Subject: [PATCH 06/10] ARM: ftrace: add Thumb-2 support
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:19:43 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1268462987-8271-7-git-send-email-rabin@rab.in> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1268462987-8271-1-git-send-email-rabin@rab.in>
Fix the mcount routines to build and run on a kernel built with the
Thumb-2 instruction set:
- Without the BSYM, the following assembler errors appear:
entry-common.S: Assembler messages:
entry-common.S:179: Error: invalid immediate for address calculation (value = 0x00000004)
- Without the orr, the lsb is not set on the pointer loaded from
ftrace_trace_function, but is set on BSYM(ftrace_stub), leading to the
comparison failing even when the pointer is pointing to ftrace_stub.
- The problem with the "mov lr, pc", is that it does not set the lsb when
storing the pc in lr. The called function returns with "bx lr", and the
mode changes to ARM. The blx is to avoid this.
