[PATCH 2/2] DONOTMERGE: arm64: module: Test module for BTI veneers

[Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>]

This module has a tiny .text section with a static function, which is
called by the module init hook, which is placed in a ~128M init code
section, which is therefore guaranteed to be place out of direct
branching range when CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL is disabled.

When CONFIG_ARM64_BTI_KERNEL is enabled, this forces the use of a BTI
veneer, as recent GCCs and Clangs will elide BTI landing pads for static
functions that never have their address taken, even in the presence of
cross-section calls to those functions.
