This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ARM: 9136/1: ARMv7-M uses BE-8, not BE-32 to the 5.14-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-9136-1-armv7-m-uses-be-8-not-be-32.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 155bdd7f1fa840725a88793a775444c775ebd92e Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 18 15:30:06 2021 +0100 ARM: 9136/1: ARMv7-M uses BE-8, not BE-32 [ Upstream commit 345dac33f58894a56d17b92a41be10e16585ceff ] When configuring the kernel for big-endian, we set either BE-8 or BE-32 based on the CPU architecture level. Until linux-4.4, we did not have any ARMv7-M platform allowing big-endian builds, but now i.MX/Vybrid is in that category, adn we get a build error because of this: arch/arm/kernel/module-plts.c: In function 'get_module_plt': arch/arm/kernel/module-plts.c:60:46: error: implicit declaration of function '__opcode_to_mem_thumb32' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] This comes down to picking the wrong default, ARMv7-M uses BE8 like ARMv7-A does. Changing the default gets the kernel to compile and presumably works. https://lore.kernel.org/all/1455804123-2526139-2-git-send-email-arnd@xxxxxxxx/ Tested-by: Vladimir Murzin <vladimir.murzin@xxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Russell King (Oracle) <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/arch/arm/mm/Kconfig b/arch/arm/mm/Kconfig index 8355c38958942..82aa990c4180c 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mm/Kconfig +++ b/arch/arm/mm/Kconfig @@ -750,7 +750,7 @@ config CPU_BIG_ENDIAN config CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 bool depends on CPU_BIG_ENDIAN - default CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K || CPU_V7 + default CPU_V6 || CPU_V6K || CPU_V7 || CPU_V7M help Support for the BE-8 (big-endian) mode on ARMv6 and ARMv7 processors.
