Subject: [PATCH 2/3] arm64: efi-entry.S: avoid open-coded adr_l
Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 16:10:57 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1484669458-31713-3-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1484669458-31713-1-git-send-email-mark.rutland@arm.com>
Some places in the kernel open-code sequences using ADRP for a symbol
another instruction using a :lo12: relocation for that same symbol.
These sequences are easy to get wrong, and more painful to read than is
necessary. For these reasons, it is preferable to use the
{adr,ldr,str}_l macros for these cases.
This patch makes use of these in efi-entry.S, removing open-coded
sequences using adrp.
