      Revert "arm: move exports to definitions" · 8478132a
      Russell King 提交于
      This reverts commit 4dd1837d.
      
      Moving the exports for assembly code into the assembly files breaks
      KSYM trimming, but also breaks modversions.
      
      While fixing the KSYM trimming is trivial, fixing modversions brings
      us to a technically worse position that we had prior to the above
      change:
      
      - We end up with the prototype definitions divorsed from everything
        else, which means that adding or removing assembly level ksyms
        become more fragile:
        * if adding a new assembly ksyms export, a missed prototype in
          asm-prototypes.h results in a successful build if no module in
          the selected configuration makes use of the symbol.
        * when removing a ksyms export, asm-prototypes.h will get forgotten,
          with armksyms.c, you'll get a build error if you forget to touch
          the file.
      
      - We end up with the same amount of include files and prototypes,
        they're just in a header file instead of a .c file with their
        exports.
      
      As for lines of code, we don't get much of a size reduction:
       (original commit)
       47 files changed, 131 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-)
       (fix for ksyms trimming)
       7 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-)
       (two fixes for modversions)
       1 file changed, 34 insertions(+)
       3 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
      which results in a net total of only 25 lines deleted.
      
      As there does not seem to be much benefit from this change of approach,
      revert the change.

      ARM: convert all "mov.* pc, reg" to "bx reg" for ARMv6+ · 6ebbf2ce
      Russell King 提交于
      ARMv6 and greater introduced a new instruction ("bx") which can be used
      to return from function calls.  Recent CPUs perform better when the
      "bx lr" instruction is used rather than the "mov pc, lr" instruction,
      and this sequence is strongly recommended to be used by the ARM
      architecture manual (section A.4.1.1).
      
      We provide a new macro "ret" with all its variants for the condition
      code which will resolve to the appropriate instruction.
      
      Rather than doing this piecemeal, and miss some instances, change all
      the "mov pc" instances to use the new macro, with the exception of
      the "movs" instruction and the kprobes code.  This allows us to detect
      the "mov pc, lr" case and fix it up - and also gives us the possibility
      of deploying this for other registers depending on the CPU selection.
