From: Marc Zyngier marc.zyngier@arm.com
Commit ded4c39e93f3 upstream.
Function identifiers are a 32bit, unsigned quantity. But we never tell so to the compiler, resulting in the following:
4ac: b26187e0 mov x0, #0xffffffff80000001
We thus rely on the firmware narrowing it for us, which is not always a reasonable expectation.
