ARM Linux Kernel May Shift To Generic Entry Code: Less Assembly But Lower Performance
A pull request was sent out on Friday that could potentially land for the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel to transition ARM's kernel entry code from some architecture-specific Assembly over to using the generic entry code path
A pull request was sent out on Friday that could potentially land for the upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel to transition ARM's kernel entry code from some architecture-specific Assembly over to using the generic entry code path. Linus Walleij of Linaro has been pursuing this ARM generic entry effort and on Friday sent out a pull request looking to land this change. Linus Walleij sums up the effort of convering the ARM Linux kernel to using the generic entry code:
