Hi Paul,
Thanks for looking into it!
Does the following comment above the forest of #ifdef work for you ?
/* * RSEQ_SIG uses the break instruction. The instruction pattern is: * * On MIPS: * 0350000d break 0x350 * * On nanoMIPS32: * 00100350 break 0x350 * * On microMIPS: * 0000d407 break 0x350 * * For nanoMIPS32 and microMIPS, the instruction stream is encoded as 16-bit * halfwords, so the signature halfwords need to be swapped accordingly for * little-endian. */ Thanks,
Mathieu
