Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) extends the EVEX prefix to support: - extended general purpose registers (EGPRs) i.e. r16 to r31 - Push-Pop Acceleration (PPX) hints - new data destination (NDD) register - suppress status flags writes (NF) of common instructions - new instructions Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture Specification for details. The extended EVEX prefix does not need amended instruction decoder logic, except in one area. Some instructions are defined as SCALABLE which means the EVEX.W bit and EVEX.pp bits are used to determine operand size. Specifically, if an instruction is SCALABLE and EVEX.W is zero, then EVEX.pp value 0 (representing no prefix NP) means default operand size, whereas EVEX.pp value 1 (representing 66 prefix) means operand size override i.e. 16 bits Add an attribute (INAT_EVEX_SCALABLE) to identify such instructions, and amend the logic appropriately. Amend the awk script that generates the attribute tables from the opcode map, to recognise "(es)" as attribute INAT_EVEX_SCALABLE.
