arm64: alternative: Work around .inst assembler bugs
AArch64 toolchains suffer from the following bug: $ cat blah.S 1: .inst 0x01020304 .if ((. - 1b) != 4) .error "blah" .endif $ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -c blah.S blah.S: Assembler messages: blah.S:3: Error: non-constant expression in ".if" statement which precludes the use of msr_s and co as part of alternatives. We workaround this issue by not directly testing the labels themselves, but by moving the current output pointer by a value that should always be zero. If this value is not null, then we will trigger a backward move, which is expclicitely forbidden. This triggers the error we're after: AS arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.o arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.S: Assembler messages: arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.S:1377: Error: attempt to move .org backwards scripts/Makefile.build:294: recipe for target 'arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.o' failed make[1]: *** [arch/arm64/kvm/hyp.o] Error 1 Makefile:946: recipe for target 'arch/arm64/kvm' failed Not pretty, but at least works on the current toolchains.
