Subject: [PATCHv2 3/3] powerpc: lib: sstep: fix build errors
Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2022 17:22:15 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220224162215.3406642-3-anders.roxell@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220224162215.3406642-1-anders.roxell@linaro.org>
Building tinyconfig with gcc (Debian 11.2.0-16) and assembler (Debian
2.37.90.20220207) the following build error shows up:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:10576: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcx.'
{standard input}:10680: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lharx'
{standard input}:10694: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lbarx'
Rework to add assembler directives [1] around the instruction. The
problem with this might be that we can trick a power6 into
single-stepping through an stbcx. for instance, and it will execute that
in kernel mode.
