In commit 2e044911be75 ("x86/traps: Decode 0xEA instructions as #UD")
FineIBT starts using 0xEA as an invalid instruction like UD2. But
insn decoder always returns the length of "0xea" instruction as 7
because it does not check the (i64) superscript.
The x86 instruction decoder should also decode 0xEA on x86-64 as
a one-byte invalid instruction by decoding the "(i64)" superscript tag.
This stops decoding instruction which has (i64) but does not have (o64)
superscript in 64-bit mode at opcode and skips other fields.
With this change, insn_decoder_test says 0xea is 1 byte length if
x86-64 (-y option means 64-bit):
$ printf "0:\tea\t\n" | insn_decoder_test -y -v
insn_decoder_test: success: Decoded and checked 1 instructions

Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) extends the EVEX prefix to
support:
- extended general purpose registers (EGPRs) i.e. r16 to r31
- Push-Pop Acceleration (PPX) hints
- new data destination (NDD) register
- suppress status flags writes (NF) of common instructions
- new instructions
Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture
Specification for details.
The extended EVEX prefix does not need amended instruction decoder logic,
except in one area. Some instructions are defined as SCALABLE which means
the EVEX.W bit and EVEX.pp bits are used to determine operand size.
Specifically, if an instruction is SCALABLE and EVEX.W is zero, then
EVEX.pp value 0 (representing no prefix NP) means default operand size,
whereas EVEX.pp value 1 (representing 66 prefix) means operand size
override i.e. 16 bits
Add an attribute (INAT_EVEX_SCALABLE) to identify such instructions, and
amend the logic appropriately.
Amend the awk script that generates the attribute tables from the opcode
map, to recognise "(es)" as attribute INAT_EVEX_SCALABLE.

Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (APX) uses a new 2-byte prefix named
REX2 to select extended general purpose registers (EGPRs) i.e. r16 to r31.
The REX2 prefix is effectively an extended version of the REX prefix.
REX2 and EVEX are also used with PUSH/POP instructions to provide a
Push-Pop Acceleration (PPX) hint. With PPX hints, a CPU will attempt to
fast-forward register data between matching PUSH and POP instructions.
REX2 is valid only with opcodes in maps 0 and 1. Similar extension for
other maps is provided by the EVEX prefix, covered in a separate patch.
Some opcodes in maps 0 and 1 are reserved under REX2. One of these is used
for a new 64-bit absolute direct jump instruction JMPABS.
Refer to the Intel Advanced Performance Extensions (Intel APX) Architecture
Specification for details.
Define a code value for the REX2 prefix (INAT_PFX_REX2), and add attribute
flags for opcodes reserved under REX2 (INAT_NO_REX2) and to identify
opcodes (only JMPABS) that require a mandatory REX2 prefix
(INAT_REX2_VARIANT).
Amend logic to read the REX2 prefix and get the opcode attribute for the
map number (0 or 1) encoded in the REX2 prefix.
Amend the awk script that generates the attribute tables from the opcode
map, to recognise "REX2" as attribute INAT_PFX_REX2, and "(!REX2)"
as attribute INAT_NO_REX2, and "(REX2)" as attribute INAT_REX2_VARIANT.

Add an explicit __ignore_sync_check__ marker which will be used to mark
lines which are supposed to be ignored by file synchronization check
scripts, its advantage being that it explicitly denotes such lines in
the code.

Now that there's a common version of the decoder for all tools, use it
instead of the local copy.
Also use perf's check-headers.sh script to diff the decoder files to
make sure they remain in sync with the kernel version. Objtool has a
similar check.
Committer notes:
Had to keep this all pointing explicitely to x86 headers/files, i.e.
instead of asm/isnn.h we had to use ../include/asm/insn.h when the files
were in differemt dirs, or just replace "<asm/foo.h>" with "foo.h".
This way we continue to be able to process perf.data files with Intel PT
traces in distros other than x86.
Also fixed up the awk script paths to use $(srcdir)/tools/arch instead
or relative directories so that we keep detached tarballs (make help |
grep perf) working.
For now the include lines in these headers are being ignored so as not
to flag false reports of kernel/tools out of sync.

The kernel tree has three identical copies of the x86 instruction
decoder. Two of them are in the tools subdir.
The tools subdir is supposed to be completely standalone and separate
from the kernel. So having at least one copy of the kernel decoder in
the tools subdir is unavoidable. However, we don't need *two* of them.
Move objtool's copy of the decoder to a shared location, so that perf
will also be able to use it.
