Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: kexec: Use the right ISA for relocate_new_kernel
Date: Fri, 8 Nov 2013 12:24:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383913444-9153-1-git-send-email-Dave.Martin@arm.com> (raw)
Copying a function with memcpy() and then trying to execute the
result isn't trivially portable to Thumb.
This patch modifies the kexec soft restart code to copy its
assembler trampoline relocate_new_kernel() using fncpy() instead,
so that relocate_new_kernel can be in the same ISA as the rest of
the kernel without problems.
Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <Dave.Martin@arm.com>

Changes since v1:
* Move ENDPROC() after relocate_new_kernel's literals, to be
consistent the location of relocate_new_kernel_end and with the way
GCC sets ELF symbol sizes for functions. This is just a tidyup,
with no functional impact.
