2007-04-27	[AVR32] Optimize the TLB miss handler	Haavard Skinnemoen	1	-30/+24
	Reorder some instructions and change the register usage to reduce the number of pipeline stalls. Also use the bfextu and bfins instructions for bitfield manipulations instead of shifting and masking. This makes gzipping a 80MB file approximately 2% faster.

2007-04-27	[AVR32] Fix NMI handler	Haavard Skinnemoen	1	-3/+25
	Fix a problem with the NMI handler entry code related to the NMI handler sharing some code with the exception handlers. This is not a good idea because the RSR and RAR registers are not the same, and the NMI handler runs with interrupts masked the whole time so there's no need to check for pending work. Open-code the low-level NMI handling logic instead so that the pt_regs layout is actually correct when the higher-level handler is called. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
2007-04-27	[AVR32] Put cpu in sleep 0 when idle.	Hans-Christian Egtvedt	1	-5/+37
	This patch puts the CPU in sleep 0 when doing nothing, idle. This will turn of the CPU clock and thus save power. The CPU is waken again when an interrupt occurs. Signed-off-by: Hans-Christian Egtvedt <hcegtvedt@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
2006-09-26	[PATCH] avr32 architecture	Haavard Skinnemoen	1	-0/+678
	This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000 CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board. AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures. The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from Atmel. Full data sheet is available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918 including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for booting from SD card. Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for avr32-linux. This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
