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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
