Message-ID: <20240331180042.13933-2-bp@alien8.de>
Date: Sun, 31 Mar 2024 20:00:39 +0200

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] x86/alternatives: Use a temporary buffer when optimizing NOPs
From: "Borislav Petkov (AMD)" <bp@...en8.de>
Instead of optimizing NOPs in-place, use a temporary buffer like the
usual alternatives patching flow does. This obviates the need to grab
locks when patching, see
6778977590da ("x86/alternatives: Disable interrupts and sync when optimizing NOPs in place")
While at it, add nomenclature definitions clarifying and simplifying the
naming of function-local variables in the alternatives code.
