[PATCH 3.12 014/123] ARM: 7880/1: Clear the IT state independent of the Thumb-2 mode

Show all headers | View raw

From: "T.J. Purtell" <tj@mobisocial.us>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit 6ecf830e5029598732e04067e325d946097519cb upstream.

The ARM architecture reference specifies that the IT state bits in the
PSR must be all zeros in ARM mode or behavior is unspecified.  On the
Qualcomm Snapdragon S4/Krait architecture CPUs the processor continues
to consider the IT state bits while in ARM mode.  This makes it so
that some instructions are skipped by the CPU.
