Merge tag 'x86_alternatives_for_v6.11_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

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"

x86/alternatives, kvm: Fix a couple of CALLs without a frame pointer

objtool complains:

arch/x86/kvm/kvm.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0xc5: call without frame pointer save/setup
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x2eb: call without frame pointer save/setup

Make sure %rSP is an output operand to the respective asm() statements.

The test_cc() hunk and ALT_OUTPUT_SP() courtesy of peterz. Also from him
add some helpful debugging info to the documentation.

Now on to the explanations:

tl;dr: The alternatives macros are pretty fragile.

If I do ALT_OUTPUT_SP(output) in order to be able to package in a %rsp
reference for objtool so that a stack frame gets properly generated, the
inline asm input operand with positional argument 0 in clear_page():

"0" (page)

gets "renumbered" due to the added

: "+r" (current_stack_pointer), "=D" (page)

and then gcc says:

./arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h:53:9: error: inconsistent operand constraints in an ‘asm’

The fix is to use an explicit "D" constraint which points to a singleton
register class (gcc terminology) which ends up doing what is expected
here: the page pointer - input and output - should be in the same %rdi
register.

Other register classes have more than one register in them - example:
"r" and "=r" or "A":

‘A’
The ‘a’ and ‘d’ registers. This class is used for
instructions that return double word results in the ‘ax:dx’
register pair. Single word values will be allocated either in
‘ax’ or ‘dx’.

so using "D" and "=D" just works in this particular case.

And yes, one would say, sure, why don't you do "+D" but then:

: "+r" (current_stack_pointer), "+D" (page)
: [old] "i" (clear_page_orig), [new1] "i" (clear_page_rep), [new2] "i" (clear_page_erms),
: "cc", "memory", "rax", "rcx")

now find the Waldo^Wcomma which throws a wrench into all this.

Because that silly macro has an "input..." consume-all last macro arg
and in it, one is supposed to supply input *and* clobbers, leading to
silly syntax snafus.

Yap, they need to be cleaned up, one fine day...
