From 26584853a44c58f3d6ac7360d697a2ddcd1a3efa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 14:00:18 +0100 Subject: Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endian Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian (byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support: - setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and user threads - big-endian page table walking - REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault processing as they are still little-endian format - Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to little-endian Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas --- arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S') diff --git a/arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S b/arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S index b55cb0331809..366e5097a41a 100644 --- a/arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S +++ b/arch/arm/kernel/entry-common.S @@ -210,6 +210,9 @@ ENTRY(vector_swi) A710( teq ip, #0x0f000000 ) A710( bne .Larm710bug ) #endif +#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 + rev r10, r10 @ little endian instruction +#endif #elif defined(CONFIG_AEABI) -- cgit v1.2.3
