Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/5] ARM: entry: Fix Thumb-2 undef handling for multi-CPU kernels
Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:13:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1312971223-28165-6-git-send-email-dave.martin@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1312971223-28165-1-git-send-email-dave.martin@linaro.org>
When v6 and >=v7 boards are supported in the same kernel, the
__und_usr code currently makes a build-time assumption that Thumb-2
instructions occurring in userspace don't need to be supported.
Strictly speaking this is incorrect.
This patch fixes the above case by doing a run-time check on the
CPU architecture in these cases. This only affects kernels which
support v6 and >=v7 CPUs together: plain v6 and plain v7 kernels
are unaffected.
