Subject: [PATCH] ARM: head-common.S: Clear lr before jumping to start_kernel()
Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2017 17:23:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1507044184-27152-1-git-send-email-geert+renesas@glider.be> (raw)
If CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y, the kernel log is spammed with a few
hundred identical messages:
unwind: Unknown symbol address c0800300
unwind: Index not found c0800300
c0800300 is the return address from the last subroutine call (to
__memzero()) in __mmap_switched(). Apparently having this address in
the link register confuses the unwinder.
To fix this, reset the link register to zero before jumping to
start_kernel().
Fixes: 9520b1a1b5f7a348 ("ARM: head-common.S: speed up startup code")
