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.
