[PATCH v2 12/14] x86/alternative: Add debug prints to apply_retpolines()

From: Peter Zijlstra
Date: Wed Oct 20 2021 - 07:04:23 EST


Make sure we can see the text changes when booting with
'debug-alternative'.

Example output:

[ ] SMP alternatives: retpoline at: __traceiter_initcall_level+0x1f/0x30 (ffffffff8100066f) len: 5 to: __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+0x0/0x20
[ ] SMP alternatives: ffffffff82603e58: [2:5) optimized NOPs: ff d0 0f 1f 00
[ ] SMP alternatives: ffffffff8100066f: orig: e8 cc 30 00 01
[ ] SMP alternatives: ffffffff8100066f: repl: ff d0 0f 1f 00
