Section 2.2.1.2 of the Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual volume 2A states that when ModRM.mod !=11b and ModRM.rm = 100b indexed register-indirect addressing is used. In other words, a SIB byte follows the ModRM byte. In the specific case of SIB.index = 100b, the scale*index portion of the computation of the effective address is null. To signal callers of this particular situation, get_reg_offset() can return -EDOM (-EINVAL continues to indicate that an error when decoding the SIB byte). An example of this situation can be the following instruction: 8b 4c 23 80 mov -0x80(%rbx,%riz,1),%rcx ModRM: 0x4c [mod:1b][reg:1b][rm:100b] SIB: 0x23 [scale:0b][index:100b][base:11b] Displacement: 0x80 (1-byte, as per ModRM.mod = 1b) The %riz 'register' indicates a null index. In long mode, a REX prefix may be used. When a REX prefix is present, REX.X adds a fourth bit to the register selection of SIB.index. This gives the ability to refer to all the 16 general purpose registers. When REX.X is 1b and SIB.index is 100b, the index is indicated in %r12. In our example, this would look like: 42 8b 4c 23 80 mov -0x80(%rbx,%r12,1),%rcx REX: 0x42 [W:0b][R:0b][X:1b][B:0b] ModRM: 0x4c [mod:1b][reg:1b][rm:100b] SIB: 0x23 [scale:0b][.X: 1b, index:100b][.B:0b, base:11b] Displacement: 0x80 (1-byte, as per ModRM.mod = 1b) %r12 is a valid register to use in the scale*index part of the effective address computation.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
