From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk (Ben Dooks) Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:10:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 18/20] ARM: kdgb: use for data to be assembled as intruction In-Reply-To: <1377889856-9447-1-git-send-email-ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> References: <1377889856-9447-1-git-send-email-ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> Message-ID: <1377889856-9447-19-git-send-email-ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org The arch_kgdb_breakpoint() function uses an inline assembly directive to assemble a specific instruction using .word. This means the linker will not treat is as an instruction, and therefore incorrectly swap the endian-ness if running BE8. As noted, this code means that kgdb is really only usable on arm32 kernels, and should be made dependant on not being a thumb2 kernel until fixed. However this is not something to be added to this patch.
