Subject: [PATCH v2] ARM: nommu: avoid deprecated source register on mov
Date: Sat, 23 May 2015 01:25:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432337148-9894-1-git-send-email-stefan@agner.ch> (raw)

In Thumb2 mode, the stack register r13 is deprecated if the
destination register is the program counter (r15). Similar to
head.S, head-nommu.S uses r13 to store the return address used
after configuring the CPU's CP15 register. However, since we do
not enable a MMU, there will be no address switch and it is
possible to use branch with link instruction to call
__after_proc_init.

Avoid using r13 completely by using bl to call __after_proc_init
and get rid of __secondary_switched.

Beside removing unnecessary complexity, this also fixes a
compiler warning when compiling a !MMU kernel:
Warning: Use of r13 as a source register is deprecated when r15
is the destination register.

Changes in v2:
- Load r7 outside CONFIG_ARM_MPU since its used outside later on
