Subject: [PATCH 0/1] ARM: imx: build suspend-imx6.S with arm instruction set
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2021 16:17:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210111151704.26296-1-max.krummenacher@toradex.com> (raw)

When the kernel is configured to use the Thumb-2 instruction set
"suspend-to-memory" fails to resume while in ARM mode it works as
expected.
(I used imx_v6_v7_defconfig and deselected ARCH_MULTI_V6 and selected
THUMB2_KERNEL)

The system prints what is expected when suspending but an event of a
wakeup source does give no output.

root@colibri-imx6ull:~# echo mem > /sys/power/state

-> trigger wakeup event, no reaction.

It looks like the CPU resumes unconditionally in ARM instruction mode
and then chokes on the presented Thumb-2 code it should execute on resume.
With the following code change resume succeeds.

I propose however to compile the whole file in ARM mode and have the
linker taking care of the ARM/Thumb-2 switching. This would also keep
the code working if a i.MX CPU variant exists that resumes in the same
mode in which it went to sleep.
