Ard Biesheuvel 06a4b6d009 ARM: 8677/1: boot/compressed: fix decompressor header layout for v7-M
As reported by Patrice, the header layout of the decompressor is
incorrect when building for v7-M. In this case, the __nop macro
resolves to 'mov r0, r0', which is emitted as a narrow encoding,
resulting in the header data fields to end up at lower offsets than
required.

Given the variety of targets we need to support with the same code,
the startup sequence is a bit of a jumble, and uses instructions
and macros whose encoding widths cannot be specified (badr), or only
exist in a narrow encoding (bx)

So force the use of a wide encoding in __nop, and replace the start
sequence with a simple jump to the label marking the start of code,
preceded by a Thumb2 mode switch if required (using explicit wide
encodings where appropriate). The label itself can be moved to the
start of code [where it belongs] due to the larger range of branch
instructions as compared to adr instructions.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
