Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.

The kbuild test robot reported this build warning: Warning: arch/x86/tools/test_get_len found difference at <jump_table>:ffffffff8103dd2c Warning: ffffffff8103dd82: f6 09 d8 testb $0xd8,(%rcx) Warning: objdump says 3 bytes, but insn_get_length() says 2 Warning: decoded and checked 1569014 instructions with 1 warnings This sequence seems to be a new instruction not in the opcode map in the Intel SDM. The instruction sequence is "F6 09 d8", means Group3(F6), MOD(00)REG(001)RM(001), and 0xd8. Intel SDM vol2 A.4 Table A-6 said the table index in the group is "Encoding of Bits 5,4,3 of the ModR/M Byte (bits 2,1,0 in parenthesis)" In that table, opcodes listed by the index REG bits as: 000 001 010 011 100 101 110 111 TEST Ib/Iz,(undefined),NOT,NEG,MUL AL/rAX,IMUL AL/rAX,DIV AL/rAX,IDIV AL/rAX So, it seems TEST Ib is assigned to 001. Add the new pattern. Reported-by:kbuild test robot <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by:
