Subject[PATCH v2 10/15] x86/lib/clear_page_64.S: Convert to ALTERNATIVE_2 macro
Date
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

Move clear_page() up so that we can get 2-byte forward JMPs when
patching:

apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+16, old: (ffffffff8130adb0, len: 5), repl: (ffffffff81d0b859, len: 5)
ffffffff8130adb0: alt_insn: 90 90 90 90 90
recompute_jump: new_displ: 0x0000003e
ffffffff81d0b859: rpl_insn: eb 3e 66 66 90

even though the compiler generated 5-byte JMPs which we padded with 5
NOPs.

Also, make the REP_GOOD version be the default as the majority of
machines set REP_GOOD. This way we get to save ourselves the JMP:

old insn VA: 0xffffffff813038b0, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, size: 5, padlen: 0
clear_page:

ffffffff813038b0 <clear_page>:
ffffffff813038b0: e9 0b 00 00 00 jmpq ffffffff813038c0
repl insn: 0xffffffff81cf0e92, size: 0

old insn VA: 0xffffffff813038b0, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_ERMS, size: 5, padlen: 0
clear_page:

ffffffff813038b0 <clear_page>:
ffffffff813038b0: e9 0b 00 00 00 jmpq ffffffff813038c0
repl insn: 0xffffffff81cf0e92, size: 5
ffffffff81cf0e92: e9 69 2a 61 ff jmpq ffffffff81303900

ffffffff813038b0 <clear_page>:
ffffffff813038b0: e9 69 2a 61 ff jmpq ffffffff8091631e
