[U-Boot] [PATCH v6] arm: support Thumb-1 with CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD

Stefan Roese sr at denx.de
Wed Sep 2 11:06:40 CEST 2015


From: Albert ARIBAUD <albert.u.boot at aribaud.net>

When building a Thumb-1-only target with CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD,
some files fail to build, most of the time because they include
mcr instructions, which only exist for Thumb-2.

This patch introduces a Kconfig option CONFIG_THUMB2 and uses
it to select between Thumb-2 and ARM mode for the aforementioned
files.

This patch is necessary for the SPEAr600 x600 U-Boot port to
fit into the onboard NOR flash again. Reducing the size by about
200KiB. So, if nothing is really missing here, then please
let's apply it after the v2015.10 release.

Thanks,
Stefan

Here the original comment from Albert, from v5:
This patch has been build-tested and run-tested on ED Mini V2,
above the "edmini: switch to SPL" patch, and found to reduce
U-Boot size by 25% and SPL size by 14%... and to run fine. 

This patch has also been tested against side effects on the
non-Thumb wireless_space target. The binaries produced with
and without this patch were found to differ only by their
version string.

Changes in v6 (by Stefan):
- Rebased on top of current mainline U-Boot
Changes in v5: None
Changes in v4: None
Changes in v3:
- added arch/arm/lib/mem{set,cpy}.S to the list of modules
  which should always be built in ARM state.
- Selected HAS_THUMB2 for CPU_V7M.
- Fixed invalidate_l2_cache() when building for Thumb-1.

Changes in v2:
- fixed a typo in the commit message
- added file arch/arm/thumb1/include/asm/proc-armv/system.h,
  which overrides arch/arm/include/asm/proc-armv/system.h
  when building for Thumb-1 and provides non-functional but
  Thumb-compilable IRQ and FIQ related macros and functions.
