Here are the patches which update x86 instruction decoder build-time test.
As Stephen reported on linux-next, sometimes objdump decodes bad
instructions as normal. This will cause a false positive result on
x86 insn decoder test. This patches update the test as below;
- Show more information with V=1
- Show in which symbol the difference places.
- Just warning instead of build failure.
Thank you,
