m68k: always set stack frame format for ColdFire on thread start

2012-10-01T04:44:43+00:00

The stack frame "format" field needs to be explicitly set on thread creation
on ColdFire. For a normal long word aligned user stack pointer the frame
format is 0x4.

We were doing this for non-MMU ColdFire, but not for the case with MMU enabled.
So fix it so we always do it if targeting ColdFire.

The old code happend to rely on the stack frame format being inhereted from
the process calling exec. Furture changes means that may not always work,
so we really do want to set it explicitly.

fork: move the real prepare_to_copy() users to arch_dup_task_struct()

2012-05-16T22:16:26+00:00

Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of
the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended
register state like fpu there.

Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.

m68k: add TASK definitions for ColdFires running with MMU

2011-12-30T00:20:20+00:00

Add appropriate TASK_SIZE and TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE definitions for running
on ColdFire V4e cores with MMU enabled.

m68k: remove thread_info struct from thread struct

2011-12-24T11:47:56+00:00

Currently on m68k we have a comeplete thread_info structure stored inside
of the thread_struct, and we also have it in the initial part of the kernel
stack. Mostly the code currently uses the one inside of the thread_struct,
only using the "task" pointer from the stack based one.

This is wasteful and confusing, we should only have the single instance of
thread_info inside the stack page. And this is the norm for all other
architectures.

This change makes m68k handle thread_info consistently on both MMU enabled
and non-MMU setups.

m68k: merge the mmu and non-mmu traps.c files

2011-10-18T04:22:25+00:00

The code for handling traps in the non-mmu case is a subset of the mmu
enabled case. Merge the non-mmu traps_no.c code back to a single traps.c.
There is actually no code mmu specific here at all, and the processor
specific code (for the more complex 68020/68030/68040/68060) is already
proplerly conditionaly used.

The format of console exception dump is a little different, but I don't
think will cause any one problems, it is purely for debug purposes.

m68k, exec: remove redundant set_fs(USER_DS)

2011-07-26T03:57:12+00:00

The address limit is already set in flush_old_exec() so those calls to
set_fs(USER_DS) are redundant.

m68k: Add helper function handle_kernel_fault()

2011-03-16T18:10:40+00:00

Add helper function handle_kernel_fault() in signal.c, so frame_extra_sizes
can become static, and to avoid future code duplication.

m68knommu: use user stack pointer hardware on some ColdFire cores

2011-01-05T05:19:18+00:00

The more modern ColdFire parts (even if based on older version cores)
have separate user and supervisor stack pointers (a7 register).
Modify the ColdFire CPU setup and exception code to enable and use
this on parts that have it.

m68knommu: remove size limit on non-MMU TASK_SIZE

2010-05-24T03:29:54+00:00

The TASK_SIZE define is used in some places as a limit on the size of
the virtual address space of a process. On non-MMU systems those addresses
used in comparison will be physical addresses, and they could be anywhere
in the 32bit physical address space. So for !CONFIG_MMU systems set the
TASK_SIZE to the maximum physical address.
