Ricardo Neri 32542ee295 x86/mpx, x86/insn: Relocate insn util functions to a new insn-eval file
Other kernel submodules can benefit from using the utility functions
defined in mpx.c to obtain the addresses and values of operands contained
in the general purpose registers. An instance of this is the emulation code
used for instructions protected by the Intel User-Mode Instruction
Prevention feature.

Thus, these functions are relocated to a new insn-eval.c file. The reason
to not relocate these utilities into insn.c is that the latter solely
analyses instructions given by a struct insn without any knowledge of the
meaning of the values of instruction operands. This new utility insn-
eval.c aims to be used to resolve userspace linear addresses based on
the contents of the instruction operands as well as the contents of pt_regs
structure.

These utilities come with a separate header. This is to avoid taking insn.c
out of sync from the instructions decoders under tools/obj and tools/perf.
This also avoids adding cumbersome #ifdef's for the #include'd files
required to decode instructions in a kernel context.

Functions are simply relocated. There are not functional or indentation
changes.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
