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", so you need a GCC patch similiar to this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/gcc/config/arm/arm.c?view=patch&r1=175293&r2=175565&pathrev=175565
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48637

It has been tested on ARM Fast mode, but not on real hardware yet.

Any comments are welcomed!

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
