Subject: [PATCH] ARM: alignment: Use is_wide_instruction() to check wide instruction


I first notice the comment is incorrect, then I realize there's another
macro which do exactly the same thing.
Tested with hand written userspace program with a few wide instructions
to make sure this still work as expect.

8<-------------------------------------------------
do_alignment() is using locally added IS_T32() macro to check if an
instruction is a Thumb-2 32 bit instruction. The macro
is_wide_instruction() is doing the same thing, with slightly faster
implementation.
Change to use is_wide_instruction() in do_alignment() and remove
IS_T32().

The existing code is correct, but the comment is indeed wrong.
Consolidating this with one of the other existing macros makes sense.


!__opcode_is_thumb16() could also be used here (or is_wide_instruction()
redefined in terms of it), but that's not essential.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your review.

I did notice there are __opcode_is_thumb16/32. They need to handle
32bits instruction instead of 16bits only for is_wide_instruction, so I
think using same implementation for them is a different story.

No worries. It can be tidied up some more later if someone finds a good
reason for it.

Hi Russell,

Any suggestion about this patch?
Should I put this into your patch system?
