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 * tag 'x86_alternatives_for_v6.10_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/alternatives: Remove alternative_input_2() x86/alternatives: Sort local vars in apply_alternatives() x86/alternatives: Optimize optimize_nops() x86/alternatives: Get rid of __optimize_nops() x86/alternatives: Use a temporary buffer when optimizing NOPs x86/alternatives: Catch late X86_FEATURE modifiers
