From aeed41a9371ee02257b608eb06a9058507a7d0f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 17:33:27 +0100 Subject: arm64: fix alignment padding in assembly code An interesting effect of using the generic version of linkage.h is that the padding is defined in terms of x86 NOPs, which can have even more interesting effects when the assembly code looks like this: ENTRY(func1) mov x0, xzr ENDPROC(func1) // fall through ENTRY(func2) mov x0, #1 ret ENDPROC(func2) Admittedly, the code is not very nice. But having code from another architecture doesn't look completely sane either. The fix is to add arm64's version of linkage.h, which causes the insertion of proper AArch64 NOPs.
