At the moment, the earlyprintk messages are interleaved with the instructions. This makes more difficult to read the objdump output. Introduce a new macro to add a string in .rodata.str and use it for all the earlyprintk messages. Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <julien.grall@arm.com> --- I haven't done a similar change in arm32 yet because the compiler will throw an error when using 'adr' when load an address from a different section (see A5-200 in ARM DDI 0406C.a for the technical reason). The change is likely to be more elaborate. --- xen/arch/arm/arm64/head.S | 14 +++++--------- xen/include/asm-arm/asm_defns.h | 5 +++++ 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
