[PATCH v1 00/19] x86/insn: Add an insn_decode() API

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

Hi,

here's v1 with the requested change to return -ENODATA on short input to
the decoder. The rest is as in the previous submission.

Only lightly tested.

Thx.

here's what I had in mind, finally split into proper patches. The final
goal is for all users of the decoder to simply call insn_decode() and
look at its retval. Simple.

As to amluto's question about detecting partial insns, see the diff
below.

Running that gives:

insn buffer:
0x48 0xcf 0x48 0x83 0x90 0x90 0x90 0x90 0x90 0x90 0x90 0x90 0x90 0x90 0x90 
supplied buf size: 15, ret 0
supplied buf size: 2, ret 0
supplied buf size: 3, ret 0
supplied buf size: 4, ret 0

and the return value is always success.

Which means that that buf_len that gets supplied to the decoder
functions doesn't really work and I need to look into it.

That is, provided this is how we want to control what the instruction
decoder decodes - by supplying the length of the buffer it should look
at.

We could also say that probably there should be a way to say "decode
only the first insn in the buffer and ignore the rest". That is all up
to the use cases so I'm looking for suggestions here.

In any case, at least the case where I give it

0x48 0xcf 0x48 0x83

and say that buf size is 4, should return an error because the second
insn is incomplete. So I need to go look at that now.

Thx.
