From b0dd9c02d476162340ad60fc96befa817fa8fe9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marc Zyngier Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2015 14:36:23 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Rework alternate sequence for ARM erratum 845719 The workaround for erratum 845719 is currently using a branch between two alternate sequences, which is quite fragile, and that we are going to break as we rework the alternative code. This patch reworks the workaround to fit in a single alternative sequence. The generated code itself is unchanged.
