Subject: [PATCH v5 17/32] ARM: assembler: introduce bl_r macro
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2022 18:47:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220124174744.1054712-18-ardb@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220124174744.1054712-1-ardb@kernel.org>
Add a bl_r macro that abstract the difference between the ways indirect
calls are performed on older and newer ARM architecture revisions.
The main difference is to prefer blx instructions over explicit LR
assignments when possible, as these tend to confuse the prediction logic
in out-of-order cores when speculating across a function return.
