If I understand it correctly, it is not the range itself that matters 
here, but rather, that AUIPC instruction remains the same for the 
address of ftrace_caller and for the new addr.

For the displacements like 0xfabcd000 and 0xfabccf00, for example, the 
distance is 0x100, which is within JALR range. However, the higher 20 
bits differ, so the AUIPC instructions will differ too. 
__ftrace_modify_call() would catch this though ("if (replaced[0] != 
call[0]) ...").

I'd suggest checking the higher 20 bits explicitly instead, something 
like this:

if ((orig_addr & AUIPC_OFFSET_MASK) != (addr & AUIPC_OFFSET_MASK))
         return -EINVAL;

What do you think?
