Subject: [PATCH 4.14 43/80] s390: enable CPU alternatives unconditionally
4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@...ibm.com>
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>
[ Upstream commit 049a2c2d486e8cc82c5cd79fa479c5b105b109e9 ]
Remove the CPU_ALTERNATIVES config option and enable the code
unconditionally. The config option was only added to avoid a conflict
with the named saved segment support. Since that code is gone there is
no reason to keep the CPU_ALTERNATIVES config option.
Just enable it unconditionally to also reduce the number of config
options and make it less likely that something breaks.

- When enabled the kernel code is compiled with additional
- alternative instructions blocks optimized for newer CPU types.
- These alternative instructions blocks are patched at kernel boot
- time when running CPU supports them. This mechanism is used to
- optimize some critical code paths (i.e. spinlocks) for newer CPUs
- even if kernel is build to support older machine generations.
-
- This mechanism could be disabled by appending "noaltinstr"
- option to the kernel command line.
