    perf, ARM: Modify kuser rmb() call to compile for Thumb-2 · da7196e1
    Will Deacon authored
    The Thumb-2 instruction set does not provide an encoding
    for sub pc, r0, #95 as present in the rmb() definition used
    by perf. This results in compilation failure when using a
    compiler targetting an instruction set other than ARM.
    
    This patch redefines rmb() for ARM by casting the address
    of the kuser helper to a function pointer, therefore getting
    the compiler to take care of making the call.
    
    Patch taken against tip/master.
