Got it. That helps a lot!
You kind of have this comment scattered through arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c
but having it in one place like above would go a long way.
Could you please add it to arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c
or arch/x86/include/asm/cfi.h next to enum cfi_mode ?

I see. yeah. The setup is not trivial indeed. Keep as-is is fine.

I also noticed this discrepancy. It doesn't seem to be used.
Looks weird to spend 8 bytes to store -sizeof(ud2)

Just the above comment somewhere would work.
I wouldn't worry about duplication. This is tricky stuff.
When gcc folks get around implementing kcfi they will find it useful too.
