[PATCH v1 10/12] x86, alternatives: Convert clear_page_64.S

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

Move clear_page() up so that we can get 2-byte forward JMPs when
patching:

[    2.388007] apply_alternatives: feat: 3*32+16, old: (ffffffff8130adb0, len: 5), repl: (ffffffff81d0b859, len: 5)
[    2.390992] ffffffff8130adb0: alt_insn: 90 90 90 90 90
[    2.393169] recompute_jump: new_displ: 0x0000003e
[    2.394628] ffffffff81d0b859: rpl_insn: eb 3e 66 66 90

even though compiler generated a 5-byte JMPs which we padded with 5
NOPs:

old insn VA: 0xffffffff8130adb0, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD, size: 5
clear_page:

ffffffff8130adb0 <clear_page>:
ffffffff8130adb0:       90                      nop
ffffffff8130adb1:       90                      nop
ffffffff8130adb2:       90                      nop
ffffffff8130adb3:       90                      nop
ffffffff8130adb4:       90                      nop
repl insn: 0xffffffff81d0b859, size: 5
 ffffffff81d0b859:      e9 92 f5 5f ff          jmpq ffffffff8130adf0

ffffffff8130adb0 <clear_page>:
ffffffff8130adb0:       e9 92 f5 5f ff          jmpq ffffffff8090a347

old insn VA: 0xffffffff8130adb0, CPU feat: X86_FEATURE_ERMS, size: 5
clear_page:

ffffffff8130adb0 <clear_page>:
ffffffff8130adb0:       90                      nop
ffffffff8130adb1:       90                      nop
ffffffff8130adb2:       90                      nop
ffffffff8130adb3:       90                      nop
ffffffff8130adb4:       90                      nop
repl insn: 0xffffffff81d0b85e, size: 5
 ffffffff81d0b85e:      e9 9d f5 5f ff          jmpq ffffffff8130ae00

ffffffff8130adb0 <clear_page>:
ffffffff8130adb0:       e9 9d f5 5f ff          jmpq ffffffff8090a352

Also, make the REP_GOOD version be the default as the majority of
machines set REP_GOOD. This way we get to save ourselves the JMP.
