[Bug 1828867] Re: QEmu translation is incorrect when using REX in combination with LAHF/SAHF

[Thomas Huth]

The QEMU project is currently considering to move its bug tracking to
another system. For this we need to know which bugs are still valid
and which could be closed already. Thus we are setting older bugs to
"Incomplete" now.

If you still think this bug report here is valid, then please switch
the state back to "New" within the next 60 days, otherwise this report
will be marked as "Expired". Or please mark it as "Fix Released" if
the problem has been solved with a newer version of QEMU already.

Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

Title:
  QEmu translation is incorrect when using REX in combination with
  LAHF/SAHF

Status in QEMU:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When translating code that is using LAHF and SAHF in combination with the REX 
prefix then qemu translates incorrectly.
  These two instructions only ever use the AH register. Contrary to other 
instructions where if you use REX + high bit offsets then it'll pull in rsp and 
a few other registers.
  On hardware the REX prefix doesn't effect behaviour of these instructions at 
all.
  QEMU incorrectly selects RSP as the register of choice here due to this 
combination of REX + AH register usage.

  I've attached a patch that is super terrible just so I can work around
  the issue locally and to sort of show off how it is to be "fixed"
