[PATCH] uprobes: fix scratch register selection for rip-relative fixups

From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Thu May 01 2014 - 13:09:20 EST


Before this patch, instructions such as div, mul,
shifts with count in CL, cmpxchg are mishandled.

This patch adds vex prefix handling. In particular,
it avoids colliding with register operand encoded
in vex.vvvv field.

Since we need to avoid two possible register operands,
the selection of scratch register needs to be from at least
three registers.

After looking through a lot of CPU docs, it looks like
the safest choice is SI,DI,BX. Selecting BX needs care
to not collide with implicit use of BX by cmpxchg8b.
