The flag is supposed to be used in templates which allow for both a
"short" and a "long" format memory operand. Drop it from templates not
matching this pattern. In the control/status word cases it was (ab)used
in place of the intended IgnoreSize.
... instead of an operand type bit: It's an insn property, not an
operand one. There's just one actual change to be made to the
templates: Most are now required to have the (unswapped) destination go
into ModR/M.rm, so VMOVD template needs its opcode adjusted accordingly
and its operands swapped. {,V}MOVS{S,D}, otoh, are left alone in this
regard, as otherwise generated code would differ from what we've been
producing so far (which I don't think is wanted).
Take the opportunity and add a missing IgnoreSize to pextrb (leading to
an error in 16-bit mode), and take the liberty to once again drop stray
IgnoreSize attributes from lines changed and neighboring related ones.
They're the only exception to there generally being no mix of register
kinds possible in an insn operand template, and there being two bits per
operand for their representation is also quite wasteful, considering the
low number of uses. Fold both bits and deal with the little bit of
fallout.
Also take the liberty and drop dead code trying to set REX_B: No segment
register has RegRex set on it.
Additionally I was quite surprised that PUSH/POP with the permitted
segment registers is not covered by the test cases. Add the missing
pieces.
It is pretty wasteful to have a per-operand flag which is used in
exactly 4 cases. It can be relatively easily replaced, and by doing so
I've actually found some dead code to remove at the same time (there's
no case of ImmExt set at the same time as Vec_Imm4).
In quite a few cases ImmExt gets used when there's not really any
immediate, but rather a degenerate ModR/M byte. ENCL{S,U} show how this
case is supposed to be dealt with. Eliminate most abuses, leaving in
place (for now) only ones where process_immext() is involved.
It seems to be not uncommon for people to use AND or OR in this form for
just setting the status flags. TEST, which doesn't write to any
register other than EFLAGS, ought to be preferred. Make the change only
for -O2 and above though, at least for now.
When they're in the 0F opcode space, swapping their source operands may
allow switching from 3-byte to 2-byte VEX prefix encoding. Note that NaN
behavior precludes us doing so for many packed and scalar floating point
insns; such an optimization would need to be done by the compiler
instead in this case, when it knows that NaN-s have undefined behavior
anyway.
While for explicitly specified AVX/AVX2 insns the optimization (for now
at least) gets done only for -O2 and -Os, it is utilized by default in
SSE2AVX mode, as there we're re-writing the programmer's specified insns
anyway.
Rather than introducing a new attribute flag, the change re-uses one
which so far was meaningful only for EVEX-encoded insns.
As long as there's no write mask as well as no broadcast, and as long
as the scaled Disp8 wouldn't result in a shorter EVEX encoding, encode
VPAND{D,Q}, VPANDN{D,Q}, VPOR{D,Q}, and VPXOR{D,Q} acting on only the
lower 16 XMM/YMM registers using their VEX equivalents with -O1.
Also take the opportunity and avoid looping twice over all operands
when dealing with memory-with-displacement ones.
While the ISA extensions doc suggests them to be made available just
like the SDM does for the PCLMULQDQ ISA extension, these weren't added
when supposrt for the new extension was introduced.
Also make sure the 64-bit non-AVX512 test actually tests VEX encodings,
not EVEX ones.
In commit dc821c5f9a ("x86: replace Reg8, Reg16, Reg32, and Reg64") I
apparently blindly copied the original register/memory templates into
separate ones, in particular without removing the Disp8MemShift which
are applicable to templates with memory operands only.
MOVNTI was wrongly assembled with a 66h prefix. Add IgnoreSize to
address this. It and the scalar to/from integer conversion insns also
were also wrongly using Ev / Gv, leading to 16-bit register names being
printed when 32-bit ones were meant.
Clone the 32-bit SSE2 test to cover both assembler and disassembler.
For AVX512 instructions with Disp8ShiftVL and Broadcast, we may need to
add CheckRegSize to check if broadcast matches the destination register
size.

PEXTR{B,W} and PINSR{B,W}, just like for AVX512BW, are WIG, no matter
that the SDM uses a nonstandard description of that fact.
PEXTRD, even with EVEX.W set, ignores that bit outside of 64-bit mode,
just like its AVX counterpart.
Many VEX-/EVEX-encoded instructions accessing GPRs become WIG outside of
64-bit mode. The respective templates should specify neither VexWIG nor
VexW0, but instead the setting of the bit should be determined from
- REX.W in 64-bit mode,
- the setting established through -mvexwig= / -mevexwig= otherwise.
This implies that the evex-wig2 testcase needs to go away, as being
wrong altogether.
A few test additions desirable here will only happen in later patches,
as the disassembler needs adjustments first.
Once again SSE2AVX templates are left alone, for it being unclear what
the behavior there should be.
Quite a few templates were marked LIG while really the insns aren't.
Introduce descriptive shorthands once again, instead of continuing to
use the less legible original forms.
The 0F C5 encoding is indeed a load type one (just that memory operands
are not permitted), while the 0F 3A 15 encoding is obviously a store.
Allow the pseudo prefixes to be used to select between them.
Also move (without any change) the secondary AVX512BW templates next to
the primary one.
Commits 6865c0435a ("x86: Support VEX/EVEX WIG encoding") and 6fa52824c3
("x86: Replace VexW=3 with VexWIG") omitted quite a few templates, oddly
enough in some cases despite testcases getting added (which then were
recorded with wrong expected output).
Also adjust VPMAXUB's attributes in the AVX512BW case to match ordering
of that of neighboring templates.
For the moment SSE2AVX templates are left alone, as it isn't clear
whether they were intentionally left untouched by the original commits
(the descriptions don't say either way).
In this context I question the decision in commit 0375113302 ("x86: Add
-mvexwig=[0|1] option to assembler") to move the logic to determine the
value of the W bit ahead of the decision whether to use 2-byte VEX:
While I can see this as one possible interpretation of -mvexwig=, the
other alternative (setting the value of the bit only if it actually
exists in the encoding) looks as reasonable to me, and perhaps even more
in line with us generally trying to pick the shortest encoding.
AVX "VMOVQ xmm1, xmm2/m64" and "VMOVQ xmm1/m64, xmm2" can only be
encoded with VEX.128. Set Vex=1 on VEX.128 only vmovq and update
assembler tests.

Just like other insns having byte and word forms, these can also make
use of the W modifier, which at the same time allows simplifying some
other code a little bit.
