[PATCH v6 05/28] powerpc: Change calling convention for create_branch() et. al.

Jordan Niethe jniethe5 at gmail.com
Tue Apr 28 11:57:51 AEST 2020


create_branch(), create_cond_branch() and translate_branch() return the
instruction that they create, or return 0 to signal an error. Separate
these concerns in preparation for an instruction type that is not just
an unsigned int.  Fill the created instruction to a pointer passed as
the first parameter to the function and use a non-zero return value to
signify an error.

v5: New to series
v6: - setup_32.c: machine_init(): change insn to unsigned int
    - Fix typo in commit message
    - __ftrace_make_call(): test for err not !err
