From e039ee4ee3fcf174736f2cb0a2eed6cb908348a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andre Przywara Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 15:54:08 +0000 Subject: arm64: add alternative runtime patching With a blatant copy of some x86 bits we introduce the alternative runtime patching "framework" to arm64. This is quite basic for now and we only provide the functions we need at this time. This is connected to the newly introduced feature bits.
