Instead of making increasingly complicated ALTERNATIVE_n()
implementations, use a nested alternative expression.
The only difference between:
ALTERNATIVE_2(oldinst, newinst1, flag1, newinst2, flag2)
and
ALTERNATIVE(ALTERNATIVE(oldinst, newinst1, flag1),
newinst2, flag2)
is that the outer alternative can add additional padding when the inner
alternative is the shorter one, which then results in
alt_instr::instrlen being inconsistent.
However, this is easily remedied since the alt_instr entries will be
consecutive and it is trivial to compute the max(alt_instr::instrlen) at
runtime while patching.
Specifically, after this the ALTERNATIVE_2 macro, after CPP expansion
(and manual layout), looks like this:
.macro ALTERNATIVE_2 oldinstr, newinstr1, ft_flags1, newinstr2, ft_flags2
740:
740: \oldinstr ;
741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ;
742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ;
altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags1,742b-740b,744f-743f ;
.popsection ;
.pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ;
743: \newinstr1 ;
744: .popsection ; ;
741: .skip -(((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)) > 0) * ((744f-743f)-(741b-740b)),0x90 ;
742: .pushsection .altinstructions,"a" ;
altinstr_entry 740b,743f,\ft_flags2,742b-740b,744f-743f ;
.popsection ;
.pushsection .altinstr_replacement,"ax" ;
743: \newinstr2 ;
744: .popsection ;
.endm
The only label that is ambiguous is 740, however they all reference the
same spot, so that doesn't matter.
NOTE: obviously only @oldinstr may be an alternative; making @newinstr
an alternative would mean patching .altinstr_replacement which very
likely isn't what is intended, also the labels will be confused in that
case.
[ bp: Debug an issue where it would match the wrong two insns and
and consider them nested due to the same signed offsets in the
.alternative section and use instr_va() to compare the full virtual
addresses instead.
- Use new labels to denote that the new, nested
alternatives are being used when staring at preprocessed output.
- Use the %c constraint everywhere instead of %P and document the
difference for future reference. ]
