Subject: [PATCH v3 4/7] arm64: kernel: use x30 for __enable_mmu return address
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:05:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472641517-15362-5-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1472641517-15362-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>
Using x27 for passing to __enable_mmu what is essentially the return
address makes the code look more complicated than it needs to be. So
switch to x30/lr, and update the secondary and cpu_resume call sites to
simply call __enable_mmu as an ordinary function, with a bl instruction.
This requires the callers to be covered by .idmap.text.
