    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull x86 asm alternatives updates from Borislav Petkov:
    
     - Switch the in-place instruction patching which lead to at least one
       weird bug with 32-bit guests, seeing stale instruction bytes, to one
       working on a buffer, like the rest of the alternatives code does
    
     - Add a long overdue check to the X86_FEATURE flag modifying functions
       to warn when former get changed in a non-compatible way after
       alternatives have been patched because those changes will be already
       wrong
    
     - Other cleanups
