[PATCH 00/15] ARM: add and use convenience macros for PC relative references

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Every year or so, I make an attempt at contributing assembler macros
that encapsulate PC-relative references, including loads and stores,
and updating existing assembler code to make it more readable and
concise.

Patch #1 implements adr_l, ldr_l and str_l macros that emit PC-relative
references with unlimited range. For v7 and later, relative movw/movt
pairs are used (avoiding the need for loading literals via the D-cache).
For older CPUs, a literal containing a relative offset wrt the instruction
that adds the value of PC is emitted into a subsection, which works around
the objections given last time around, regarding the limited range of
PC-relative group relocations, and the fact that they are EABI only. In
this case, the range is unlimited, although the subsection needs to be
emitted within 4 K of the ldr instruction. (This limit can be extended
but that is currently unnecessary: .text sizes of objects built from .S
files never exceed 4 K in size. Please refer to the list below, after
the diffstat, for the sizes of the .text sections of all such objects
that are built as part of a multi_v7_defconfig kernel)

All patches beyond #1 are independent, but obviously all depend on the
first one. I understand there may be concerns about churn, but some of
these cleanups are really quite nice so please don't dismiss the series
wholesale for that reason.

Ard Biesheuvel (15):
  ARM: assembler: introduce adr_l, ldr_l and str_l macros
  ARM: head-common.S: use PC-relative insn sequence for __proc_info
  ARM: head-common.S: use PC-relative insn sequence for __turn_mmu_on
  ARM: head.S: use PC-relative insn sequence for secondary_data
  ARM: head: use PC-relative insn sequence for __smp_alt
  ARM: sleep.S: use PC-relative insn sequence for
    sleep_save_sp/mpidr_hash
  ARM: head.S: use PC-relative insn sequences for __fixup_pv_table
  ARM: head.S: use PC relative insn sequence to calculate PHYS_OFFSET
  ARM: kvm: replace open coded VA->PA calculations with adr_l call
  arm-soc: exynos: replace open coded VA->PA conversions
