ARM: 9197/1: spectre-bhb: fix loop8 sequence for Thumb2
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 3cfb301 ]

In Thumb2, 'b . + 4' produces a branch instruction that uses a narrow
encoding, and so it does not jump to the following instruction as
expected. So use W(b) instead.

Fixes: 6c7cb60 ("ARM: fix Thumb2 regression with Spectre BHB")
