Matt reported that scripts/decodecode doesn't work for the instruction dump in the powerpc oops output. Although there are scripts around that can decode it, it would be preferable if the standard in-tree script worked.
All other arches prefix the instruction dump with "Code:", and that's what the script looks for, so use that. The script then works as expected: $ CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu- ./scripts/decodecode Code: fbc1fff0 f821ffc1 7c7d1b78 7c9c2378 ebc30028 7fdff378 48000018 60000000 60000000 ebff0008 7c3ef840 41820048 <815f0060> e93f0000 5529077c 7d295378 ^D All code ======== 0: f0 ff c1 fb std r30,-16(r1) 4: c1 ff 21 f8 stdu r1,-64(r1) 8: 78 1b 7d 7c mr r29,r3 ... Note that the script doesn't cope well with printk timestamps or printk caller info.
