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/Makefile | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/arm/Makefile') diff --git a/arch/arm/Makefile b/arch/arm/Makefile index e84729bf13d4..1167a4e8c7a8 100644 --- a/arch/arm/Makefile +++ b/arch/arm/Makefile @@ -11,6 +11,9 @@ # Copyright (C) 1995-2001 by Russell King LDFLAGS_vmlinux :=-p --no-undefined -X +ifeq ($(CONFIG_CPU_ENDIAN_BE8),y) +LDFLAGS_vmlinux += --be8 +endif CPPFLAGS_vmlinux.lds = -DTEXT_OFFSET=$(TEXT_OFFSET) OBJCOPYFLAGS :=-O binary -R .note -R .note.gnu.build-id -R .comment -S GZFLAGS :=-9 -- cgit v1.2.3
