[PATCH v4 3/3] x86/tdx: Fix zero-extension for 32-bit port I/O

From: Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)

Date: Thu Jun 04 2026 - 11:03:13 EST


According to x86 architecture rules, 32-bit operations zero-extend the
result to 64 bits. The current implementation of handle_in() only masks
the lower 32 bits, which preserves the upper 32 bits of RAX when a
32-bit port IN instruction is emulated.

Use insn_assign_reg() to write the result back into RAX with proper
partial-register-write semantics: 1- and 2-byte forms leave the upper
bits untouched, the 4-byte form zero-extends to the full register.
