Subject: [RFC 11/13] objtool: Improve register reporting during function validation
Date: Fri,  6 Jun 2025 17:34:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250606153440.865808-12-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250606153440.865808-1-alexandre.chartre@oracle.com>

When tracing function validation, instruction state changes can
report changes involving registers. These registers are reported
with the name "r<num>" (e.g. "r3"). Print the CPU specific register
name instead of a generic name (e.g. print "rbx" instead of "r3"
on x86).
