Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] x86/alternatives: Support for automatic padding calculations
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2018 15:51:29 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1520437896-29359-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)

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.

The only changes from v3 are in patches 5 and 7.

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 .nops directive when available
