2011-03-18MN10300: Emulate single stepping in KGDB on MN10300David Howells
Emulate single stepping in KGDB on MN10300 by way of temporary breakpoint insertion. These breakpoints are never actually seen by KGDB, and will overlay KGDB's own breakpoints. The breakpoints are removed by switch_to() and reinstalled on switching back so that if preemption occurs, the preempting task doesn't hit them (though it will still hit KGDB's regular breakpoints). If KGDB is reentered for any reason, then the single step breakpoint is completely erased and must be set again by the debugger. We take advantage of the fact that KGDB will effectively halt all other CPUs whilst this CPU is single-stepping to avoid SMP problems. If the single-stepping task is preempted and killed without KGDB being reinvoked, then the breakpoint(s) will be cleared and KGDB will be jumped back into.

2010-10-27MN10300: Save frame pointer in thread_info struct rather than global varDavid Howells
Save the current exception frame pointer in the thread_info struct rather than in a global variable as the latter makes SMP tricky, especially when preemption is also enabled. This also replaces __frame with current_frame() and rearranges header file inclusions to make it all compile.

2010-10-27MN10300: And Panasonic AM34 subarch and implement SMPAkira Takeuchi
Implement the Panasonic MN10300 AM34 CPU subarch and implement SMP support for MN10300. Also implement support for the MN2WS0060 processor and the ASB2364 evaluation board which are AM34 based.

2008-02-08mn10300: add the MN10300/AM33 architecture to the kernelDavid Howells
Add architecture support for the MN10300/AM33 CPUs produced by MEI to the kernel. This patch also adds board support for the ASB2303 with the ASB2308 daughter board, and the ASB2305. The only processor supported is the MN103E010, which is an AM33v2 core plus on-chip devices.
