scripts/decodecode: improve faulting line determination
There are cases where the IP pointer in a Code: line in an oops doesn't point at the beginning of an instruction: Code: 0f bd c2 e9 a0 cd b5 e4 48 0f bd c2 e9 97 cd b5 e4 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 \ e9 8b cd b5 e4 0f 1f 00 66 0f a3 d0 e9 7f cd b5 e4 0f 1f <80> 00 00 00 \ 00 0f a3 d0 e9 70 cd b5 e4 48 0f a3 d0 e9 67 cd b5 e9 7f cd b5 e4 jmp 0xffffffffe4b5cda8 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax) ^^ and the current way of determining the faulting instruction line doesn't work because disassembled instructions are counted from the IP byte to the end and when that thing points in the middle, the trailing bytes can be interpreted as different insns: Code starting with the faulting instruction =========================================== 0: 80 00 00 addb $0x0,(%rax) 3: 00 00 add %al,(%rax) whereas, this is part of 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax) 5: 0f a3 d0 bt %edx,%eax ... leading to: 1d: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%rax) 20: 66 0f a3 d0 bt %dx,%ax 24:* e9 7f cd b5 e4 jmp 0xffffffffe4b5cda8 <-- trapping instruction 29: 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax) 30: 0f a3 d0 bt %edx,%eax which is the wrong faulting instruction. Change the way the faulting line number is determined by matching the opcode bytes from the beginning, leading to correct output: 1d: 0f 1f 00 nopl (%rax) 20: 66 0f a3 d0 bt %dx,%ax 24: e9 7f cd b5 e4 jmp 0xffffffffe4b5cda8 29:* 0f 1f 80 00 00 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax) <-- trapping instruction 30: 0f a3 d0 bt %edx,%eax While at it, make decodecode use bash as the interpreter - that thing should be present on everything by now. It simplifies the code a lot too.
