Pull x86 instruction alternatives updates from Borislav Petkov: - Up until now the Fast Short Rep Mov optimizations implied the presence of the ERMS CPUID flag. AMD decoupled them with a BIOS setting so decouple that dependency in the kernel code too - Teach the alternatives machinery to handle relocations - Make debug_alternative accept flags in order to see only that set of patching done one is interested in - Other fixes, cleanups and optimizations to the patching code * tag 'x86_alternatives_for_v6.5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/alternative: PAUSE is not a NOP x86/alternatives: Add cond_resched() to text_poke_bp_batch() x86/nospec: Shorten RESET_CALL_DEPTH x86/alternatives: Add longer 64-bit NOPs x86/alternatives: Fix section mismatch warnings x86/alternative: Optimize returns patching x86/alternative: Complicate optimize_nops() some more x86/alternative: Rewrite optimize_nops() some x86/lib/memmove: Decouple ERMS from FSRM x86/alternative: Support relocations in alternatives x86/alternative: Make debug-alternative selective
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
