Michael Ellerman f86815184c powerpc/lib: Fix off-by-one in alternate feature patching 
commit b8858581fe upstream.

When we patch an alternate feature section, we have to adjust any
relative branches that branch out of the alternate section.

But currently we have a bug if we have a branch that points to past
the last instruction of the alternate section, eg:

  FTR_SECTION_ELSE
  1:     b       2f
         or      6,6,6
  2:
  ALT_FTR_SECTION_END(...)
         nop

This will result in a relative branch at 1 with a target that equals
the end of the alternate section.

That branch does not need adjusting when it's moved to the non-else
location. Currently we do adjust it, resulting in a branch that goes
off into the link-time location of the else section, which is junk.

The fix is to not patch branches that have a target == end of the
alternate section.

Fixes: 9b1a735de6 ("powerpc: Add logic to patch alternative feature sections")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
