So that's the arch/x86/lib/insn.c instruction length decoder that the kernel
uses
for kprobes et al - and the two versions already forked slightly:
-#include "inat.h"
-#include "insn.h"
+#include <asm/inat.h>
+#include <asm/insn.h>
it would be nice to add a diff check to the perf build, and (non-fatally) warn
during the build if the two versions depart from each other?
This will make sure the two versions are fully in sync in the long run as well.
( Alternatively we could perhaps also librarize it into tools/lib/, and teach
the
kernel build to pick that one up? )
Thanks,
Ingo
