[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.10 07/16] objtool,x86: Teach decode about LOOP* instructions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 7a7621dfa417aa3715d2a3bd1bdd6cf5018274d0 ]

When 'discussing' control flow Masami mentioned the LOOP* instructions
and I realized objtool doesn't decode them properly.

As it turns out, these instructions are somewhat inefficient and as
such unlikely to be emitted by the compiler (a few vmlinux.o checks
can't find a single one) so this isn't critical, but still, best to
decode them properly.
