<content type='text'>
Move all header files for xtensa to arch/xtensa/include and platform and
variant header files to the appropriate arch/xtensa/platforms/ and
arch/xtensa/variants/ directories.

Moving the files gets also rid of all uses of symlinks in the Makefile.

This has been completed already for the majority of the architectures
and xtensa is one out of six missing.

For processor configurations that have optional registers
(compiler-used but non-coprocessor), user space registers
might get corrupted when there are only 4 registers in
the current window-frame, ie. register a4 belongs to the
oldest frame in the register file.

<title>[XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessors</title>

<id>c658eac628aa8df040dfe614556d95e6da3a9ffb</id>
<content type='text'>
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

We will never (need to) support signal handling coming from a
double exception. There are too many things that could go wrong
and delivering signals is not the fastest method for IPC, anyway.

Register a2 is saved in depc but wasn't getting restored before
returning from _spill_registers when there weren't any registers
to spill. The mask to cut the top bit from the rotated WINDOWMASK
register was also one bit short.

<title>[XTENSA] Add support for cache-aliasing</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

Newer processor versions starting with Xtensa6/LX2 support an 'executable'
bit for memory pages. This bit replaces the 'valid' bit, so it must be
always set to one for older processor versions. To mark a page invalid, we now
set the cache-attributes to b11, which is backward compatible.

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.

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.
