We currently do not. Also make it easier to handle cplb violations - in traps.c

Print out debug info, as early as possible - even before the
kernel initializes the interrupt vectors. Now we can print out debug

Robin Getz 2ebcade590 Blackfin arch: fix endless loop bug when a double fault happens
Today when a double fault happens (exception during an exception
handling event), we go into an endless loop, with nothing comming out
the UART. With this patch, we actually see that we have commited a
double fault event

Mike Frysinger f0b5d12f2b Blackfin arch: allow people to select the feature that is unavailable to the kernel
- allow people to select the feature that is unavailable to the kernel: NMI, JTAG, or CYCLES.
 - change default NMI handler to simply dump hardware trace buffer.
 - remove default NMI handler completely as calling into kernel code is not safe
   move example handler to wiki so people dont haphazardly copy and paste this stuff thinking its safe

Mike Frysinger 1aafd90912 Blackfin arch: revise anomaly handling by basing things on the compiler not the kconfig defines
revise anomaly handling by basing things on the compiler not the kconfig defines,
so the header is stable and usable outside of the kernel. This also allows us to
move some code from preprocessing to compiling (gcc culls dead code)
which should help with code quality (readability, catch minor bugs, etc...).

Bryan Wu 0b95f22bd3 Blackfin arch: add some missing syscall
When compiling the Blackfin kernel, checksyscalls.pl will report lots of missing syscalls warnings.
This patch will add some missing syscalls which make sense on Blackfin arch

After appling this patch, toolchain should be rebuilt. Then recompiling the kernel with the new
toolchain.

Bernd Schmidt 7adfb58fbd Blackfin arch: defines and provides entry points for certain user space functions at fixed addresses
This patch defines (and provides) entry points for certain user space functions
at fixed addresses.  The Blackfin has no usable atomic instructions, but we can
ensure that these code sequences appear atomic from a user space point of view
by detecting when we're in the process of executing them during the interrupt
handler return path.  This allows much more efficient pthread lock
implementations than the bfin_spinlock syscall we're currently using.

Also provided is a small sys_rt_sigreturn stub which can be used by the signal
handler setup code.  The signal.c part will be committed separately.

Bernd Schmidt c824498db4 Blackfin arch: fix signal handling bug
There's a forum thread at
https://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/forum/?action=ForumBrowse&_forum_action=MessageReply&message_id=24741

which has a testcase involving signal handling that crashes quite readily.
Inspecting the code I believe what happens is that signal handling can become
confused when it is invoked on return from an interrupt, if the contents of
P0 and R0 at the time of the interrupt happen to be such that P0 is larger
than zero (indicating to the signal code that we're in a syscall), and R0
happens to have a value of something like -EINTR or -ERESTARTSYS.
Fixed by setting orig_p0 to -1 if we're returning from an interrupt.  The
testcase now seems to run without problems.

Bryan Wu 1394f03221 blackfin architecture
This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix!  Tinyboards.

The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc.  (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000.  Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices.  The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set.  It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.

The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf

The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc

This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/

We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=testing_the_linux_kernel
