[PATCH 3.2 079/164] MIPS: ftrace: Fix a microMIPS build problem

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Fri Dec 12 2014 - 01:29:54 EST


3.2.65-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Markos Chandras <markos.chandras@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit aedd153f5bb5b1f1d6d9142014f521ae2ec294cc upstream.

Code before the .fixup section needs to have the .insn directive.
This has no side effects on MIPS32/64 but it affects the way microMIPS
loads the address for the return label.

Fixes the following build problem:
mips-linux-gnu-ld: arch/mips/built-in.o: .fixup+0x4a0: Unsupported jump between
ISA modes; consider recompiling with interlinking enabled.
mips-linux-gnu-ld: final link failed: Bad value
Makefile:819: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed

The fix is similar to 1658f914ff91c3bf ("MIPS: microMIPS:
Disable LL/SC and fix linker bug.")
