I'm not sure, although I don't know how .inst works for architectures with variable-length instructions and I *guess* the disassembly is less fussy about data vs text for those targets. > > This patch resolves both issues by using the .inst directive for 4-byte > > quantities on arm64 and stripping the resulting binaries (as is done on > > arm already) to remove the mapping symbols. > > > > Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> > > > > --- > > scripts/decodecode | 8 ++++++++ > > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) > > > > diff --git a/scripts/decodecode b/scripts/decodecode > > index d8824f37acce..67214ec5b2cb 100755 > > --- a/scripts/decodecode > > +++ b/scripts/decodecode > > @@ -58,6 +58,14 @@ disas() { > > ${CROSS_COMPILE}strip $1.o > > fi > > > > + if [ "$ARCH" = "arm64" ]; then > > + if [ $width -eq 4 ]; then > > + type=inst > > Can we merge with arm here, or does arm still support toolchains that > don't have .inst? Anyway, no big deal. I thought we still supported those, so I'd be reluctant to merge the clauses unless it's broken (the script works as-is for me with arm). I'm also not sure what we should do for 16-bit Thumb-2 encodings, where we have inst.n and inst.w to contend with. > > + fi > > + > > + ${CROSS_COMPILE}strip $1.o > > + fi > > + > > ${CROSS_COMPILE}objdump $OBJDUMPFLAGS -S $1.o | \ > > grep -v "/tmp\|Disassembly\|\.text\|^$" > $1.dis 2>&1 > > FWIW, > > Reviewed-by: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com> Thanks!

I rather meant the target disassembly for relative branches in the absence of labels. Anyway, I think this is at least harmless to other arches, and possibly helpful to them (if they disassemble those branch targets in the same sort of way). > > > This patch resolves both issues by using the .inst directive for 4-byte > > > quantities on arm64 and stripping the resulting binaries (as is done on > > > arm already) to remove the mapping symbols. > > > > > > Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> > > > > > > --- > > > scripts/decodecode | 8 ++++++++ > > > 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) > > > > > > diff --git a/scripts/decodecode b/scripts/decodecode > > > index d8824f37acce..67214ec5b2cb 100755 > > > --- a/scripts/decodecode > > > +++ b/scripts/decodecode > > > @@ -58,6 +58,14 @@ disas() { > > > ${CROSS_COMPILE}strip $1.o > > > fi > > > > > > + if [ "$ARCH" = "arm64" ]; then > > > + if [ $width -eq 4 ]; then > > > + type=inst > > > > Can we merge with arm here, or does arm still support toolchains that > > don't have .inst?

There are a couple of problems with the decodecode script and arm64: 1. AArch64 objdump refuses to disassemble .4byte directives as instructions, insisting that they are data values and displaying them as: a94153f3 .word 0xa94153f3 <-- trapping instruction This is resolved by using the .inst directive instead. 2. Disassembly of branch instructions attempts to provide the target as an offset from a symbol, e.g.: 0: 34000082 cbz w2, 10 <.text+0x10> however this falls foul of the grep -v, which matches lines containing ".text" and ends up removing all branch instructions from the dump. This patch resolves both issues by using the .inst directive for 4-byte quantities on arm64 and stripping the resulting binaries (as is done on arm already) to remove the mapping symbols.
