The arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt file contains the line

af: SCAS/W/D/Q rAX,Xv


This is what the Intel manuals show, but it's not correct.  The 'X' stands for

Memory addressed by the DS:rSI register pair (for example, MOVS, CMPS,
OUTS, or LODS).


On the other hand 'Y' means (also see the ae byte entry for SCASB):

Memory addressed by the ES:rDI register pair (for example, MOVS, CMPS,
INS, STOS, or SCAS).


Hence the following patch should be applied:

I see, thanks for reporting :)

Could you add a comment line above the fix in x86-opcode-map.txt?
I just consider the case that someone may confuse the fix itself
is typo.

Thank you!

x86/kprobes: Fix typo transferred from Intel manual

The arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt file [used by the
kprobes instruction decoder] contains the line:

  af: SCAS/W/D/Q rAX,Xv

This is what the Intel manuals show, but it's not correct.
The 'X' stands for:

  Memory addressed by the DS:rSI register pair (for example, MOVS, CMPS, OUTS, or LODS).

On the other hand 'Y' means (also see the ae byte entry for
SCASB):

  Memory addressed by the ES:rDI register pair (for example, MOVS, CMPS, INS, STOS, or SCAS).
