[PATCH v3 1/2] arm64: Add macro version of the BTI instruction

Mark Brown broonie at kernel.org
Wed Dec 8 08:08:18 PST 2021


BTI is only available from v8.5 so we need to encode it using HINT in
generic code and for older toolchains. Add an assembler macro written
by Mark Rutland which lets us use the mnemonic and update the existing
users.
