# Usage ./$0 xen-syms
#
# When CET-IBT (Control-flow Enforcement Technology, Indirect Branch Tracking)
# is active, ENDBR instructions mark legal indirect branch targets in the
# .text section.
#
# However x86 is a variable length instruction set so the same byte pattern
# can exist embedded in other instructions, or crossing multiple instructions.
# This script searches .text for any problematic byte patterns which aren't
# legitimate ENDBR instructions.

# Pretty-print parameters a little for message
