Fix displaced-stepping RIP-relative VEX-encoded instructions (AVX) (PR gdb/22499)
PR gdb/22499 is about a latent bug exposed by the switch to "maint set target-non-stop on" by default on x86-64 GNU/Linux, a while ago. With that on, GDB is also preferring to use displaced-stepping by default. The testcase in the bug is failing because GDB ends up incorrectly displaced-stepping over a RIP-relative VEX-encoded instruction, like this: 0x00000000004007f5 <+15>: c5 fb 10 05 8b 01 00 00 vmovsd 0x18b(%rip),%xmm0 # 0x400988 While RIP-relative instructions need adjustment when relocated to the scratch pad, GDB ends up just copying VEX-encoded instructions to the scratch pad unmodified, with the end result that the inferior ends up executing an instruction that fetches/writes memory from the wrong address... This patch teaches GDB about the VEX-encoding prefixes, fixing the problem, and adds a testcase that fails without the GDB fix. I think we may need a similar treatment for EVEX-encoded instructions, but I didn't address that simply because I couldn't find any EVEX-encoded RIP-relative instruction in the gas testsuite. In any case, this commit is forward progress as-is already. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-12-04 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> PR gdb/22499 * amd64-tdep.c (amd64_insn::rex_offset): Rename to...
