From 26584853a44c58f3d6ac7360d697a2ddcd1a3efa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 14:00:18 +0100 Subject: Add core support for ARMv6/v7 big-endian Starting with ARMv6, the CPUs support the BE-8 variant of big-endian (byte-invariant). This patch adds the core support: - setting of the BE-8 mode via the CPSR.E register for both kernel and user threads - big-endian page table walking - REV used to rotate instructions read from memory during fault processing as they are still little-endian format - Kconfig and Makefile support for BE-8. The --be8 option must be passed to the final linking stage to convert the instructions to little-endian Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas --- arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S') diff --git a/arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S b/arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S index 0a8ffd3c03f..4f8486475a7 100644 --- a/arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S +++ b/arch/arm/mm/proc-v7.S @@ -253,6 +253,9 @@ __v7_setup: mcr p15, 0, r6, c10, c2, 1 @ write NMRR adr r5, v7_crval ldmia r5, {r5, r6} +#ifdef CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8 + orr r6, r6, #1 << 25 @ big-endian page tables +#endif mrc p15, 0, r0, c1, c0, 0 @ read control register bic r0, r0, r5 @ clear bits them orr r0, r0, r6 @ set them -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
