[PATCH 5.10 021/130] x86/alternatives: Optimize optimize_nops()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>

commit 23c1ad538f4f371bdb67d8a112314842d5db7e5a upstream.

Currently, optimize_nops() scans to see if the alternative starts with
NOPs. However, the emit pattern is:

  141:	\oldinstr
  142:	.skip (len-(142b-141b)), 0x90

That is, when 'oldinstr' is short, the tail is padded with NOPs. This case
never gets optimized.

Rewrite optimize_nops() to replace any trailing string of NOPs inside
the alternative to larger NOPs. Also run it irrespective of patching,
replacing NOPs in both the original and replaced code.

A direct consequence is that 'padlen' becomes superfluous, so remove it.

 [ bp:
   - Adjust commit message
   - remove a stale comment about needing to pad
   - add a comment in optimize_nops()
   - exit early if the NOP verif. loop catches a mismatch - function
     should not not add NOPs in that case
   - fix the "optimized NOPs" offsets output ]
