Subject: [PATCH 06/10] ARM: ftrace: add Thumb-2 support
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2010 01:18:34 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <mailman.286.1270059955.2170.linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org> (raw)
Fix the mcount routines to build and run on a kernel built with the
Thumb-2 instruction set by correcting the following errors using the
fixes suggested by Catalin Marinas:
- Problem: The following assembler errors appear at the "adr r0,
ftrace_stub" instruction:
entry-common.S: Assembler messages:
entry-common.S:179: Error: invalid immediate for address calculation (value = 0x00000004)
Fix: The errors don't occur with a non-global symbol, so use one.
- Problem: The "mov lr, pc" does not set the lsb when storing the pc in
lr. The called function returns with "bx lr", and the mode changes
to ARM.
Fix: Add a label on the return address and use "adr lr, BSYM(label)".
We don't modify the old mcount because it won't be built when using
Thumb-2.
