Subject: [PATCH 0/2] *** Fix reformat_objdump.awk ***

These are two small patches which originally dealt with
the problem found at:

https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1364

The original steps to reproduce were:
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 defconfig
$ scripts/config -e X86_DECODER_SELFTEST
$ make -skj"$(nproc)" LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 olddefconfig bzImage

Which resulted in the error:
arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: objdump says 0 bytes, but
insn_get_length() says 2

Upon inspection it turned out llvm-objdump was formatting its
output differently, which caused objdump_reformat.awk to incorrectly
output its values.

After fixing that bug, a second one was seen where the instruction
"wait" was incorrectly matched with "fwait", which again caused
insn_decoder_test to fail.

Samuel Zeter (2):
  arch/x86/tools/objdump_reformat.awk: Ensure regex matches fwait
  arch/x86/tools/objdump_reformat.awk: Allow for spaces
