From 6623c9f4b3cdc9c82643c594c2573b60415c8fbb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 12:28:16 +0100
Subject: [PATCH 058/102] x86/alternatives: Fix optimize_nops() checking
commit 612e8e9350fd19cae6900cf36ea0c6892d1a0dca upstream.
The alternatives code checks only the first byte whether it is a NOP, but
with NOPs in front of the payload and having actual instructions after it
breaks the "optimized' test.
Make sure to scan all bytes before deciding to optimize the NOPs in there.
