Remove heading and trailing spaces, trim trailing lines, and wrap lines
that are longer than 80 characters.

audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce burden on archs

2012-01-17T21:16:56+00:00

Every arch calls:

if (unlikely(current->audit_context))
	audit_syscall_entry()

which requires knowledge about audit (the existance of audit_context) in
the arch code.  Just do it all in static inline in audit.h so that arch's
can remain blissfully ignorant.

xtensa: prevent arbitrary read in ptrace

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

Prevent an arbitrary kernel read.  Check the user pointer with access_ok()
before copying data in.

ptrace: change signature of arch_ptrace()

2010-10-28T01:03:10+00:00

Fix up the arguments to arch_ptrace() to take account of the fact that
@addr and @data are now unsigned long rather than long as of a preceding
patch in this series.

xtensa: use generic ptrace_resume code

2010-03-12T23:52:39+00:00

Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in  and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.

[XTENSA] Allow debugger to modify the WINDOWBASE register.

2008-02-14T01:45:36+00:00

For the 'return' command, GDB needs to adjust WINDOWBASE.
In case WB is different from 0, we need to rotate the
window register file and update WINDOWSTART and WMASK.
This patch also removes some ret|= statements for
__get_user/__put_user as the address range was alrady
checked a couple of lines earlier.

[XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessors

2008-02-14T01:41:43+00:00

The Xtensa architecture allows to define custom instructions and
registers. Registers that are bound to a coprocessor are only
accessible if the corresponding enable bit is set, which allows
to implement a 'lazy' context switch mechanism. Other registers
needs to be saved and restore at the time of the context switch
or during interrupt handling.

This patch adds support for these additional states:

- save and restore registers that are used by the compiler upon
  interrupt entry and exit.
- context switch additional registers unbound to any coprocessor
- 'lazy' context switch of registers bound to a coprocessor
- ptrace interface to provide access to additional registers
- update configuration files in include/asm-xtensa/variant-fsf
