From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: dave.martin@linaro.org (Dave Martin) Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:40:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Consistently enter the kernel in ARM state Message-ID: <1308577229-23681-1-git-send-email-dave.martin@linaro.org> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org This series rationalises the kernel entry requirements so that Image is entered in ARM state, just like zImage. This should enable Image to be booted reliably for Thumb-2 kernels, just like zImage. The Booting documentation is updated to describe the requirement: this resolves the ARM/Thumb ambiguity for Thumb-2 kernels; for ARM kernels there is no implied change.
