avr32: fix out-of-range jump in large kernels

2013-11-20T08:53:21+00:00

This patch fixes following error (for big kernels):

---8<---
arch/avr32/boot/u-boot/head.o: In function `no_tag_table':
(.init.text+0x44): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `bad_return':
(.ex.text+0x236): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `panic' defined in .text.unlikely section in kernel/built-in.o
--->8---

It comes up when the kernel increases and 'panic()' is too far away to fit in
the +/- 2MiB range. Which in turn issues from the 21-bit displacement in
'br{cond4}' mnemonic which is one of the two ways to do jumps (rjmp has just
10-bit displacement and therefore a way smaller range). This fact was stated
before in 8d29b7b9f81d6b83d869ff054e6c189d6da73f1f.
One solution to solve this is to add a local storage for the symbol address
and just load the $pc with that value.

avr32: setup crt for early panic()

2013-11-20T08:53:21+00:00

Before the CRT was (fully) set up in kernel_entry (bss cleared before in
_start, but also not before jump to panic() in no_tag_table case).

This patch fixes this up to have a fully working CRT when branching to panic()
in no_tag_table.

Kbuild: centralize MKIMAGE and cmd_uimage definitions

2012-03-26T13:49:20+00:00

All ARCHs have the same definition of MKIMAGE. Move it to Makefile.lib
to avoid duplication.

All ARCHs have similar definitions of cmd_uimage. Place a sufficiently
parameterized version in Makefile.lib to avoid duplication.

avr32: remove .note.gnu.build-id section when making vmlinux.bin

2008-12-17T10:44:10+00:00

This patch will remove the section .note.gnu.build-id added in binutils
2.18 from the vmlinux.bin binary. Not removing this section results in a
huge multiple gigabyte binary and likewize large uImage.

[PATCH] AVR32: Minor Makefile cleanup

2006-10-26T03:26:32+00:00

Don't generate listing by default, remove unused LIBGCC variable and
rename generated disassembly and listing files to vmlinux.{s,lst}.

Also make sure that files generated during the build are actually
removed with make clean.

[PATCH] avr32 architecture

2006-09-26T15:48:54+00:00

This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density.  The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture.  It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit.  It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.

Full data sheet is available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf

while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf

Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918

including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.

Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.

This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
