2013-02-15ARC: DWARF2 .debug_frame based stack unwinderVineet Gupta1-0/+9
-Originally written by Rajeshwar Ranga -Derived off of generic unwinder in 2.6.19 and adapted to ARC Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Rajeshwar Ranga <rajeshwar.ranga@gmail.com>
2013-02-15ARC: SMP supportVineet Gupta1-0/+4
ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions. ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This includes: -Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI) -Cache coherency -load-locked/store-conditional ... The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler prologues to keep them re-entrant. Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012). Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is addressed in subsequent patches within this series.

2013-02-15ARC: Support for high priority interrupts in the in-core intcVineet Gupta1-0/+117
There is a bit of hack/kludge right now where we disable preemption if a L2 (High prio) IRQ is taken while L1 (Low prio) is active. Need to revisit this Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

2013-02-15ARC: [Review] Preparing to fix incorrect syscall restarts due to signalsVineet Gupta1-2/+2
To avoid multiple syscall restarts (multiple signals) or no restart at all (sigreturn), we need just an extra bit of state "literally 1 bit" in struct pt_regs. orig_r8 is the best place to do this, however given the way it is encoded currently, we can't add anything simplistically. Current orig_r8: * syscalls -> 1 to NR_SYSCALLS * Exceptions -> NR_SYSCALLS + 1 * Break-point-> NR_SYSCALLS + 2 In new scheme it is a bit-field * lower short word contains the exact event type (and a new bit to represent restart semantics : if syscall was already / can't be restarted) * upper short word optionally containing the syscall num - needed by likes of tracehooks etc This patch only changes how orig_r8 is organised and nothing should change behaviourily.

2013-02-15ARC: Signal handlingVineet Gupta1-3/+8
Includes following fixes courtesy review by Al-Viro * Tracer poke to Callee-regs were lost Before going off into do_signal( ) we save the user-mode callee regs (as they are not saved by default as part of pt_regs). This is to make sure that that a Tracer (if tracing related signal) is able to do likes of PEEKUSR(callee-reg). However in return path we were simply discarding the user-mode callee regs, which would break a POKEUSR(callee-reg) from a tracer. * Issue related to multiple syscall restarts are addressed in next patch Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> Acked-by: Jonas Bonn <jonas@southpole.se>
