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.
