x86/lib/copy_page_64.S: Use generic ALTERNATIVE macro
... instead of the semi-version with the spelled out sections.
What is more, make the REP_GOOD version be the default copy_page()
version as the majority of the relevant x86 CPUs do set
X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD. Thus, copy_page gets compiled to:
ffffffff8130af80 <copy_page>:
ffffffff8130af80: e9 0b 00 00 00 jmpq
ffffffff8130af90 <copy_page_regs>
ffffffff8130af85: b9 00 02 00 00 mov $0x200,%ecx
ffffffff8130af8a: f3 48 a5 rep movsq %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
ffffffff8130af8d: c3 retq
ffffffff8130af8e: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
ffffffff8130af90 <copy_page_regs>:
...
and after the alternatives have run, the JMP to the old, unrolled
version gets NOPed out:
ffffffff8130af80 <copy_page>:
ffffffff8130af80: 66 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
ffffffff8130af83: 66 90 xchg %ax,%ax
ffffffff8130af85: b9 00 02 00 00 mov $0x200,%ecx
ffffffff8130af8a: f3 48 a5 rep movsq %ds:(%rsi),%es:(%rdi)
ffffffff8130af8d: c3 retq
On modern uarches, those NOPs are cheaper than the unconditional JMP
previously.
