5358db0b0e scripts: add ARM support to decodecode
This patch adds support for decoding ARM oopses to scripts/decodecode.
The following things are handled:

 - ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables are respected.

 - The Code: in x86 oopses is in bytes, while it is in either words (4
   bytes) or halfwords for ARM.

 - Some versions of ARM objdump refuse to disassemble instructions
   generated by literal constants (".word 0x...").  The workaround is to
   strip the object file first.

 - The faulting instruction is marked (liked so) in ARM, but <like so>
   in x86.

 - ARM mnemonics may include characters such as [] which need to be
   escaped before being passed to sed for the "<- trapping instruction"
   substitution.

846442c8dd scripts: improve the decodecode script
kerneloops.org has been using an improved "decodecode" script,
specifically it has a special marker that shows which line in the assembly
the oops happened at, like this:

  20:	83 e0 03             	and    $0x3,%eax
  23:	09 d8                	or     %ebx,%eax
  25:	85 db                	test   %ebx,%ebx
  27:	89 02                	mov    %eax,(%edx)
  29:	74 0f                	je     0x3a
  2b:*	3b 73 04             	cmp    0x4(%ebx),%esi     <-- trapping instruction
  2e:	75 05                	jne    0x35
  30:	89 53 04             	mov    %edx,0x4(%ebx)
  33:	eb 07                	jmp    0x3c
  35:	89 53 08             	mov    %edx,0x8(%ebx)

this patch updates the kernel copy to also have this functionality.

fa220d89ad kbuild: minor scripts/decodecode update
Remove the tmp file when exiting.  Noticed by Arjan van de Ven.
Catch mktemp failure and exit with message.
Trap kill or other signals and exit cleanly.

dcecc6c700 doc/oops-tracing: add Code: decode info
Add info that the Code: bytes line contains <xy> or (wxyz) in some
architecture oops reports and what that means.

Add a script by Andi Kleen that reads the Code: line from an Oops report
file and generates assembly code from the hex bytes.
