Vincent Whitchurch afc9f65e01 ARM: 8781/1: Fix Thumb-2 syscall return for binutils 2.29+
When building the kernel as Thumb-2 with binutils 2.29 or newer, if the
assembler has seen the .type directive (via ENDPROC()) for a symbol, it
automatically handles the setting of the lowest bit when the symbol is
used with ADR.  The badr macro on the other hand handles this lowest bit
manually.  This leads to a jump to a wrong address in the wrong state
in the syscall return path:

 Internal error: Oops - undefined instruction: 0 [#2] SMP THUMB2

To fix this, add a new symbol name which doesn't have ENDPROC used on it
and use that with badr.  We can't remove the badr usage since that would
would cause breakage with older binutils.

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

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.
