If the instruction decoder test ran successful it prints a message like
this to stderr:
Succeed: decoded and checked 1767380 instructions
But, as described in "console mode programming user interface guidelines
version 101" which doesn't exist, programs should use stderr for errors
or warnings. We're told about a successful run here, so the instruction
decoder test should use stdout.
Let's fix the typo too, while we're at it.

The current x86 instruction decoder steps along through the
instruction stream but always ensures that it never steps farther
than the largest possible instruction size (MAX_INSN_SIZE).
The MPX code is now going to be doing some decoding of userspace
instructions. We copy those from userspace in to the kernel and
they're obviously completely untrusted coming from userspace. In
addition to the constraint that instructions can only be so long,
we also have to be aware of how long the buffer is that came in
from userspace. This _looks_ to be similar to what the perf and
kprobes is doing, but it's unclear to me whether they are
affected.
The whole reason we need this is that it is perfectly valid to be
executing an instruction within MAX_INSN_SIZE bytes of an
unreadable page. We should be able to gracefully handle short
reads in those cases.
This adds support to the decoder to record how long the buffer
being decoded is and to refuse to "validate" the instruction if
we would have gone over the end of the buffer to decode it.
The kprobes code probably needs to be looked at here a bit more
carefully. This patch still respects the MAX_INSN_SIZE limit
there but the kprobes code does look like it might be able to
be a bit more strict than it currently is.

Since some instructions are not decoded correctly by older
versions of objdump, it may cause false positive error in insn
decoder posttest.
This changes build error of insn decoder test to build warning.

Add a user-space selftest of x86 instruction decoder at kernel build
time.
When CONFIG_X86_DECODER_SELFTEST=y, Kbuild builds a test harness of x86
instruction decoder and performs it after building vmlinux.
The test compares the results of objdump and x86 instruction decoder
code and check there are no differences.
