Hi Fangrui,

The generic constraint "i" seems to be copied from x86 or arm (and with
a redundant generic operand modifier "c"). It works with -fno-PIE but
not with -fPIE/-fPIC in GCC's aarch64 port.
Thanks for your patch, which is now commit f9daab0ad01cf9d1 ("arm64:
jump_label: use constraints "Si" instead of "i"") in v6.8-rc5.
The machine constraint "S", which denotes a symbol or label reference
with a constant offset, supports PIC and has been available in GCC since
2012 and in Clang since 7.0. However, Clang before 19 does not support
"S" on a symbol with a constant offset [1] (e.g.
`static_key_false(&nf_hooks_needed[pf][hook])` in
include/linux/netfilter.h), so we use "i" as a fallback.
https://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html says gcc-5 was released in 2015,
i.e. after 2012 ...

arm64: jump_label: use constraint "S" instead of "i" (https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240131065322.1126831-1-maskray@google.com/ (local))

* Use "Si" as Ard suggested to support Clang<19
* Make branch a separate operand

Changes from v1:

* Use asmSymbolicName for readability
But it still fails on gcc-5:

    arch/arm64/include/asm/jump_label.h:25:2: error: invalid 'asm':
invalid operand
