3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4b5347a24a0f2d3272032c120664b484478455de upstream. When building for microMIPS we need to ensure that the assembler always knows that there is code at the target of a branch or jump. Recent toolchains will fail to link a microMIPS kernel when this isn't the case due to what it thinks is a branch to non-microMIPS code. mips-mti-linux-gnu-ld kernel/built-in.o: .spinlock.text+0x2fc: Unsupported branch between ISA modes. mips-mti-linux-gnu-ld final link failed: Bad value This is due to inline assembly labels in spinlock.h not being followed by an instruction mnemonic, either due to a .subsection pseudo-op or the end of the inline asm block. Fix this with a .insn direction after such labels. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: James Hogan <james.hogan@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Maciej W.
