| |
In Thumb2 mode, the stack register r13 is deprecated if the destination register is the program counter (r15). Similar to head.S, head-nommu.S uses r13 to store the return address used after configuring the CPU's CP15 register. However, since we do not enable a MMU, there will be no address switch and it is possible to use branch with link instruction to call __after_proc_init.
Avoid using r13 completely by using bl to call __after_proc_init and get rid of __secondary_switched.
Beside removing unnecessary complexity, this also fixes a compiler warning when compiling a !MMU kernel: Warning: Use of r13 as a source register is deprecated when r15 is the destination register.
Suggested-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Stefan Agner <stefan@agner.ch> --- The patch takes the BSYM() to badr change into account and hence applies cleanly on Russell's for-next branch. Tested using a single core Cortex-M4 configuration.
