[PATCH] x86/alternative: clean up asm/alternative.h
Posted by Juergen Gross 9 months, 1 week ago
Remove some unused macros in arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h which
could potentially result in weird build failures.

Fixes: 1a6ade825079 ("x86/alternative: Convert the asm ALTERNATIVE_3() macro")

I was surprised these haven't already broken the build, but they're
under an #ifdef __ASSEMBLER__ which I guess limits the damage.

Also, just a little note: The subject here is a bit anemic. I can pretty
easily and unambiguously tell the file from the diffstat. Wouldn't
something like this be slightly more helpful?
