metag: ptrace: Implement NT_METAG_TLS

2013-03-27T14:37:47+00:00

Implement functionality to get the TLS pointer for the metag
architecture using regsets.

This provides multi-threaded debug support for GDB.

Pull new ImgTec Meta architecture from James Hogan:
 "This adds core architecture support for Imagination's Meta processor
  cores, followed by some later miscellaneous arch/metag cleanups and
  fixes which I kept separate to ease review:

   - Support for basic Meta 1 (ATP) and Meta 2 (HTP) core architecture
   - A few fixes all over, particularly for symbol prefixes
   - A few privilege protection fixes
   - Several cleanups (setup.c includes, split out a lot of
     metag_ksyms.c)
   - Fix some missing exports
   - Convert hugetlb to use vm_unmapped_area()
   - Copy device tree to non-init memory
   - Provide dma_get_sgtable()"

metag: ptrace

2013-03-02T20:09:22+00:00

The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
from the signal context.

struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
purpose register context.

struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
taking place.

struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
hand optimised data loops.

Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
aren't yet exposed through ptrace.

sun.com documentation fixes

2013-02-22T01:22:20+00:00

After I came across a help text for SUNGEM mentioning a broken sun.com
URL, I felt like fixing those up, as they are now pointing to oracle.com
URLs.
