Subject: x86/insn-eval: Add utility function to identify string instructions
Git-commit: 536b815388f7f4d2a7cd1418939902fb037ea370
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
References: fate#325790
String instructions are special because, in protected mode, the linear
address is always obtained via the ES segment register in operands that
use the (E)DI register; the DS segment register in operands that use
the (E)SI register. Furthermore, segment override prefixes are ignored
when calculating a linear address involving the (E)DI register; segment
override prefixes can be used when calculating linear addresses involving
the (E)SI register.
It follows that linear addresses are calculated differently for the case of
string instructions. The purpose of this utility function is to identify
such instructions for callers to determine a linear address correctly.
Note that this function only identifies string instructions; it does not
determine what segment register to use in the address computation. That is
left to callers. A subsequent commmit introduces a function to determine
the segment register to use given the instruction, operands and
segment override prefixes.
