Subject: [Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 08/28] xen/arm32: head: Add a macro to move an immediate constant into a 32-bit register
Date: Mon, 12 Aug 2019 18:29:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190812173019.11956-9-julien.grall@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190812173019.11956-1-julien.grall@arm.com>

The current boot code is using the pattern ldr rX, =... to move an
immediate constant into a 32-bit register.

This pattern implies to load the immediate constant from a literal pool,
meaning a memory access will be performed.

The memory access can be avoided by using movw/movt instructions.

A new macro is introduced to move an immediate constant into a 32-bit
register without a memory load. Follow-up patches will make use of it.
