Instead of making increasingly complicated ALTERNATIVE_n() implementations, use a nested alternative expression. The only difference between: ALTERNATIVE_2(oldinst, newinst1, flag1, newinst2, flag2) and ALTERNATIVE(ALTERNATIVE(oldinst, newinst1, flag1), newinst2, flag2) is that the outer alternative can add additional padding when the inner alternative is the shorter one, which then results in alt_instr::instrlen being inconsistent. However, this is easily remedied since the alt_instr entries will be consecutive and it is trivial to compute the max(alt_instr::instrlen) at runtime while patching. Specifically, after this the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro, after CPP expansion (and manual layout), looks like this: .macro ALTERNATIVE_2 oldinstr, newinstr1, ft_flags1, newinstr2, ft_flags2 740: 740: \oldinstr ; 741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ; 742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ; altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags1,742b-740b,744f-743f ; .popsection ; .pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ; 743: \newinstr1 ; 744: .popsection ; ; 741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ; 742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ; altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags2,742b-740b,744f-743f ; .popsection ; .pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ; 743: \newinstr2 ; 744: .popsection ; .endm The only label that is ambiguous is 740, however they all reference the same spot, so that doesn't matter. NOTE: obviously only @oldinstr may be an alternative; making @newinstr an alternative would mean patching .altinstr_replacement which very likely isn't what is intended, also the labels will be confused in that case. [ bp: Debug an issue where it would match the wrong two insns and and consider them nested due to the same signed offsets in the .alternative section and use instr_va() to compare the full virtual addresses instead. - Use new labels to denote that the new, nested alternatives are being used when staring at preprocessed output. - Use the %c constraint everywhere instead of %P and document the difference for future reference. ] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Co-developed-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) <bp@alien8.de> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230628104952.GA2439977@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net
