When turning branch instructions into NOPs, we attempt to validate the action by comparing the old value at the call site with the opcode of a direct relative branch instruction pointing at the old target. However, these call sites are statically initialized to call _mcount(), and may be redirected via a PLT entry if the module is loaded far away from the kernel text, leading to false negatives and spurious errors. So skip the validation if CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS is configured. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
