+Subject: arm64/alternatives: don't patch up internal branches
+
+From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
+
+[ Upstream commit 5679b28142193a62f6af93249c0477be9f0c669b ]
+
+Commit f7b93d42945c ("arm64/alternatives: use subsections for replacement
+sequences") moved the alternatives replacement sequences into subsections,
+in order to keep the as close as possible to the code that they replace.
+
+Unfortunately, this broke the logic in branch_insn_requires_update,
+which assumed that any branch into kernel executable code was a branch
+that required updating, which is no longer the case now that the code
+sequences that are patched in are in the same section as the patch site
+itself.
+
+So the only way to discriminate branches that require updating and ones
+that don't is to check whether the branch targets the replacement sequence
+itself, and so we can drop the call to kernel_text_address() entirely.
