Commit f7b93d42945c ("arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement
sequences") breaks LLVM's integrated assembler, because due to its
one-pass design, it cannot compute instruction sequence lengths before the
layout for the subsection has been finalized. This change fixes the build
by moving the .org directives inside the subsection, so they are processed
after the subsection layout is known.

Commit f7b93d42945c went in 5.8-rc4. Why is this cc stable from 4.14? If
Will picks it up for 5.8, it doesn't even need a cc stable.
Please add a Fixes: tag as well.

Greg or Sasha can probably answer why, but this patch is in 4.14.189,
4.19.134, 5.4.53, and 5.7.10, which ended up breaking some downstream
Android kernel builds.

Sure, I'll send v2 shortly with the tag. Thanks.

I see but I don't think we need the explicit cc stable for 4.14. That's
why the Fixes tag is important. If a patch was back-ported, the
subsequent fixes should be picked by the stable maintainers as well.

If you know it ahead of time, the explict "# kernel.version" hint is
always nice to have as it ensures I will try to backport it that far,
and if I have problems, I will ask for help.

Good to know. Thanks for the clarification.
