[RFC PATCH v3 11/13] objtool: arm64: Handle supported relocations in alternatives

From: Chen Zhongjin
Date: Thu Apr 07 2022 - 08:03:51 EST


From: Julien Thierry <jthierry@xxxxxxxxxx>

Based on get_alt_insn() in arch/arm64/kernel/alternative.c, arm64
alternative code adapts offsets for static branches and adrp
instructions.
