From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@xxxxxxx> Subject: scripts/decodecode: fix decoding for AArch64 (arm64) instructions There are a couple of problems with the decodecode script and arm64: 1. AArch64 objdump refuses to disassemble .4byte directives as instructions, insisting that they are data values and displaying them as: a94153f3 .word 0xa94153f3 <-- trapping instruction This is resolved by using the .inst directive instead. 2. Disassembly of branch instructions attempts to provide the target as an offset from a symbol, e.g.: 0: 34000082 cbz w2, 10 <.text+0x10> however this falls foul of the grep -v, which matches lines containing ".text" and ends up removing all branch instructions from the dump. This patch resolves both issues by using the .inst directive for 4-byte quantities on arm64 and stripping the resulting binaries (as is done on arm already) to remove the mapping symbols.
