Subject: arm64: alternative: Allow immediate branch as alternative instruction
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7616fc8bcd7ef4975a294337d6cd3007b8c18746;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2FG12%2Fandroid_kernel_amlogic_linux-4.9.git

arm64: alternative: Allow immediate branch as alternative instruction

Since all branches are PC-relative on AArch64, these instructions
cannot be used as an alternative with the simplistic approach
we currently have (the immediate has been computed from
the .altinstr_replacement section, and end-up being completely off
if the target is outside of the replacement sequence).

This patch handles the branch instructions in a different way,
using the insn framework to recompute the immediate, and generate
the right displacement in the above case.
