[XTENSA] Allow debugger to modify the WINDOWBASE register.

2008-02-14T01:45:36Z

For the 'return' command, GDB needs to adjust WINDOWBASE. In case WB is different from 0, we need to rotate the window register file and update WINDOWSTART and WMASK. This patch also removes some ret|= statements for __get_user/__put_user as the address range was alrady checked a couple of lines earlier. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel

[XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessors

2008-02-14T01:41:43Z

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 Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel

Consolidate PTRACE_DETACH

2007-10-16T16:42:49Z

Identical handlers of PTRACE_DETACH go into ptrace_request(). Not touching compat code. Not touching archs that don't call ptrace_request. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

PTRACE_POKEDATA consolidation

2007-07-17T17:23:03Z

Identical implementations of PTRACE_POKEDATA go into generic_ptrace_pokedata() function. AFAICS, fix bug on xtensa where successful PTRACE_POKEDATA will nevertheless return EPERM. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used

2007-05-08T18:15:07Z

Remove includes of where it is not used/needed. Suggested by Al Viro. Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc, sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs). Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] xtensa: fix system call interface

2006-12-10T17:55:39Z

This is a long outstanding patch to finally fix the syscall interface. The constants used for the system calls are those we have provided in our libc patches. This patch also fixes the shmbuf and stat structure, and fcntl definitions. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] xtensa: remove extra header files

2006-12-10T17:55:39Z

The Xtensa port contained many header files that were never needed. This rather lengthy patch removes all those files. Unfortunately, there were many dependencies that needed to be updated, so this patch touches quite a few source files.
