[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/7] x86/alternatives: Support for automatic padding calculations

[Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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.

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
