[RFC] x86/alternative: Support relocations in alternatives

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Feb 01 2023 - 09:10:50 EST



(sorry for the repost, forgot lkml)

A little while ago someone (Kirill) ran into the whole 'alternatives don't
do relocations nonsense' again and I got annoyed enough to actually look
at the code.

Since the whole alternative machinery already fully decodes the
instructions it is simple enough to adjust immediates and displacement
when needed. Specifically, the immediates for IP modifying instructions
(JMP, CALL, Jcc) and the displacement for RIP-relative instructions.
