[PATCH 00/20] x86: Cleanup alternative_io() and friends, prep for asm_call()
From: Josh Poimboeuf
Date: Fri Mar 14 2025 - 17:48:06 EST
Make the alternative_io() interface more straightforward and flexible,
and get rid of alternative_input().
These patches are a prereq for another set[1] which will get rid of
ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT[2] in favor of a much more flexible asm_call()
interface similar to the new alternative_io().
[1] Additional 20+ patches not posted yet to avoid flooding inboxes
[2] ASM_CALL_CONSTRAINT is semi-broken with Clang+KCOV+KMSAN.
