Description
nueSpinLockPatcher patches out the spinlock function in HTC drivers and the Kernel (nk.exe) with a new version that does not use the SWP instruction. The SWP instruction is deprecated in ARMv6 because of performance issues (see
ARM infocenter here) .
nueSpinLockPatcher is designed for use by ROM cooks/chefs. It is not intended to be run on your device. Ideally you would want to patch:
OEMDrivers
nk.exe S000
smem.dll s000
nueSpinLockPatcher automatically patches all modules in OEMDrivers as well.
Be sure to backup your files as not all devices are compatible with the LDREXB/STREXB instruction used. Version History 1.0 First Release
1.1 Added support for patching smem.dll, does not affect relocation sections, patches INTERRUPTS_OFF, INTERRUPTS_ON branches with CPSID or CPSIE instructions.
