Adrian Hunter a6ea1142de perf/tests: Add misc instructions to the x86 instruction decoder test
The x86 instruction decoder is used for both kernel instructions and
user space instructions (e.g. uprobes, perf tools Intel PT), so it is
good to update it with new instructions.

Add the following instructions to the x86 instruction decoder test:

	User Interrupt

		clui
		senduipi
		stui
		testui
		uiret

	Prediction history reset

		hreset

	Serialize instruction execution

		serialize

	TSX suspend load address tracking

		xresldtrk
		xsusldtrk

A subsequent patch adds the instructions to the instruction decoder.

Example:

  $ perf test -v "x86 instruction decoder" |& grep -i hreset
  Failed to decode length (4 vs expected 6): f3 0f 3a f0 c0 00    	hreset $0x0
  Failed to decode length (4 vs expected 6): f3 0f 3a f0 c0 00    	hreset $0x0

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.
