Subject: [PATCH] target/i386: Remove unnecessary checks of b2 in SSE decode
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2021 18:12:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210820171220.15089-1-peter.maydell@linaro.org> (raw)

In the SSE decode function gen_sse(), we combine a byte
'b' and a value 'b1' which can be [0..3], and switch on them:
   b |= (b1 << 8);
   switch (b) {
   ...
   default:
   unknown_op:
       gen_unknown_opcode(env, s);
       return;
   }

In three cases inside this switch, we were then also checking for
 "if (b1 >= 2) { goto unknown_op; }".
However, this can never happen, because the 'case' values in each place
are 0x0nn or 0x1nn and the switch will have directed the b1 == (2, 3)
cases to the default already.

Delete the dead code.

This check was added in commit c045af25a52e9 in 2010; the added code
was unnecessary then as well.  this commit amounts to a revert of
c045af25a52e9.

Fixes: Coverity CID 1460207

Somebody should double-check this, because one assumes Andi
added the code for a reason...
