"jmp $+2" jumps to the next instruction after itself (this form of "jmp" is 2
bytes long), i.e. essentially it is a no-op. It was often used in the past on
x86 to provide delays after I/O instructions. Now, these older programs cannot
be assembled with GAS. Notice that it is Intel syntax, it is valid.
