[PATCH] ARM: Enter CPU in ARM state for cpu_resume

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

 



The standard boot protocol on ARM requires CPUs to be entered in
the ARM state, unless they don't support the ARM instruction set
(see Documentation/arm/Booting). On THUMB2 kernels, we assume
the firmware can determine what state to enter the kernel in, but
some firmwares don't honor the thumb bit. Make the cpu_resume
symbol an ARM symbol, so that firmwares that honor the thumb bit
will enter the kernel in ARM state and firmwares that don't honor
the thumb bit will be able to enter the kernel in ARM state
without more changes.

This fixes a problem reported by Kevin Hilman where the ifc6410 
fails to boot for THUMB2 kernels because the platform's firmware
always enters the kernel in ARM mode from deep idle states.
