Although the previous commit made the powerpc instruction dump usable with scripts/decodecode, there are still some problems.
Because the dump is split across multiple lines, the script doesn't cope with printk timestamps or caller info. That can be fixed by printing the entire dump on one line, eg: [ 12.016307][ T112] --- interrupt: c00 [ 12.016605][ T112] Code: 4b7aae15 60000000 3d22016e 3c62ffec 39291160 38639bc0 e8890000 4b7aadf9 60000000 4bfffee8 7c0802a6 60000000 <0fe00000> 60420000 3c4c008f 384268a0 [ 12.017655][ T112] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- That output can then be piped directly into scripts/decodecode and interpreted correctly. Printing the dump on a single line does produce a very long line, about 173 characters. That is still shorter than x86, which prints nearly 200 characters even without timestamps etc. All consoles I'm aware of will wrap the line if it's too long, so the length should not be a functional problem. If anything it should help on consoles like VGA by using less vertical space.
