2012-10-24x86/asm: Clean up copy_page_*() comments and codeMa Ling
Modern CPUs use fast-string instruction to accelerate copy performance, by combining data into 128 bit chunks. Modify comments and coding style to match it.

2011-07-13x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relativeAndy Lutomirski
This save a few bytes on x86-64 and means that future patches can apply alternatives to unrelocated code.

2010-07-07x86, alternatives: Use 16-bit numbers for cpufeature indexH. Peter Anvin
We already have cpufeature indicies above 255, so use a 16-bit number for the alternatives index. This consumes a padding field and so doesn't add any size, but it means that abusing the padding field to create assembly errors on overflow no longer works. We can retain the test simply by redirecting it to the .discard section, however. [ v3: updated to include open-coded locations ] Signed-off-by: H.
