[PATCH 01/11] MIPS: compressed: Use correct instruction for 64 bit code
Posted by Gregory CLEMENT 2 years, 3 months ago
The code clearing BSS already use macro or use correct instruction
depending id the CPU is 32 bits or 64 bits. However, a few
instructions remained 32 bits only.

By using the accurate MACRO, it is now possible to deal with memory
address beyond 32 bits. As a side effect, when using 64bits processor,
it also divides the loop number needed to clear the BSS by 2.
