25 /// X86 Disassembler Emitter
26 ///
27 /// *** IF YOU'RE HERE TO RESOLVE A "Primary decode conflict", LOOK DOWN NEAR
28 ///     THE END OF THIS COMMENT!
29 ///
30 /// The X86 disassembler emitter is part of the X86 Disassembler, which is
31 /// documented in lib/Target/X86/X86Disassembler.h.
32 ///
33 /// The emitter produces the tables that the disassembler uses to translate
34 /// instructions.  The emitter generates the following tables:
35 ///
36 /// - One table (CONTEXTS_SYM) that contains a mapping of attribute masks to
37 ///   instruction contexts.  Although for each attribute there are cases where
38 ///   that attribute determines decoding, in the majority of cases decoding is
39 ///   the same whether or not an attribute is present.  For example, a 64-bit
40 ///   instruction with an OPSIZE prefix and an XS prefix decodes the same way in
41 ///   all cases as a 64-bit instruction with only OPSIZE set.  (The XS prefix
42 ///   may have effects on its execution, but does not change the instruction
43 ///   returned.)  This allows considerable space savings in other tables.
44 /// - Six tables (ONEBYTE_SYM, TWOBYTE_SYM, THREEBYTE38_SYM, THREEBYTE3A_SYM,
45 ///   THREEBYTEA6_SYM, and THREEBYTEA7_SYM contain the hierarchy that the
46 ///   decoder traverses while decoding an instruction.  At the lowest level of
47 ///   this hierarchy are instruction UIDs, 16-bit integers that can be used to
48 ///   uniquely identify the instruction and correspond exactly to its position
49 ///   in the list of CodeGenInstructions for the target.
50 /// - One table (INSTRUCTIONS_SYM) contains information about the operands of
51 ///   each instruction and how to decode them.
52 ///
53 /// During table generation, there may be conflicts between instructions that
54 /// occupy the same space in the decode tables.  These conflicts are resolved as
55 /// follows in setTableFields() (X86DisassemblerTables.cpp)
56 ///
57 /// - If the current context is the native context for one of the instructions
58 ///   (that is, the attributes specified for it in the LLVM tables specify
59 ///   precisely the current context), then it has priority.
60 /// - If the current context isn't native for either of the instructions, then
61 ///   the higher-priority context wins (that is, the one that is more specific).
62 ///   That hierarchy is determined by outranks() (X86DisassemblerTables.cpp)
63 /// - If the current context is native for both instructions, then the table
64 ///   emitter reports a conflict and dies.
65 ///
66 /// *** RESOLUTION FOR "Primary decode conflict"S
67 ///
68 /// If two instructions collide, typically the solution is (in order of
69 /// likelihood):
70 ///
71 /// (1) to filter out one of the instructions by editing filter()
72 ///     (X86RecognizableInstr.cpp).  This is the most common resolution, but
73 ///     check the Intel manuals first to make sure that (2) and (3) are not the
74 ///     problem.
75 /// (2) to fix the tables (X86.td and its subsidiaries) so the opcodes are
76 ///     accurate.  Sometimes they are not.
77 /// (3) to fix the tables to reflect the actual context (for example, required
78 ///     prefixes), and possibly to add a new context by editing
79 ///     include/llvm/Support/X86DisassemblerDecoderCommon.h.  This is unlikely
80 ///     to be the cause.
81 ///
82 /// DisassemblerEmitter.cpp contains the implementation for the emitter,
83 ///   which simply pulls out instructions from the CodeGenTarget and pushes them
84 ///   into X86DisassemblerTables.
85 /// X86DisassemblerTables.h contains the interface for the instruction tables,
86 ///   which manage and emit the structures discussed above.
87 /// X86DisassemblerTables.cpp contains the implementation for the instruction
88 ///   tables.
89 /// X86ModRMFilters.h contains filters that can be used to determine which
90 ///   ModR/M values are valid for a particular instruction.  These are used to
91 ///   populate ModRMDecisions.
92 /// X86RecognizableInstr.h contains the interface for a single instruction,
93 ///   which knows how to translate itself from a CodeGenInstruction and provide
94 ///   the information necessary for integration into the tables.
95 /// X86RecognizableInstr.cpp contains the implementation for a single
96 ///   instruction.
