Does it?
"callw 1f; 1:\n"
"rep; nop\n"
objdump:
66 e8 00 00 callw 485 <_init-0x3ffed3>
f3 90 pause
if we probe this "callw", we copy MAX_INSN_BYTES into auprobe->insn,
and after insn_get_length() (insn_complete() == T)
// this is correct
OPCODE1() == e8
// this all looks wrong
insn->length == 6
insn->immediate.value == -1863122944
insn->immediate.nbytes == 4
so it seems that lib/insn.c treats the next "pause" insn as the high
16 bits of address.
