pad instructions and thus make using the alternatives macros more straightforward and without having to figure out old and new instruction sizes but have the toolchain figure that out for us. Furthermore, it optimizes JMPs used so that fetch and decode can be relieved with smaller versions of the JMPs, where possible. Some stats: x86_64 defconfig: Alternatives sites total: 2478 Total padding added (in Bytes): 6051 The padding is currently done for: X86_FEATURE_ALWAYS X86_FEATURE_ERMS X86_FEATURE_LFENCE_RDTSC X86_FEATURE_MFENCE_RDTSC X86_FEATURE_SMAP This is with the latest version of the patchset. Of course, on each machine the alternatives sites actually being patched are a proper subset of the total number. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAABAgAGBQJU9ekpAAoJEBLB8Bhh3lVKyjYP/AiHEiHkkjnpwTt49kUtUMI6 GIlGfJVNjp5LLnSRD/fkL/wdkBgQtMzr9O1g8Qi/lbFqxsOFteU9f1OtLx34ZwZw MhtdiHcrKGMsaIxTJh4FaqPHBT5ussm2yn1jlAX+LgILd3dpqe3oytsO8JihcK9j t2u9V/Lq92TV7zXxGgWJsPc86WhhgdldlU3X96S++Di18bnDaKbGkzthU6WzZG/H qtFZ5bfK8TlVHYduft+D9ZPzFYGp1WCOa03qU4+Djaxw02HDB6Ltysend9zg0lB1 RT/BP0PwHD3mOL11qpgtV1ChCbR8FJMN/z5+YdSNJgzDQA0H5Sf0UueTweosfAz+ /iC5t/wkegdYtqtA0nKVypYOJCS+UdfMZXenYgtSUJl6drB6I5BCW4mVft3AuWo+ EilPGpblvmjWRx1HiF4/Q/5zrSWHzmKQDyXuyxI9m0OUxAGAM0+8CY6wOqRA5pX+ /f5MjZ1hXELQGhl5Qdj4nqJacICGevJ8WYdZ53B+uYVxz7fbXk9hSYcZKT94UshD qSdaV4XJSuC7pDKqiWoNWXp5N1g+D2BgfwoQEr/RnodFZRlfc+cmOv/visak0OLr E/pp1vJvCi3+T3ImX1MCDiXmflQtFctiL3hNgMXYK2IGhJb2RDC2bFeZkksOHuAE BGgrn+usQDjVlikEnfI3 =0KXp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'alternatives_padding' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp into x86/asm Pull alternative instructions framework improvements from Borislav Petkov: "A more involved rework of the alternatives framework to be able to pad instructions and thus make using the alternatives macros more straightforward and without having to figure out old and new instruction sizes but have the toolchain figure that out for us.
