From ca0e9badd1a39fecdd235f4bf1481b9da756e27b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:34:21 -0400 Subject: x86: X86 instruction decoder build-time selftest MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add a user-space selftest of x86 instruction decoder at kernel build time. When CONFIG_X86_DECODER_SELFTEST=y, Kbuild builds a test harness of x86 instruction decoder and performs it after building vmlinux. The test compares the results of objdump and x86 instruction decoder code and check there are no differences.
