Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH v5 12/18] arm: mark save_boot_params_ret as a function
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 16:21:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1507645279-25188-13-git-send-email-philipp.tomsich@theobroma-systems.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1507645279-25188-1-git-send-email-philipp.tomsich@theobroma-systems.com>

As no '.type' was set for save_boot_params_ret in start.S, binutils
did not track whether it was emitted as A32 or T32.  By properly
marking save_boot_params_ret as a potential function entry, we can
make sure that the compiler will insert the appropriate instructions
for branching to save_boot_params_ret both for call-sites emitted as
A32 and T32.

Changes in v5: None
Changes in v4: None
Changes in v3:
- tracked the root-cause why no interwork branch was emitted and fixed
  it using a '.type'-directive in start.S to mark save_boot_params_ret
  as a (possible) function-entry.

Changes in v2: None
