Use jumps instead of branches when jumping from one section to another
to avoid branches to addresses further away than 22 bit offsets can
handle that results in errors such as
arch/sparc/kernel/signal_32.o:(.fixup+0x0): relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_WDISP22 against `.text'
This is the same approach that was taken for sparc64 in commit
52eb053b7191 ("[SPARC64]: Fix linkage of enormous kernels.")

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 reStructuredText 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.
