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.

asm/alternative-asm.h and asm/alternative.h are extremely similar, and really deserve to live in the same file (as this makes further modufications a bit easier). Fold the content of alternative-asm.h into alternative.h, and update the few users.

Currently the kernel patches all necessary instructions once at boot time, so modules are not covered by this. Change the apply_alternatives() function to take a beginning and an end pointer and introduce a new variant (apply_alternatives_all()) to cover the existing use case for the static kernel image section. Add a module_finalize() function to arm64 to check for an alternatives section in a module and patch only the instructions from that specific area. Since that module code is not touched before the module initialization has ended, we don't need to halt the machine before doing the patching in the module's code.

With a blatant copy of some x86 bits we introduce the alternative runtime patching "framework" to arm64. This is quite basic for now and we only provide the functions we need at this time. This is connected to the newly introduced feature bits. Signed-off-by: NAndre Przywara <andre.przywara@arm.com> Signed-off-by: NWill Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
