Subject: re: x86, mpx: Decode MPX instruction to get bound violation information
Date: Mon, 18 May 2015 12:32:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150518123216.GD32633@mwanda> (raw)
Hello Dave Hansen,
The patch fcc7ffd67991: "x86, mpx: Decode MPX instruction to get
bound violation information" from Nov 14, 2014, leads to the
following static checker warning:
arch/x86/mm/mpx.c:147 get_reg_offset()
warn: masked condition is always false. '((insn->rex_prefix.value) & 2) = 1'
arch/x86/mm/mpx.c
138 switch (type) {
139 case REG_TYPE_RM:
140 regno = X86_MODRM_RM(insn->modrm.value);
141 if (X86_REX_B(insn->rex_prefix.value) = 1)
142 regno += 8;
143 break;
144
145 case REG_TYPE_INDEX:
146 regno = X86_SIB_INDEX(insn->sib.value);
147 if (X86_REX_X(insn->rex_prefix.value) = 1)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Was X86_REX_B() intended?
148 regno += 8;
149 break;
150
151 case REG_TYPE_BASE:
152 regno = X86_SIB_BASE(insn->sib.value);
153 if (X86_REX_B(insn->rex_prefix.value) = 1)
154 regno += 8;
155 break;
156
157 default:
158 pr_err("invalid register type");
159 BUG();
160 break;
161 }
regards,
dan carpenter
