On arm64, it has been possible for a module's sections to be placed more than 128M away from each other since commit: commit3e35d303ab("arm64: module: rework module VA range selection") Due to this, an ftrace callsite in a module's .init.text section can be out of branch range for the module's ftrace PLT entry (in the module's .text section). Any attempt to enable tracing of that callsite will result in a BRK being patched into the callsite, resulting in a fatal exception when the callsite is later executed. Fix this by adding an additional trampoline for .init.text, which will be within range. No additional trampolines are necessary due to the way a given module's executable sections are packed together. Any executable section beginning with ".init" will be placed in MOD_INIT_TEXT, and any other executable section, including those beginning with ".exit", will be placed in MOD_TEXT.

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 reStructuredText 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.
