2010-02-02scripts: add ARM support to decodecodeRabin Vincent
This patch adds support for decoding ARM oopses to scripts/decodecode. The following things are handled: - ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables are respected. - The Code: in x86 oopses is in bytes, while it is in either words (4 bytes) or halfwords for ARM. - Some versions of ARM objdump refuse to disassemble instructions generated by literal constants (".word 0x..."). The workaround is to strip the object file first. - The faulting instruction is marked (liked so) in ARM, but <like so> in x86. - ARM mnemonics may include characters such as [] which need to be escaped before being passed to sed for the "<- trapping instruction" substitution.

2008-12-03scripts: improve the decodecode scriptArjan van de Ven
kerneloops.org has been using an improved "decodecode" script, specifically it has a special marker that shows which line in the assembly the oops happened at, like this: 20: 83 e0 03 and $0x3,%eax 23: 09 d8 or %ebx,%eax 25: 85 db test %ebx,%ebx 27: 89 02 mov %eax,(%edx) 29: 74 0f je 0x3a 2b:* 3b 73 04 cmp 0x4(%ebx),%esi <-- trapping instruction 2e: 75 05 jne 0x35 30: 89 53 04 mov %edx,0x4(%ebx) 33: eb 07 jmp 0x3c 35: 89 53 08 mov %edx,0x8(%ebx) this patch updates the kernel copy to also have this functionality.

2008-01-28kbuild: minor scripts/decodecode updateRandy Dunlap
Remove the tmp file when exiting. Noticed by Arjan van de Ven. Catch mktemp failure and exit with message. Trap kill or other signals and exit cleanly. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2007-07-16doc/oops-tracing: add Code: decode infoRandy Dunlap
Add info that the Code: bytes line contains <xy> or (wxyz) in some architecture oops reports and what that means. Add a script by Andi Kleen that reads the Code: line from an Oops report file and generates assembly code from the hex bytes.
