commit 923510c88d upstream.
Clang likes to create conditional tail calls like:
0000000000000350 <amd_pmu_add_event>:
350: 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopl 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) 351: R_X86_64_NONE __fentry__-0x4
355: 48 83 bf 20 01 00 00 00 cmpq $0x0,0x120(%rdi)
35d: 0f 85 00 00 00 00 jne 363 <amd_pmu_add_event+0x13> 35f: R_X86_64_PLT32 __SCT__amd_pmu_branch_add-0x4
363: e9 00 00 00 00 jmp 368 <amd_pmu_add_event+0x18> 364: R_X86_64_PLT32 __x86_return_thunk-0x4
Where 0x35d is a static call site that's turned into a conditional
tail-call using the Jcc class of instructions.
Teach the in-line static call text patching about this.
Notably, since there is no conditional-ret, in that case patch the Jcc
to point at an empty stub function that does the ret -- or the return
thunk when needed.
