[ Upstream commit 59162e0c11d7257cde15f907d19fefe26da66692 ]
The x86 instruction decoder is used not only for decoding kernel
instructions. It is also used by perf uprobes (user space probes) and by
perf tools Intel Processor Trace decoding. Consequently, it needs to
support instructions executed by user space also.
Opcode 0x68 PUSH instruction is currently defined as 64-bit operand size
only i.e. (d64). That was based on Intel SDM Opcode Map. However that is
contradicted by the Instruction Set Reference section for PUSH in the
same manual.
Remove 64-bit operand size only annotation from opcode 0x68 PUSH
instruction.
Example:
$ cat pushw.s
.global _start
.text
_start:
pushw $0x1234
mov $0x1,%eax # system call number (sys_exit)
int $0x80
$ as -o pushw.o pushw.s
$ ld -s -o pushw pushw.o
$ objdump -d pushw | tail -4
0000000000401000 <.text>:
401000: 66 68 34 12 pushw $0x1234
401004: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax
401009: cd 80 int $0x80
$ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./pushw
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data ]
Before:
$ perf script --insn-trace=disasm

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
