Coming back to this, the trigger if cpuid family=6 and model>=13 (model 12 works). Looks like the code disables rep_good is some MSR doesn't have the expected value. While we should configure the MSR correctly, it looks like the fallback code for !rep_good is broken. Will look further.


Ok, without rep_good, memcpy() sometimes copies backwards. A stale copy of memmove_64.c I had around got picked up instead of memmove_64.S; that memmove() used memcpy() in the copy-forward case.

So, nothing to see, sorry about the noise.
