    Hmm - that's Thumb code.

    (1) Are you sure it recompiled?

    (2) Try -mno-thumb

    This code looks like it's either precompiled library or compiler support code; -marm only affects the code you actually compile, not the things it is linked with.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The function above calls the code in section .init to do some init work. How can I compile the source code totally into ARM instruction set,without any other instruction set?
    As you say,I have another question,if I had a ARM core which support ONLY ARM instruction set(there is no Thumb,thumb-2 and so on),but with MMU(which means can run LinuxOS),Can I compile the Linux kernel to run on that ARM core?

    Thanks for your reply.

    The source code was recompiled, with the -O2 -marm.I had tried the -mno-thumb,and recompiled again,but the ouput was the same.

    I don't believe ARM license such a core; all ARM cores for the past 15+ years have supported mixed ARM and Thumb code, so you may find this challenging.
    Given that you've got a Tegra2, why do you need this?
