Ard Biesheuvel 4c7924060f arm64/alternatives: don't patch up internal branches
[ Upstream commit 5679b28142193a62f6af93249c0477be9f0c669b ]

Commit f7b93d42945c ("arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement
sequences") moved the alternatives replacement sequences into subsections,
in order to keep the as close as possible to the code that they replace.

Unfortunately, this broke the logic in branch_insn_requires_update,
which assumed that any branch into kernel executable code was a branch
that required updating, which is no longer the case now that the code
sequences that are patched in are in the same section as the patch site
itself.

So the only way to discriminate branches that require updating and ones
that don't is to check whether the branch targets the replacement sequence
itself, and so we can drop the call to kernel_text_address() entirely.

Fixes: f7b93d42945c ("arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement sequences")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
