[PATCH 5.15 24/25] x86/module: Fix the paravirt vs alternative order

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Mar 17 2022 - 08:56:11 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5adf349439d29f92467e864f728dfc23180f3ef9 upstream.

Ever since commit

4e6292114c74 ("x86/paravirt: Add new features for paravirt patching")

there is an ordering dependency between patching paravirt ops and
patching alternatives, the module loader still violates this.
