This patchset tries to optimize arch specfic jump label implementation
for ARM64 by dynamic kernel text patching.

To enable this feature, your toolchain must support "asm goto" extension
and "%c" constraint extesion. Current GCC for AARCH64 doesn't support
"%c", and there's a patch for it now:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-10/msg01314.html

It has been tested on ARM Fast mode and a real hardware platform.

Any comments are welcomed!

V5->V6:
1) optimize stop_machine() related code
2) simplify aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync() interface
3) refine comments

V4->V5:
1) rework the stop_machine() related code
2) rework aarch64_insn_gen_nop()

V3->V4:
1) resolve a race condition in kernel text patching
2) address other review comments

V2->V3:
1) fix a bug in comparing signed and unsigned values
2) detect big endian by checking __AARCH64EB__

V1->V2: address review comments of V1
1) refine comments
2) add a new interface to always synchronize with stop_machine()
   when patching code
3) handle endian issue when patching code

Jiang Liu (7):
  arm64: introduce basic aarch64 instruction decoding helpers
  arm64: introduce interfaces to hotpatch kernel and module code
  arm64: move encode_insn_immediate() from module.c to insn.c
  arm64: introduce aarch64_insn_gen_{nop|branch_imm}() helper functions
  arm64, jump label: detect %c support for ARM64
  arm64, jump label: optimize jump label implementation
  jump_label: use defined macros instead of hard-coding for better
    readability
