When the LBR data and the instructions in a binary do not match the loop printing instructions could get confused and print a long stream of bogus <bad> instructions. The problem was that if the instruction decoder cannot decode an instruction it ilen wasn't initialized, so the loop going through the basic block would continue with the previous value. Harden the code to avoid such problems: - Make sure ilen is always freshly initialized and is 0 for bad instructions. - Do not overrun the code buffer while printing instructions - Print a warning message if the final jump is not on an instruction boundary.

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.
