Peter Anvin" , Ingo Molnar , lkml , systemtap , DLE List-Id: linux-next.vger.kernel.org Here are the patches which update x86 instruction decoder build-time test. As Stephen reported on linux-next, sometimes objdump decodes bad instructions as normal. This will cause a false positive result on x86 insn decoder test. This patches update the test as below; - Show more information with V=1 - Show in which symbol the difference places. - Just warning instead of build failure.
