[PATCH] scripts: add x86 register parser to markup_oops.pl

From: Arjan van de Ven
Date: Tue Jan 13 2009 - 00:50:35 EST


An oops dump also contains the register values.
This patch parses these for (32 bit) x86, and then annotates the
disassembly with these values; this helps in analysis of the oops
by the developer, for example, NULL pointer or other pointer bugs
show up clearly this way.
