From: Dave Martin Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 11:06:59 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ARM: 6655/1: Correct WFE() in asm/spinlock.h for Thumb-2 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=917692f5f7ec63de3b093c825913d68e910db282;p=linux-beck.git ARM: 6655/1: Correct WFE() in asm/spinlock.h for Thumb-2 The content for ALT_SMP() in the definition of WFE() expands to 6 bytes (IT cc ; WFEcc.W), which breaks the assumptions of the fixup code, leading to lockups when the affected code gets run. This patch works around the problem by explicitly using an IT + WFEcc.N pair.
