When running the instruction decoder selftest with LLVM=1 and
CONFIG_PVH=y, there is a series of warnings:
arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: Found an x86 instruction decoder bug, please report this.
arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: ffffffff81000050 ea <unknown>
arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: objdump says 1 bytes, but insn_get_length() says 7
arch/x86/tools/insn_decoder_test: warning: Decoded and checked 7214721 instructions with 1 failures
GNU objdump outputs "(bad)" instead of "<unknown>", which is already
handled in the bad_expr regex, so there is no warning.
$ objdump -d arch/x86/platform/pvh/head.o | grep -E '50:\s+ea'
50: ea (bad)
$ llvm-objdump -d arch/x86/platform/pvh/head.o | grep -E '50:\s+ea'
50: ea <unknown>
Add "<unknown>" to the bad_expr regex to clear up the warning, allowing
the instruction decoder selftest to fully pass with llvm-objdump.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
