From b11fe38883d1de76f2f847943e085a808f83f189 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Sat, 12 Feb 2011 22:25:27 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 6663/1: make Thumb2 kernel entry point more similar to the ARM one Some installers would binary patch the kernel zImage to replace the first few nops with custom instructions. This breaks the Thumb2 kernel as the mode switch is right at the beginning. Let's move it towards the end of the nop sequence instead.
