From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: tixy@yxit.co.uk (Tixy) Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 11:56:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 08/51] ARM: kprobes: Make str_pc_offset a constant on ARMv7 In-Reply-To: <1310209058-20980-1-git-send-email-tixy@yxit.co.uk> References: <1310209058-20980-1-git-send-email-tixy@yxit.co.uk> Message-ID: <1310209058-20980-9-git-send-email-tixy@yxit.co.uk> To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org From: Jon Medhurst The str_pc_offset value is architecturally defined on ARMv7 onwards so we can make it a compile time constant. This means on Thumb kernels the runtime checking code isn't needed, which saves us from having to fix it to work for Thumb.
