xtensa: add support for TLS

2013-02-24T03:35:57+00:00

The Xtensa architecture provides a global register called THREADPTR
for the purpose of Thread Local Storage (TLS) support. This allows us
to use a fairly simple implementation, keeping the thread pointer in
the regset and simply saving and restoring it upon entering/exiting
the from user space.

xtensa: clean up files to make them code-style compliant

2012-12-19T05:10:25+00:00

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

xtensa: save and restore scompare1 SR on kernel entry

2012-12-19T05:10:22+00:00

Although scompare1 may be saved/restored by xchal_ncp_{load,store}
macros, explicit save/restore of registers manipulated by the kernel
itself is considered more correct.

xtensa: Shuffle include statements to fix linker script

2010-05-02T08:05:13+00:00

The linker script was including assembly macros from the coprocessor
header file that is not otherwise used by the script.

[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

[XTENSA] Add support for cache-aliasing

2007-08-27T20:54:16+00:00

Add support for processors that have cache-aliasing issues, such as
the Stretch S5000 processor. Cache-aliasing means that the size of
the cache (for one way) is larger than the page size, thus, a page
can end up in several places in cache depending on the virtual to
physical translation. The method used here is to map a user page
temporarily through the auto-refill way 0 and of of the DTLB.
We probably will want to revisit this issue and use a better
approach with kmap/kunmap.

[XTENSA] Remove non-rt signal handling

2007-06-01T00:49:32+00:00

The non-rt signal handling was never really used, so we don't break
anything. This patch also cleans up the signal stack-frame to make
it independent from the processor configuration. It also improves
the method used for controlling single-stepping. We now save and
restore the 'icountlevel' register that controls single stepping
and set or clear the saved state to enable or disable it.

rename thread_info to stack

2007-05-09T19:30:56+00:00

This finally renames the thread_info field in task structure to stack, so that
the assumptions about this field are gone and archs have more freedom about
placing the thread_info structure.

Nonbroken archs which have a proper thread pointer can do the access to both
current thread and task structure via a single pointer.

It'll allow for a few more cleanups of the fork code, from which e.g.  ia64
could benefit.
