Subject: objtool: Explicitly avoid self modifying code in .altinstr_replacement
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dd003edeffa3cb87bc9862582004f405d77d7670 upstream.
Assume ALTERNATIVE()s know what they're doing and do not change, or
cause to change, instructions in .altinstr_replacement sections.
