x86/tools: insn_decoder_test.c: Emit standard build success messages

2025-07-14T15:04:38Z

The standard 'success' output of insn_decoder_test spams build logs with: arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: success: Decoded and checked 8258521 instructions Prefix the message with the standard ' ' (two spaces) used by kbuild to denote regular build messages, making it easier for tools to filter out warnings and errors.

x86/tools: Drop duplicate unlikely() definition in insn_decoder_test.c

2025-03-28T21:57:44Z

After commit c104c16073b7 ("Kunit to check the longest symbol length"), there is a warning when building with clang because there is now a definition of unlikely from compiler.h in tools/include/linux, which conflicts with the one in the instruction decoder selftest: arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test.c:15:9: warning: 'unlikely' macro redefined [-Wmacro-redefined] Remove the second unlikely() definition, as it is no longer necessary, clearing up the warning.

Kunit to check the longest symbol length

2025-03-16T00:13:31Z

The longest length of a symbol (KSYM_NAME_LEN) was increased to 512 in the reference [1]. This patch adds kunit test suite to check the longest symbol length. These tests verify that the longest symbol length defined is supported. This test can also help other efforts for longer symbol length, like [2]. The test suite defines one symbol with the longest possible length. The first test verify that functions with names of the created symbol, can be called or not. The second test, verify that the symbols are created (or not) in the kernel symbol table.

x86/paravirt: Standardize 'insn_buff' variable names

2019-04-29T14:05:49Z

We currently have 6 (!) separate naming variants to name temporary instruction buffers that are used for code patching: - insnbuf - insnbuff - insn_buff - insn_buffer - ibuf - ibuffer These are used as local variables, percpu fields and function parameters. Standardize all the names to a single variant: 'insn_buff'. Cc: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Borislav Petkov Cc: Brian Gerst Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Denys Vlasenko Cc: H.
