Subject: [PATCH 1/8] ARM: assembler: introduce adr_l, ldr_l and str_l macros
Date: Wed, 3 Aug 2016 17:38:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1470238730-30038-2-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1470238730-30038-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
Like arm64, ARM supports position independent code sequences that
produce symbol references with a greater reach than the ordinary
adr/ldr instructions.
Introduce adr_l, that takes the address of a symbol in a PC relative
manner, and ldr_l/str_l that perform a 32-bit loads/stores from a
PC-relative offset.
