Pull x86 alternatives updates from Borislav Petkov: "This is basically PeterZ's idea to nest the alternative macros to avoid the need to "spell out" the number of alternates in an ALTERNATIVE_n() macro and thus have an ever-increasing complexity in those definitions. For ease of bisection, the old macros are converted to the new, nested variants in a step-by-step manner so that in case an issue is encountered during testing, one can pinpoint the place where it fails easier. Because debugging alternatives is a serious pain" * tag 'x86_alternatives_for_v6.11_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/alternatives, kvm: Fix a couple of CALLs without a frame pointer x86/alternative: Replace the old macros x86/alternative: Convert the asm ALTERNATIVE_3() macro x86/alternative: Convert the asm ALTERNATIVE_2() macro x86/alternative: Convert the asm ALTERNATIVE() macro x86/alternative: Convert ALTERNATIVE_3() x86/alternative: Convert ALTERNATIVE_TERNARY() x86/alternative: Convert alternative_call_2() x86/alternative: Convert alternative_call() x86/alternative: Convert alternative_io() x86/alternative: Convert alternative_input() x86/alternative: Convert alternative_2() x86/alternative: Convert alternative() x86/alternatives: Add nested alternatives macros x86/alternative: Zap alternative_ternary()
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 reStructuredText 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.
