Hi all, I have noticed that the decoding part in ARM/A32 does not verify the opcodes for SWP instructions. The opcode field ([23:20]) for SWP instructions should be 0 or 4, and QEMU does not check against these values.
Other opcode values less than 8 are Undefined within the encoding space of sychronization primitives (e.g., SWP, LDREX*). See section A5.2.10 of ARMv7-A manual for reference. Because of the missing opcode check, QEMU happily executes these Undefined cases as a SWP instruction. The following fix adds proper opcode checks before assuming a valid SWP.
