 
I compiled the source with both g++ 11.3.0 and 12.1.0, same results. When compiling with -O0 this does not occur.

Comment 3 Tom Hughes 2023-05-09 09:02:28 UTC 
That is an AVX512 instruction, or at least uses EVEX encoding, which means it is dependent on AVX512 support being added.

Until then you will need to compile to target an architecture that does not support AVX512.

Scratch that I'm talking nonsense - that is VEX encoding.
Comment 5 Tom Hughes 2023-05-09 09:07:57 UTC 
I believe the instruction is:

VEX.128.66.0F.WIG D6 /r
VMOVQ xmm1/m64, xmm2

Move quadword from xmm2 register to xmm1/m64.
