FRV: arrange things such that BRA can reach from the trap table

2007-11-29T17:24:54+00:00

Arrange the sections in the FRV arch so that a BRA instruction with a
16-bit displacement can always reach from the trap table to entry.S,
tlb-miss.S and break.S.

The problem otherwise is that the linker can insert sufficient code between
the slots in the trap table and the targets of the branch instructions in
those slots that the displacement field in the instruction isn't
sufficiently large.  This is because the branch targets were in the .text
section along with most of the other code in the kernel.

FRV: Miscellaneous fixes

2007-05-09T03:41:14+00:00

Miscellaneous fixes to bring FRV up to date:

 (1) Copy the new syscall numbers from i386 to asm-frv/unistd.h and fill out
     the syscall table in entry.S too.

 (2) Mark __frv_uart0 and __frv_uart1 __pminitdata rather than __initdata so
     that determine_clocks() can access them when CONFIG_PM=y.

 (3) Make arch/frv/mm/elf-fdpic.c include asm/mman.h so that MAP_FIXED is
     available (fixes commit 2fd3bebaad9da3b3b99c46a3389099424bf7ee35).

[PATCH] frv: define MMU mode specific syscalls as 'cond_syscall' and clean up unneeded macros

2006-04-11T13:18:33+00:00

For some architectures, a few syscalls are not linked in noMMU mode.  In
that case, the MMU depending syscalls are needed to be defined as
'cond_syscall'.  For example, ARM architecture selectively links sys_mlock
by the mode configuration.

In case of FRV, it has been managed by #ifdef CONFIG_MMU macro in
arch/frv/kernel/entry.S.  However these conditional macros are just
duplicates if they were defined as cond_syscall.  Compilation test is done
with FRV toolchains for both of MMU and noMMU mode.

[PATCH] FRV: Use virtual interrupt disablement

2006-02-15T00:09:35+00:00

Make the FRV arch use virtual interrupt disablement because accesses to the
processor status register (PSR) are relatively slow and because we will
soon have the need to deal with multiple interrupt controls at the same
time (separate h/w and inter-core interrupts).

The way this is done is to dedicate one of the four integer condition code
registers (ICC2) to maintaining a virtual interrupt disablement state
whilst inside the kernel.  This uses the ICC2.Z flag (Zero) to indicate
whether the interrupts are virtually disabled and the ICC2.C flag (Carry)
to indicate whether the interrupts are physically disabled.

ICC2.Z is set to indicate interrupts are virtually disabled.  ICC2.C is set
to indicate interrupts are physically enabled.  Under normal running
conditions Z==0 and C==1.

Disabling interrupts with local_irq_disable() doesn't then actually
physically disable interrupts - it merely sets ICC2.Z to 1.  Should an
interrupt then happen, the exception prologue will note ICC2.Z is set and
branch out of line using one instruction (an unlikely BEQ).  Here it will
physically disable interrupts and clear ICC2.C.

When it comes time to enable interrupts (local_irq_enable()), this simply
clears the ICC2.Z flag and invokes a trap #2 if both Z and C flags are
clear (the HI integer condition).  This can be done with the TIHI
conditional trap instruction.

The trap then physically reenables interrupts and sets ICC2.C again.  Upon
returning the interrupt will be taken as interrupts will then be enabled.
Note that whilst processing the trap, the whole exceptions system is
disabled, and so an interrupt can't happen till it returns.

If no pending interrupt had happened, ICC2.C would still be set, the HI
condition would not be fulfilled, and no trap will happen.

Saving interrupts (local_irq_save) is simply a matter of pulling the ICC2.Z
flag out of the CCR register, shifting it down and masking it off.  This
gives a result of 0 if interrupts were enabled and 1 if they weren't.

Restoring interrupts (local_irq_restore) is then a matter of taking the
saved value mentioned previously and XOR'ing it against 1.  If it was one,
the result will be zero, and if it was zero the result will be non-zero.
This result is then used to affect the ICC2.Z flag directly (it is a
condition code flag after all).  An XOR instruction does not affect the
Carry flag, and so that bit of state is unchanged.  The two flags can then
be sampled to see if they're both zero using the trap (TIHI) as for the
unconditional reenablement (local_irq_enable).

This patch also:

 (1) Modifies the debugging stub (break.S) to handle single-stepping crossing
     into the trap #2 handler and into virtually disabled interrupts.

 (2) Removes superseded fixup pointers from the second instructions in the trap
     tables (there's no a separate fixup table for this).

 (3) Declares the trap #3 vector for use in .org directives in the trap table.

 (4) Moves irq_enter() and irq_exit() in do_IRQ() to avoid problems with
     virtual interrupt handling, and removes the duplicate code that has now
     been folded into irq_exit() (softirq and preemption handling).

 (5) Tells the compiler in the arch Makefile that ICC2 is now reserved.

 (6) Documents the in-kernel ABI, including the virtual interrupts.

 (7) Renames the old irq management functions to different names.

[PATCH] FRV: Miscellaneous fixes

2006-02-15T00:09:35+00:00

Make various alterations and fixes to the FRV arch:

 (1) Resyncs the FRV system call collection with the i386 arch.

 (2) Discards __iounmap() as it's not used.

 (3) Fixes the use of the SWAP/SWAPI instruction to get the arguments the right
     way around in atomic.h, and also to get the asm constraints correct.

 (4) Moves copy_to/from_user_page() to asm/cacheflush.h to be consistent with
     other archs.
