Subject: [PATCH] ARM: PJ4: make coprocessor access sequences buildable in Thumb2 mode
Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 16:25:12 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1450365912-3834-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
The PJ4 inline asm sequence to write to cp15 cannot be built in Thumb-2
mode, due to the way it performs arithmetic on the program counter, so it
is built in ARM mode instead. However, building C files in ARM mode under
CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL is problematic, since the instrumentation performed
by subsystems like ftrace does not expect having to deal with interworking
branches.
Since the sequence in question is simply a poor man's ISB instruction,
let's use a straight 'isb' instead. Unlike Xscale, where this code
originated, PJ4 is strictly ARMv7 so this should always be supported.
