FYI: the interface I'm implementing looks like this: [output =] const_op(data, variable); ... where variable can be any variable with a static address, although in any sane scenario it should be __ro_after_init. During initialization, it kicks out to an out-of-line (.alternatives_aux) handler which accesses the variable in normal fashion, but at alternatives-patching time it inlines the relevant opcodes. Some of the assembly infrastructure for this is indeed hairy, especially when the out-of-line hander needs temp registers. -hpa -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
