This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ARM: 7670/1: fix the memset fix to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From af3ce6c40cd31901efde6ed0a8337fe8eb0a5f48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Date: Tue, 12 Mar 2013 13:00:42 +0100 Subject: ARM: 7670/1: fix the memset fix MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit commit 418df63adac56841ef6b0f1fcf435bc64d4ed177 upstream. Commit 455bd4c430b0 ("ARM: 7668/1: fix memset-related crashes caused by recent GCC (4.7.2) optimizations") attempted to fix a compliance issue with the memset return value. However the memset itself became broken by that patch for misaligned pointers. This fixes the above by branching over the entry code from the misaligned fixup code to avoid reloading the original pointer. Also, because the function entry alignment is wrong in the Thumb mode compilation, that fixup code is moved to the end. While at it, the entry instructions are slightly reworked to help dual issue pipelines.
