From a75e5248c51af1eaeed936be6bd3497b93f09685 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Martin Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2010 19:43:28 +0100 Subject: ARM: 6504/1: Thumb-2: Fix long-distance conditional branches in head.S for Thumb-2. The 32-bit conditional branches in Thumb-2 have a shorter range (+/-512K) than their ARM counterparts (+/-32MB). The linker does not currently generate trampolines to extend the range of these Thumb-2 conditional branches, resulting in link errors when vmlinux is sufficiently large, e.g.: head.o:(.text+0x464): relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP19 This patch forces the longer-range, unconditional branch encoding by use of an explicit IT instruction. The resulting branches are triggered on the same conditions as before.
