Will Deacon be9fa663d3 scripts/decodecode: fix decoding for AArch64 (arm64) instructions
There are a couple of problems with the decodecode script and arm64:

1. AArch64 objdump refuses to disassemble .4byte directives as instructions,
   insisting that they are data values and displaying them as:

	a94153f3	.word	0xa94153f3		<-- trapping instruction

   This is resolved by using the .inst directive instead.

2. Disassembly of branch instructions attempts to provide the target as
   an offset from a symbol, e.g.:

   0:	34000082	cbz	w2, 10 <.text+0x10>

  however this falls foul of the grep -v, which matches lines containing
  ".text" and ends up removing all branch instructions from the dump.

This patch resolves both issues by using the .inst directive for 4-byte
quantities on arm64 and stripping the resulting binaries (as is done on
arm already) to remove the mapping symbols.

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.
