2011-11-10	x86, perf: Add a build-time sanity test to the x86 decoder	Masami Hiramatsu
	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.

2010-03-10	x86: Move MAX_INSN_SIZE into asm/insn.h	Peter Zijlstra
	Since there's now two users for this, place it in a common header.

2009-10-29	x86: AVX instruction set decoder support	Masami Hiramatsu
	Add Intel AVX(Advanced Vector Extensions) instruction set support to x86 instruction decoder. This adds insn.vex_prefix field for storing VEX prefixes, and introduces some original tags for expressing opcodes attributes.

2009-08-27	x86: Instruction decoder API	Masami Hiramatsu
	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.
