On arm64, all executable code is guaranteed to reside in the vmalloc space (or the module space), and so jump targets will only use 48 bits at most, and the remaining bits are guaranteed to be 0x1. This means we can generate an immediate jump address using a sequence of one MOVN (move wide negated) and two MOVK instructions, where the first one sets the lower 16 bits but also sets all top bits to 0x1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
