8d29b7b9f8 avr32: Fix out-of-range rcalls in large kernels
Replace handcoded rcall instructions with the call pseudo-instruction.
For kernels too far over 1MB the rcall instruction can't reach and
linking will fail.  We already call the final linker with --relax which
converts call pseudo-instructions to the right things anyway.

This fixes

arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `syscall_exit_work':
(.ex.text+0x198): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `schedule' defined in .sched.text section in kernel/built-in.o
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fault_exit_work':
(.ex.text+0x3b6): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `schedule' defined in .sched.text section in kernel/built-in.o

But I'm still left with

arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x2): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+45a
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x8): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+8ea
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0xe): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+abe
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x14): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+ac8
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x1a): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+ad2
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x20): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+adc
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x26): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+ae6
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x2c): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+af0
arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x32): additional relocation overflows omitted from the output

These are caused by a similar problem with 'rjmp' instructions.
Unfortunately, there's no easy fix for these at the moment since we
don't have a arbitrary-range 'jmp' instruction similar to 'call'.

5f97f7f940 [PATCH] avr32 architecture
This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density.  The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture.  It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit.  It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.

Full data sheet is available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf

while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf

Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918

including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.

Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.

This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
