When running an freplace attached bpf program on an arm64 system w were
seeing the following issue:
Unhandled 64-bit el1h sync exception on CPU47, ESR 0x0000000036000003 -- BTI
After a bit of work to track it down I determined that what appeared to be
happening is that the 'bti c' at the start of the program was somehow being
reached after a 'br' instruction. Further digging pointed me toward the
fact that the function was attached via freplace. This in turn led me to
build_plt which I believe is invoking the long jump which is triggering
this error.
To resolve it we can replace the 'bti c' with 'bti jc' and add a comment
explaining why this has to be modified as such.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
