When ARMv6 is enabled, we build the kernel with -march=armv6 or -march=armv6k, which means the bfi instruction is not available. Instead, it only works with -march=armv6t2 or -march=armv7-a. Without this patch, building rand-enIHAOL results in: /tmp/ccwCsCXC.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccwCsCXC.s:49: Error: selected processor does not support ARM mode `bfi r3,r2,#0,#8' Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Will Deacon <redacted> Cc: Russell King <redacted> --- arch/arm/Kconfig.debug | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)diff --git a/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug b/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug index f15f82b..11b9ff4 100644 --- a/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug +++ b/arch/arm/Kconfig.debug@@ -398,6 +398,7 @@ config ARM_KPROBES_TEST config PID_IN_CONTEXTIDR bool "Write the current PID to the CONTEXTIDR register" depends on CPU_COPY_V6 + depends on CPU_V7 && !CPU_V6 help Enabling this option causes the kernel to write the current PID to the PROCID field of the CONTEXTIDR register, at the expense of some
Nah, I'll fix the contextidr_notifier instead. I forgot that this stuff gets used on non-SMP v6 platforms. Cheers, Will
