[PATCH] KVM: x86 emulator: emulate MOVNTDQ

From: Alex Williamson
Date: Fri Jul 11 2014 - 13:56:36 EST


Windows 8.1 guest with NVIDIA driver and GPU fails to boot with an
emulation failure. The KVM spew suggests the fault is with lack of
movntdq emulation (courtesy of Paolo):

Code=02 00 00 b8 08 00 00 00 f3 0f 6f 44 0a f0 f3 0f 6f 4c 0a e0 <66> 0f e7 41 f0 66 0f e7 49 e0 48 83 e9 40 f3 0f 6f 44 0a 10 f3 0f 6f 0c 0a 66 0f e7 41 10

$ as -o a.out
.section .text
.byte 0x66, 0x0f, 0xe7, 0x41, 0xf0
.byte 0x66, 0x0f, 0xe7, 0x49, 0xe0
$ objdump -d a.out
0: 66 0f e7 41 f0 movntdq %xmm0,-0x10(%rcx)
5: 66 0f e7 49 e0 movntdq %xmm1,-0x20(%rcx)

Add the necessary emulation.

Hope I got all the flags correct from copying similar MOV ops, but it
allows the guest to boot, so I suspect it's ok.
