From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: will.deacon@arm.com (Will Deacon) Date: Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:34:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] ARM: virt: Avoid bx instruction for compatibility with <=ARMv4 In-Reply-To: <1357918457-20469-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> References: <1357918457-20469-1-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> Message-ID: <1357918457-20469-2-git-send-email-will.deacon@arm.com> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org From: Dave Martin Non-T variants of ARMv4 do not support the bx instruction. However, __hyp_stub_install is always called from the same instruction set used to build the bulk of the kernel, so bx should not be necessary. This patch uses the traditional "mov pc" instead of bx.
