      x86/mpx, x86/insn: Relocate insn util functions to a new insn-eval file · 32542ee2
      Ricardo Neri 提交于
      Other kernel submodules can benefit from using the utility functions
      defined in mpx.c to obtain the addresses and values of operands contained
      in the general purpose registers. An instance of this is the emulation code
      used for instructions protected by the Intel User-Mode Instruction
      Prevention feature.
      
      Thus, these functions are relocated to a new insn-eval.c file. The reason
      to not relocate these utilities into insn.c is that the latter solely
      analyses instructions given by a struct insn without any knowledge of the
      meaning of the values of instruction operands. This new utility insn-
      eval.c aims to be used to resolve userspace linear addresses based on
      the contents of the instruction operands as well as the contents of pt_regs
      structure.
      
      These utilities come with a separate header. This is to avoid taking insn.c
      out of sync from the instructions decoders under tools/obj and tools/perf.
      This also avoids adding cumbersome #ifdef's for the #include'd files
      required to decode instructions in a kernel context.
      
      Functions are simply relocated. There are not functional or indentation
      changes.
