* Blackfin arch: fix endless loop bug when a double fault happensRobin Getz2007-10-091-15/+54
| | | | | | | | | | | Today when a double fault happens (exception during an exception handling event), we go into an endless loop, with nothing comming out the UART. With this patch, we actually see that we have commited a double fault event Signed-off-by: Robin Getz <robin.getz@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>
* Blackfin arch: add an exception request/free apiMike Frysinger2007-08-051-20/+22
| | | | | | | | | | add an exception request/free api similar to the interrupt request/fre api so people can utilize the free software based exceptions for their own purposes Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <michael.frysinger@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | kernel - allow people to select the feature that is unavailable to the kernel: NMI, JTAG, or CYCLES. - change default NMI handler to simply dump hardware trace buffer. - remove default NMI handler completely as calling into kernel code is not safe move example handler to wiki so people dont haphazardly copy and paste this stuff thinking its safe Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <michael.frysinger@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>
* Blackfin arch: Add ability to expend the hardware trace bufferRobin Getz2007-07-251-0/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add ability to expend the hardware trace buffer via a configurable software buffer - so you can have lots of history when a crash occurs. The interesting way we do printk in the traps.c confusese the checking script Signed-off-by: Robin Getz <robin.getz@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>
* Blackfin arch: revise anomaly handling by basing things on the compiler not ↵Mike Frysinger2007-07-251-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | the kconfig defines revise anomaly handling by basing things on the compiler not the kconfig defines, so the header is stable and usable outside of the kernel. This also allows us to move some code from preprocessing to compiling (gcc culls dead code) which should help with code quality (readability, catch minor bugs, etc...).

* Blackfin arch: add some missing syscallBryan Wu2007-09-231-4/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | When compiling the Blackfin kernel, checksyscalls.pl will report lots of missing syscalls warnings. This patch will add some missing syscalls which make sense on Blackfin arch After appling this patch, toolchain should be rebuilt. Then recompiling the kernel with the new toolchain.

* Blackfin arch: Clean up trace buffer handling, No major functional changes.Robin Getz2007-06-211-26/+7

* Blackfin arch: defines and provides entry points for certain user space ↵Bernd Schmidt2007-06-211-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | functions at fixed addresses This patch defines (and provides) entry points for certain user space functions at fixed addresses. The Blackfin has no usable atomic instructions, but we can ensure that these code sequences appear atomic from a user space point of view by detecting when we're in the process of executing them during the interrupt handler return path. This allows much more efficient pthread lock implementations than the bfin_spinlock syscall we're currently using. Also provided is a small sys_rt_sigreturn stub which can be used by the signal handler setup code. The signal.c part will be committed separately.

* Blackfin arch: fix signal handling bugBernd Schmidt2007-05-211-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a forum thread at https://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/forum/?action=ForumBrowse&_forum_action=MessageReply&message_id=24741 which has a testcase involving signal handling that crashes quite readily. Inspecting the code I believe what happens is that signal handling can become confused when it is invoked on return from an interrupt, if the contents of P0 and R0 at the time of the interrupt happen to be such that P0 is larger than zero (indicating to the signal code that we're in a syscall), and R0 happens to have a value of something like -EINTR or -ERESTARTSYS. Fixed by setting orig_p0 to -1 if we're returning from an interrupt. The testcase now seems to run without problems.

This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561 (Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP, BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix! Tinyboards. The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in December of 2000. Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin processor family of devices. The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean, orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set. It combines a dual-MAC (Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single instruction-set architecture. The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete documentation, including "getting started" guides available at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for bfin-linux-uclibc This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution, uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at: http://blackfin.uclinux.org/ We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can be found at: http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel [m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl: balance parenthesis in blackfin header files] Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Signed-off-by: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Jie Zhang <jie.zhang@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
