+Subject: [PATCH] py/nlrthumb: Make non-Thumb2 long-jump workaround opt-in.
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Although the original motivation given for the workaround[1] is correct,
+nlr.o and nlrthumb.o are linked with a small enough distance that the
+problem does not occur, and the workaround isn't necessary. The distance
+between the b instruction and its target (nlr_push_tail) is just 64
+bytes[2], well within the ±2046 byte range addressable by an
+unconditional branch instruction in Thumb mode.
+
+The workaround induces a relocation in the text section (textrel), which
+isn't supported everywhere, notably not on musl-libc[3], where it causes
+a crash on start-up. With the workaround removed, micropython works on an
+ARMv5T Linux system built with musl-libc.
+
+This commit changes nlrthumb.c to use a direct jump by default, but
+leaves the long jump workaround as an option for those cases where it's
+actually needed.

+
+    py/nlrthumb: Get working again on standard Thumb arch (ie not Thumb2).
+
+    "b" on Thumb might not be long enough for the jump to nlr_push_tail so
+    it must be done indirectly.
