Previously if the instruction was encoded to use rsp, rbp, rsi, or rdi then due to how these were encoded in modrm this would hit the frontend path for writing to the high 8 bits of a 16bit register. This is because it's instruction specific if an 8-bit modrm instruction chooses to use the high 8-bit region or the upper 4 registers. See the ModRM.reg section of `ModRM.reg and .r/m Field Encodings` specifically to see what each encoding stands for. Has four different meanings per encoding depending on instruction. This instruction doesn't actually write to registers at 8-bit size, it extracts an element at 8-bit size and then zero extends it to the full GPR. When storing to memory it always stores to memory at the size of the element extracted. I grepped around the instruction tables to see if there were any other instances of this mistake. This was the only one. Fixes #1472 and also gets Psychonauts 2 running.
FEXCore - Fast x86 Core emulation library
This is the core emulation library that is used for the FEX emulator project. This project aims to provide a fast and functional x86-64 emulation library that can meet and surpass other x86-64 emulation libraries.
Goals
- Be as fast as possible, beating and exceeding current options for x86-64 emulation
- 25% - 50% lower performance than native code would be desired target
- Use an IR to efficiently translate x86-64 to our host architecture
- Support a tiered recompiler to allow for fast runtime performance
- Support offline compilation and offline tooling for inspection and performance analysis
- Support threaded emulation. Including emulating x86-64's strong memory model on weak memory model architectures
- Support a significant portion of the x86-64 instruction space.
- Including MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, and SSE4*
- Support fallback routines for uncommonly used x86-64 instructions
- Including x87 and 3DNow!
- Only support userspace emulation.
- All x86-64 instructions run as if they are under CPL-3(userland) security layer
- Minimal Linux Syscall emulation for testing purposes
- Portable library implementation in order to support easy integration in to applications
Target Host Architecture
The target host architecture for this library is AArch64. Specifically the ARMv8.1 version or newer. The CPU IR is designed with AArch64 in mind but should allow for other architectures as well. x86-64 host support is available for ease of development, but is not a priority.
Not desired
- Kernel space emulation
- CPL0-2 emulation
- Real Mode, Protected Mode, Virtual-8086 Mode, System Management Mode
- IRQs
- SVM
- "Cycle Accurate" emulation
