[PATCH] arm64: jump_label: use constraint "S" instead of "i"

From: Fangrui Song <hidden>
Date: 2024-01-31 06:53:41
Also in: lkml, llvm
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), static branch/call, the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Peter Zijlstra, Josh Poimboeuf, Jason Baron, Alice Ryhl, Linus Torvalds

The constraint "i" seems to be copied from x86 (and with a redundant
modifier "c"). It works with -fno-PIE but not with -fPIE/-fPIC in GCC's
aarch64 port.

The constraint "S", which denotes a symbol reference (e.g. function,
global variable) or label reference, is more appropriate, and has been
available in GCC since 2012 and in Clang since 7.0.
