Peter Zijlstra 1f6e6683c4 x86/alternative: Relax text_poke_bp() constraint
commit 26c44b776dba4ac692a0bf5a3836feb8a63fea6b upstream.

Currently, text_poke_bp() is very strict to only allow patching a
single instruction; however with straight-line-speculation it will be
required to patch: ret; int3, which is two instructions.

As such, relax the constraints a little to allow int3 padding for all
instructions that do not imply the execution of the next instruction,
ie: RET, JMP.d8 and JMP.d32.

While there, rename the text_poke_loc::rel32 field to ::disp.

Note: this fills up the text_poke_loc structure which is now a round
  16 bytes big.

  [ bp: Put comments ontop instead of on the side. ]

README

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.
