xtensa: Fix linker script to include .literal sections

2009-05-12T06:40:33+00:00

Fix resembles implementation from Marc Gauthier and Piet Denaly:

In the Xtensa architecture, assembly generates literals which must always
precede the code (the L32R instruction that loads them only uses negative
PC-relative offsets).  For any *.text section, literals are placed in a
corresponding *.literal section.  The linker script (vmlinux.lds) must
place these in the correct order.  It must also combine them, when the
*.text section can be larger than L32R's 256 kB range.

For example, this doesn't work:  *(.literal) *(.text) because L32R
instructions at the end of .text can't reach the literals.

The linker can solve this if they are combined in parentheses, like this:
       *(.literal .text)
because it is now allowed mix literals in .text to bring them in range.

None of this is done by standard vmlinux.lds.h macros such as TEXT_TEXT
and INIT_TEXT.  To avoid replicating the logic of that header file, we
instead post-process the generated linker script to convert *(xxx.text)
to *(xxx.literal xxx.text) for the following text sections:
       .text .ref.text .*init.text .*exit.text .text.*
using a sed script.  To do this we must override the default rule for
vmlinux.lds (see scripts/Makefile.build and the top-level Makefile)
to insert this extra step.

xtensa: update s6105_defconfig for ccount calibration

2009-05-12T05:00:22+00:00

The previous patch enabled ccount calibration for the s6000 variant.
This patch updates the defconfig for the s6105 platform to reflect this
change.

xtensa: implement ccount calibration for s6000

2009-05-12T05:00:17+00:00

Calculate core frequency from timers at boot time
instead of assuming a fixed frequency. This is
useful as the true frequency is set up by the
boot loader, thus variable.

xtensa: fix wrong extern declaration renamed in code using it

2009-05-12T05:00:11+00:00

The variable ccount_nsec has been renamed to nsec_per_ccount
in arch/xtensa/kernel/time.c in 2b8aea74 (2007-08-05),
but the fix failed to rename the variable in
arch/xtensa/include/asm/timex.h as well.

xtensa: register gpio chip before use

2009-05-12T05:00:07+00:00

Platform initialization sets up the LED heartbeat that is controlled
via GPIO.  Requesting the GPIO pins fails, however, as the chip is
only initialized later by a device_initcall().

Fix this up by exporting the initialization function.  Let the
platform set up the chip before it starts using it.

xtensa: always use correct stack pointer for stack traces

2009-05-12T04:59:43+00:00

Commit '28a0ce7 xtensa: use correct stack pointer for stack traces'
changed the stack tracer from always reading the stack pointer
register to always using the saved value in the task descriptor.

The author was too dense to consider the fact that the saved stack
value is stale for a running process und thus unusable for 'current'.

What we do now is to use the stack pointer register (a1) for when the
task is unknown - we can't help it then - or when the task is
'current'.  For everything else use the saved stack pointer value
contained in the task descriptor.

xtensa: Fix checksum header file

2009-05-12T04:48:23+00:00

We need to add a "memory" dependency (barrier) in assembly macros
that access (read or write) memory. Otherwise, the compiler might
ill-optimize the order of memory accesses.

xtensa: Fix architecture specific Kconfig

2009-05-12T04:48:17+00:00

Move a misplace endmenu marker to enable platform options and
disable PCI and automatic calibrating for the XT2K board. The
on-board PCI bridge is somewhat broken, anyway, and the
calibrating relies on some whacky usage of the serial port.
