Problem
For SBPFv2 onwards, we can use
mov32 reg, imm
to load and sign extend immediate values, without the pair hor64/mo32. This is particularly useful for numbers betweenu32::MAX >> 1
andu32::MAX
.Solution
Create a new instruction to represent a load with zero extend. Since it has the same opcode as all the other use cases for mov32, it needs a new decoder namespace, so that LLVM knows which instruction the opcode refers to when disassembling a file.
PS: In the disassembler, we do not care which of the defined
mov32 reg, imm
the instruction we are reading is assigned to. All of them have the same syntax and semantic.
