[PATCH 5.15 06/78] objtool: Explicitly avoid self modifying code in .altinstr_replacement

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Jul 12 2022 - 14:58:59 EST


From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit dd003edeffa3cb87bc9862582004f405d77d7670 upstream.

Assume ALTERNATIVE()s know what they're doing and do not change, or
cause to change, instructions in .altinstr_replacement sections.
