From 8b27386a9ce9c7f0f8702cff7565a46802ad57d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anders Kaseorg Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2008 22:19:08 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: make ftrace_test_p6nop disassembler-friendly Commit 4c3dc21b136f8cb4b72afee16c3ba7e961656c0b in tip introduced the 5-byte NOP ftrace_test_p6nop: jmp . + 5 .byte 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 This is not friendly to disassemblers because an odd number of 0x00s ends in the middle of an instruction boundary. This changes the 0x00s to 1-byte NOPs (0x90).
