Mark Rutland 8486e54d30 arm64: ftrace: fix !CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS kernels
When a kernel is built without CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, we don't
generate the expected branch instruction in ftrace_make_nop(). This
means we pass zero (rather than a valid branch) to ftrace_modify_code()
as the expected instruction to validate. This causes us to return
-EINVAL to the core ftrace code for a valid case, resulting in a splat
at boot time.

This was an unintended effect of commit:

  687644209a ("arm64: ftrace: fix building without CONFIG_MODULES")

... which incorrectly moved the generation of the branch instruction
into the ifdef for CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS.

This patch fixes the issue by moving the ifdef inside of the relevant
if-else case, and always checking that the branch is in range,
regardless of CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS. This ensures that we generate
the expected branch instruction, and also improves our sanity checks.

For consistency, both ftrace_make_nop() and ftrace_make_call() are
updated with this pattern.

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
