Subject: [PATCH RESEND v2 0/7] x86/alternatives: Support for automatic padding calculations
Date: Mon, 26 Feb 2018 11:34:57 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1519644904-11349-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

[ Resend properly numbered this time. ]

This is the end result of a lot of work I started during the Spectre/Meltdown
embargo window, and deferred because it was taking too long.  It finally
resolves the explict padding calculations for the SPEC_CTRL alternatives.

This series depends on Roger's "x86/clang: allow integrated assembler usage"
and has been tested with a mainline version of clang.

Andrew Cooper (7):
  x86/alt: Drop unused alternative infrastructure
  x86/alt: Clean up struct alt_instr and its users
  x86/alt: Clean up the assembly used to generate alternatives
  x86/asm: Remove opencoded uses of altinstruction_entry
  x86/alt: Support for automatic padding calculations
  x86/alt: Drop explicit padding of origin sites
  x86/build: Use new .nop directive when available
