2013-10-18ARC: Handle zero-overhead-loop in unaligned access handlerMischa Jonker
commit c11eb222fd7d4db91196121dbf854178505d2751 upstream. If a load or store is the last instruction in a zero-overhead-loop, and it's misaligned, the loop would execute only once. This fixes that problem. Signed-off-by: Mischa Jonker <mjonker@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2013-02-15ARC: Unaligned access emulationVineet Gupta
ARC700 doesn't natively support unaligned access, but can be emulated -Unaligned Access Exception -Disassembly at the Fault address to find the exact insn (long/short) Also per Arnd's comment, we runtime control it using 2 sysctl knobs: * SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_ALLOW: Runtime enable/disble * SYSCTL_ARCH_UNALIGN_NO_WARN: Warn on each emulation attempt Originally contributed by Tim Yao <tim.yao@amlogic.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Tim Yao <tim.yao@amlogic.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
