[PATCH v8 7/9] ARM: lib: Annotate loop delay instructions for CFI

Linus Walleij linus.walleij at linaro.org
Tue Apr 23 00:19:53 PDT 2024


When we annotate the loop delay code with SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START()
a function prototype signature will be emitted into the object
file above each site called from C, and the delay loop code is
using "fallthroughs" from the different assembly callbacks. This
will not work as the execution flow will run into the prototype
signatures.

Rewrite the code to use explicit branches to the other code
segments and annotate the code using SYM_TYPED_FUNC_START().

Tested on the ARM Versatile which uses the calibrated loop delay.
