I've updated that branch; please try again.
Thanks.
I am no friend of git's, and my mercurial commands (pull -u) cause
million conflicts.
OK, I grabbed a new copy and have built it. It works better, sshd now
runs.
Somethings seems wrong with adcx and/or adox. Or I have completely
misundersand how they are supposed to work. Or gdb (6.1.1) lies to me.
(Building a newer gdb now.)
The apparent symptom is that an
adox (%rdi,%rcx,8), %r9
where the 8 bytes at the memory location contains just zeros,
and r9 is some random value, results in OF being set.
I trace this behaviour from gdb. I have reasons to mistrust gdb, since
if I stick an "jo ." after the adox insn, it does not hang.
My attempts at creating trivial stand-alone test has failed.
I only have Intel's 327831.pdf document which does not accurately
document adcx or adox. Their detailed manuals are aparently silent
about these insns.
Does qemu ever fold foldable constructs like
move $0, %rax
add %rax, %rax
?
That could explian why my stand-alone tests cannot trigger the apparent
problem.
