      x86: Instruction decoder API · eb13296c
      Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
      Add x86 instruction decoder to arch-specific libraries. This decoder
      can decode x86 instructions used in kernel into prefix, opcode, modrm,
      sib, displacement and immediates. This can also show the length of
      instructions.
      
      This version introduces instruction attributes for decoding
      instructions.
      The instruction attribute tables are generated from the opcode map file
      (x86-opcode-map.txt) by the generator script(gen-insn-attr-x86.awk).
      
      Currently, the opcode maps are based on opcode maps in Intel(R) 64 and
      IA-32 Architectures Software Developers Manual Vol.2: Appendix.A,
      and consist of below two types of opcode tables.
      
      1-byte/2-bytes/3-bytes opcodes, which has 256 elements, are
      written as below;
      
       Table: table-name
       Referrer: escaped-name
       opcode: mnemonic|GrpXXX [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...]
        (or)
       opcode: escape # escaped-name
       EndTable
      
      Group opcodes, which has 8 elements, are written as below;
      
       GrpTable: GrpXXX
       reg:  mnemonic [operand1[,operand2...]] [(extra1)[,(extra2)...] [| 2nd-mnemonic ...]
       EndTable
      
      These opcode maps include a few SSE and FP opcodes (for setup), because
      those opcodes are used in the kernel.
