This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: efistub: replace adrl pseudo-op with adr_l macro invocation to the 5.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: arm-efistub-replace-adrl-pseudo-op-with-adr_l-macro-.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit cc0d8721f030921a8f0b5ebe0a2b88d0001d376b Author: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 14 12:28:01 2020 +0300 ARM: efistub: replace adrl pseudo-op with adr_l macro invocation commit 67e3f828bd4bf5e4eb4214dc4eb227d8f1c8a877 upstream. The ARM 'adrl' pseudo instruction is a bit problematic, as it does not exist in Thumb mode, and it is not implemented by Clang either. Since the Thumb variant has a slightly bigger range, it is sometimes necessary to emit the 'adrl' variant in ARM mode where Thumb mode can use adr just fine. However, that still leaves the Clang issue, which does not appear to be supporting this any time soon. So let's switch to the adr_l macro, which works for both ARM and Thumb, and has unlimited range.
