[PATCH] x86/tools: objdump_reformat.awk: Skip bad instructions from llvm-objdump

From: Nathan Chancellor
Date: Tue Dec 05 2023 - 14:53:21 EST


When running the instruction decoder selftest with LLVM=1 +
CONFIG_PVH=y, there is a series of warnings:

arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: Found an x86 instruction decoder bug, please report this.
arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: ffffffff81000050 ea <unknown>
arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: objdump says 1 bytes, but insn_get_length() says 7
arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: Decoded and checked 7214721 instructions with 1 failures

GNU objdump outputs "(bad)" instead of "<unknown>", which is already
handled in the bad_expr regex, so there is no warning.

$ objdump -d arch/x86/platform/pvh/head.o | grep -E '50:\s+ea'
50: ea (bad)

$ llvm-objdump -d arch/x86/platform/pvh/head.o | grep -E '50:\s+ea'
50: ea <unknown>

Add "<unknown>" to the bad_expr regex to clear up the warning, allowing
the instruction decoder selftest to fully pass with llvm-objdump.
