Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] static call support for arm64
Date:   Fri,  5 Nov 2021 15:59:15 +0100

This implements non-inline static calls for arm64. This is rather
straight-forward, as we don't rely on any tooling to look for static
call sites etc. The only minor complication is Clang CFI, which is
already in mainline for arm64, and requires a little tweak to ensure
that we don't end up patching the CFI jump table instead of the static
call trampoline itself.

Changes since v5:
- drop the patch that works around issues with references to symbols
  with static linkage from asm blocks; this is specific to Clang+ThinLTO
  in versions before 13, so we can just decide not to support that config.
- add a patch to use non-function type symbols for the trampolines, to
  ensure that taking the address gives us the trampoline itself rather
  than the address of a CFI jump table entry that branches to it.

Changes since v4:
- add preparatory patch to address generic CFI/LTO issues with static
  calls
- add comment to patch #2 describing the trampoline layout
- add handling of Clang CFI jump table entries
- add PeterZ's ack to patch #2
