While trying to get a Silicon Motion SM722 video controller
working with Solaris, I have discovered a problem with the
emulation of the SHLD and SHRD (double precision shift)
instructions of the x86 emulator.
According to the Intel Pentium User Guide Vol 3, these
instructions can shift upto 31 bits with both 16 and 32
bit operands. The emulator code will only work with shifts
of upto 15 bits for 16 bit operands.
The pseudo-code for those instructions in that same document also say that, when the shift count is greater than or equal to the operand size, the contents of the destination register and the flags are undefined. Thus, there is technically nothing wrong with the emulator code as-is. Your patch is right, but the existing code is also right.
