Merge branch '2023-11-10-improve-semihosting-armv6' into next
To quote the author: This series has a few fixes for semihosting on ARMv6 and older CPUs. The first two patches address problems regarding the stack pointer and link register. U-Boot runs in supervisor mode, so taking a software interrupt will clobber sp/lr. I think we really should run in system mode, since it has separate sp/lr registers. To quote ARM DDI 0100I: > The remaining mode is System mode, which is not entered by any > exception and has exactly the same registers available as User mode. > However, it is a privileged mode and is therefore not subject to the > User mode restrictions. It is intended for use by operating system > tasks that need access to system resources, but wish to avoid using > the additional registers associated with the exception modes. Avoiding > such use ensures that the task state is not corrupted by the > occurrence of any exception. However, the processor mode has been supervisor for such a long time (since relocation got introduced) that I would rather not touch it.
