109 Certain Reverse REP MOVS May Produce Unpredictable Behavior

Description

In certain situations a REP MOVS instruction may lead to incorrect results. An
incorrect address size, data size or source operand segment may be used or a
succeeding instruction may be skipped. This may occur under the following
conditions:

EFLAGS.DF=1 (the string is being moved in the reverse direction).

The number of items being moved (RCX) is between 1 and 20.

The REP MOVS instruction is preceded by some microcoded instruction that has not
completely retired by the time the REP MOVS begins execution. The set of such
instructions includes BOUND, CLI, LDS, LES, LFS, LGS, LSS, IDIV, and most
microcoded x87 instructions.

Potential Effect on System

Incorrect results may be produced or the system may hang.

Suggested Workaround

Contact your AMD representative for information on a BIOS update.

Fix Planned

Yes

Potential Effect on System

rate) HyperTransport specifications. There are no known failures related to this
problem.

Suggested Workaround
