      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.
