linux-toradex.git/include/asm-xtensa/thread_info.h, branch v2.6.25.12 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules [XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessors 2008-02-14T01:41:43+00:00 Chris Zankel chris@zankel.net 2008-02-12T21:17:07+00:00 c658eac628aa8df040dfe614556d95e6da3a9ffb 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 <chris@zankel.net> 
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] clean-up header files 2007-06-01T00:47:01+00:00 Chris Zankel chris@zankel.net 2007-06-01T00:47:01+00:00 de4f6e5b41bef50fc981410ae8380f27f4e93bf8 The header files in the asm-xtensa directory are not clean and 'make headers_check' fails. This is a first patch to fix most of the header files. It removes unnecessary include statements and adds some that are required for building the kernel. The linker script required some updates or the linking stage would fail. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>
