m68k: always make available dump_fpu()

2016-09-26T02:02:59+00:00

Our local m68k architecture dump_fpu() is conditionally compiled in on
CONFIG_FPU. That is OK for all existing MMU enabled CPU types, but won't
handle the case for some ColdFire SoC CPU parts that we want to support
that have no FPU hardware.

dump_fpu() is expected to be present by the ELF loader, so we must always
have it available and exported.

Remove the conditional and reorganize the dump_fpu hard FPU code path
to let the compiler remove code when not needed.

This change based on changes and discussion from Yannick Gicquel

m68k: switch to generic sys_execve()/kernel_execve()

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

The tricky part here is that task_pt_regs() on m68k works *only* for
process inside do_signal().  However, we need something much simpler -
pt_regs of a process inside do_signal() may be at different offsets
from the stack bottom, depending on the way we'd entered the kernel,
but for a task inside sys_execve() it *is* at constant offset.
Moreover, for a kernel thread about to become a userland process the
same location is also fine - setting sp to that will leave the kernel
stack pointer at the very bottom of the kernel stack when we finally
switch to userland.

m68k: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop

2012-09-23T14:44:47+00:00

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered
as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and
more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical
section have been added even in the code of some
architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example.

So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must
be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part
in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side
critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU
in low power mode.

This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in
idle in order to complete grace periods.

Add this missing pair of calls in the m68k's idle loop.
