need to "spell out" the number of alternates in an ALTERNATIVE_n() macro and thus have an ever-increasing complexity in those definitions. For ease of bisection, the old macros are converted to the new, nested variants in a step-by-step manner so that in case an issue is encountered during testing, one can pinpoint the place where it fails easier. Because debugging alternatives is a serious pain. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCgAdFiEEzv7L6UO9uDPlPSfHEsHwGGHeVUoFAmaU/+MACgkQEsHwGGHe VUpMGhAAqVbB3DZohv0Oa4BRRvaKFuQ3L7H0NTjK/pbT3EG+phol0zrHby2MnGjD HWXskps86n91QBB/06vAyZRimV/dvAPvlSKllsRx6ie3VCE4FJPzA4nTWQn/41dC HWamj78mQuSMgioLzIYdTY79KObtJcUw/X/xz+TTMemfkzkQxukKY7+Y71nZbuKi rUuCSrfAWNHQaIaoGs2JowGw7te7yNOtKQMCW5TdNLwvJfOAECuoLIFeiEcWHvoO uGl6FTABNLp26wmaeceUxdjBbTJcM3iV3joZQYED7B+mbJcU/a7tZw7I+mavPrbh Y6+EOn7rzR0wbcmj0iJ74TKr+uKDme/Qzm3YEKgGvJPj9tRjTDwxWRBnyTeCMbav NkKVwWTep8K+1qJtGVBwACY6iz89u3P8V5owD8O++KIPQa8rA0m8pN5gaU3PVYYQ D2UUdqXWIPIFoD4Sveb/WFU8OJKY+Nx7IK8KD03h5tiXW8MmGSa2e5b57gIfCLP7 DbSHyCkTiqEdBrSM4/RaVVckD6NZ39M87H+iV51vYUkCYmODa/riMj0M7SVMi5Jo S/30jvdHEzWnmDBbOsn9d1XbvB5I+zz3BrcZQ2VSyBx+Y9m+SZ9qsyMEkOWw4uKM kfFp+XlYVWSnQFo7jY3UUIgVrU9dmdX1WxNX7/2HABDjg3MtWog= =tGap -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'x86_alternatives_for_v6.11_rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 alternatives updates from Borislav Petkov: "This is basically PeterZ's idea to nest the alternative macros to avoid the need to "spell out" the number of alternates in an ALTERNATIVE_n() macro and thus have an ever-increasing complexity in those definitions.
