2013-01-24	arch/x86/tools/insn_sanity.c: Identify source of messages	Andrew Morton	1	-2/+8
	The kernel build prints: Building modules, stage 2. TEST posttest MODPOST 3821 modules TEST posttest Success: decoded and checked 1000000 random instructions with 0 errors (seed:0xaac4bc47) CC arch/x86/boot/a20.o CC arch/x86/boot/cmdline.o AS arch/x86/boot/copy.o HOSTCC arch/x86/boot/mkcpustr CC arch/x86/boot/cpucheck.o CC arch/x86/boot/early_serial_console.o which is irritating because you don't know what program is proudly pronouncing its success. So, as described in "console mode programming user interface guidelines version 101" which doesn't exist, change this program to identify the source of its messages.

2011-12-05	x86/tools: Add decoded instruction dump mode	Masami Hiramatsu	1	-3/+4
	Add instruction dump mode to insn_sanity tool for checking decoder really decoded instructions. This mode is enabled when passing double -v (-vv) to insn_sanity. It is useful for who wants to check whether the decoder can decode some instructions correctly. e.g. $ echo 0f 73 10 11 \| ./insn_sanity -y -vv -i - Instruction = { .prefixes = { .value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0}, .got = 1, .nbytes = 0}, .rex_prefix = { .value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0}, .got = 1, .nbytes = 0}, .vex_prefix = { .value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0}, .got = 1, .nbytes = 0}, .opcode = { .value = 29455, bytes[] = {f, 73, 0, 0}, .got = 1, .nbytes = 2}, .modrm = { .value = 16, bytes[] = {10, 0, 0, 0}, .got = 1, .nbytes = 1}, .sib = { .value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0}, .got = 1, .nbytes = 0}, .displacement = { .value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0}, .got = 1, .nbytes = 0}, .immediate1 = { .value = 17, bytes[] = {11, 0, 0, 0}, .got = 1, .nbytes = 1}, .immediate2 = { .value = 0, bytes[] = {0, 0, 0, 0}, .got = 0, .nbytes = 0}, .attr = 44800, .opnd_bytes = 4, .addr_bytes = 8, .length = 4, .x86_64 = 1, .kaddr = 0x7fff0f7d9430} Success: decoded and checked 1 given instructions with 0 errors (seed:0x0) Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: "H.

2011-12-05	x86/tools: Fix insn_sanity message outputs	Masami Hiramatsu	1	-2/+2
	Fix x86 instruction decoder test to dump all error messages to stderr and others to stdout. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: "H.

2011-12-05	x86/tools: Fix instruction decoder message output	Masami Hiramatsu	1	-4/+3
	Fix instruction decoder test (insn_sanity), so that it doesn't show both info and error messages twice on same instruction. (In that case, show only error message) Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: "H.

2011-11-10	x86, perf: Add a build-time sanity test to the x86 decoder	Masami Hiramatsu	1	-0/+275
	Add a sanity test of x86 insn decoder against a stream of randomly generated input, at build time. This test is also able to reproduce any bug that might trigger by allowing the passing of random-seed and iteration-number to the test, or by passing input which has invalid byte code. Changes in V2: - Code cleanup. - Show how to reproduce the error by insn_sanity test.
