No, it is saying that if the instruction is being executed for the first time (we can execute it multiple times if we reenter a repeated instruction after a userspace exit) we try to get at least one byte from RIP. Most of the time, do_insn_fetch_bytes will fetch 15 bytes which are the maximum length of an instruction.
Passing op_size == 1 matches this change in do_insn_fetch_bytes: - if (unlikely(size == 0)) + if (unlikely(size < op_size)) Paolo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
