[PATCH v5 07/14] riscv: prevent compressed instructions in alternatives
From: Heiko Stuebner
Date: Fri Jan 21 2022 - 11:37:34 EST
Instructions are opportunistically compressed by the RISC-V assembler
when possible, but in alternatives-blocks both the old and new content
need to be the same size, so having the toolchain do somewhat random
optimizations will cause strange side-effects like
"attempt to move .org backwards" compile-time errors.
Already a simple "and" used in alternatives assembly will cause these
mismatched code sizes.
So prevent compressed instructions to be generated in alternatives-
code and use option-push and -pop to limit this to the relevant
code blocks
