Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] x86/alternatives: Adjust all insn-relative fields
Date: Mon,  3 Aug 2026 08:20:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260803072006.9678-1-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

Alternatives have had a reasonably severe restriction since their
introduction.  This has been the source of several bugs, and several
inefficiencies particularly in the speculative safety paths.

https://gitlab.com/xen-project/hardware/xen-staging/-/pipelines/2724019865

v3:
 * Run through Gitlab CI.
 * Fix up Eclair issues, Clang issues, and older-binutils issues.

Andrew Cooper (5):
  x86/emul: Introduce x86_decode_lite()
  tests/x86: Introduce a userspace test harness for x86_decode_lite()
  x86/alternative: Walk all replacements during self tests
  x86/alternative: Relocate all insn-relative fields
  x86/spec-ctrl: Introduce and use DO_COND_BHB_SEQ
