From 05870abeaac0588fb9115cfd11f96880a0af2108 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rich Felker Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2019 13:13:57 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] fix code path where child function returns in arm __clone built as thumb mov lr,pc is not a valid way to save the return address in thumb mode since it omits the thumb bit. use a chain of bl and bx to emulate blx. this could be avoided by converting to a .S file with preprocessor conditions to use blx if available, but the time cost here is dominated by the syscall anyway. while making this change, also remove the remnants of support for pre-bx ISA levels. commit 9f290a49bf9ee247d540d3c83875288a7991699c removed the hack from the parent code paths, but left the unnecessary code in the child. keeping it would require rewriting two code paths rather than one, and is useless for reasons described in that commit. --- src/thread/arm/clone.s | 10 +++------- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/thread/arm/clone.s b/src/thread/arm/clone.s index e16b1326..bb0965da 100644 --- a/src/thread/arm/clone.s +++ b/src/thread/arm/clone.s @@ -20,13 +20,9 @@ __clone: bx lr 1: mov r0,r6 - tst r5,#1 - bne 1f - mov lr,pc - mov pc,r5 + bl 3f 2: mov r7,#1 svc 0 - -1: mov lr,pc - bx r5 b 2b + +3: bx r5 -- 2.25.1
