Peter Anvin <hpa@...ux.intel.com> AuthorDate: Wed, 9 Jun 2010 16:03:09 -0700 Committer: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@...ux.intel.com> CommitDate: Wed, 9 Jun 2010 16:03:09 -0700 x86, alternatives: Use 16-bit numbers for cpufeature index We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number for the alternatives index. This consumes a padding field and so doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to create assembly errors on overflow no longer works. We can retain the test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however. Signed-off-by: H.
