Valgrind, ppc: Fix missing checks for 64-bit instructions operating in 32-bit mode, Bugzilla 308573
A number of the POWER instructions are only intended to run on 64-bit
hardware. These instructions will give a SIGILL instruction on 32-bit
hardware. The check for 32-bit mode on some of these instructions is
missing. Although, the 64-bit hardware will execute these instructions
on 64-bit hardware without generating a SIGILL the use of these
instructions in 32-bit mode on 64-bit hardware is typically indicative of
a programming error. There are cases where these instructions are used
to determine if the code is running on 32-bit hardware or not. In these
cases, the instruction needs to generate a SIGILL for the error handler
to properly determine the hardware is running in 32-bit mode.
This patch adds the 32-bit mode check for those 64-bit instructions that
do not have the check. If the check fails, the instruction is flagged
as an unsupported instruction and a SIGILL message is generated.
This patch fixes the bug reported in:
Bug 308573 - Internal Valgrind error on 64-bit instruction executed in
32-bit mode
Note, there is an accompaning fix to memcheck/tests/ppc32/power_ISA2_05.c
to only execute the 64-bit instruction prtyd test in 64-bit mode.
