+// The documented title for Erratum 657417 is:
+// "A 32bit branch instruction that spans two 4K regions can result in an
+// incorrect instruction fetch or processor deadlock". Graphically using a
+// 32-bit B.w instruction encoded as a pair of halfwords 0xf7fe 0xbfff
+// xxxxxx000 // Memory region 1 start
+// target:
+// ...
+// xxxxxxffe f7fe // First halfword of branch to target:
+// xxxxxx000 // Memory region 2 start
+// xxxxxx002 bfff // Second halfword of branch to target:
+//
+// The specific trigger conditions that can be detected at link time are:
+// - There is a 32-bit Thumb-2 branch instruction with an address of the form
+// xxxxxxFFE. The first 2 bytes of the instruction are in 4KiB region 1, the
+// second 2 bytes are in region 2.
+// - The branch instruction is one of BLX, BL, B.w BCC.w
+// - The instruction preceding the branch is a 32-bit non-branch instruction.
+// - The target of the branch is in region 1.
+//
+// The linker mitigation for the fix is to redirect any branch that meets the
+// erratum conditions to a patch section containing a branch to the target.
+//
+// As adding patch sections may move branches onto region boundaries the patch
+// must iterate until no more patches are added.
+//
+// Example, before:
+// 00000FFA func: NOP.w // 32-bit Thumb function
+// 00000FFE B.W func // 32-bit branch spanning 2 regions, dest in 1st.
+// Example, after:
+// 00000FFA func: NOP.w // 32-bit Thumb function
+// 00000FFE B.w __CortexA8657417_00000FFE
+// 00001002 2 - bytes padding
