[PATCH v2] ARM: vexpress: Use wfi macro in platform_do_lowpower.

From: Nick Bowler
Date: Mon Aug 22 2011 - 09:55:08 EST


Current Versatile Express CPU hotplug code includes a hardcoded WFI
instruction, in ARM encoding. When the kernel is compiled in Thumb-2
mode, this is invalid and causes the machine to hang hard when a CPU
is offlined.

Using the wfi macro (which uses the appropriate assembler mnemonic)
causes the correct instruction to be emitted in either case. As a
consequence of this change, an apparently vestigial "cc" clobber is
dropped from the asm (the macro uses "memory" only).

OK. If this version is acceptable, I'll follow up with patches for the
other platforms.
