2016-10-08nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpusChris Metcalf
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

2016-09-30ARC: .exit.* sections can be discarded in .eh_frame regimeVineet Gupta
We used to keep the .exit.* sections as linker would fail in final link due to references from .debug_frame which itself could not be discardrd due to the forced "write,alloc" attributes for it. | LD init/built-in.o | `.exit.text' referenced in section `.debug_frame' of arch/arc/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of arch/arc/built-in.o | Makefile:949: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed With .debug_frame now retired, this hack is no longer needed. kernel binary is now a little bit smaller as well. closes STAR 9000549913 Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2016-09-30ARC: dw2 unwind: switch to .eh_frame based unwindingVineet Gupta
So finally after almost 8 years of dealing with .debug_frame, we are finally switching to .eh_frame. The reason being stripped kernel binaries had non-functional unwinder as .debug_frame was gone. Also, in general .eh_frame seems more common way of doing unwinding. This also folds a revert of f52e126cc747 ("ARC: unwind: ensure that .debug_frame is generated (vs. .eh_frame)") to ensure that we start getting .eh_frame Reported-by: Daniel Mentz <danielmentz@google.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2015-10-28ARC: boot: Support Halt-on-reset and Run-on-reset SMP booting modesVineet Gupta
For Run-on-reset, non masters need to spin wait. For Halt-on-reset they can jump to entry point directly. Also while at it, made reset vector handler as "the" entry point for kernel including host debugger based boot (which uses the ELF header entry point) Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

2013-06-27ARC: Adjustments for gcc 4.8Vineet Gupta
* DWARF unwinder related + Force DWARF2 compliant .debug_frame (gcc 4.8 defaults to DWARF4 which kernel unwinder can't grok). + Discard the additional .eh_frame generated + Discard the dwarf4 debug info generated by -gdwarf-2 for normal no debug case * 4.8 already uses arc600 multilibs for -mno-mpy * switch to using uclibc compiler (to get -mmedium-calls and -mno-sdata) and also since buildroot can only use 1 toolchain Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
2013-02-15ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #4: Isolate platform headersVineet Gupta
-Top level ARC makefile removes -I for platform headers -asm/irq.h no longer includes plat/irq.h -platform makefile adds -I for it's specfic platform headers -platform code to directly include it's plat/irq.h -Linker script needed plat/memmap.h for CCM info, already in .config Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2013-02-15ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #2: Board callback InfrastructureVineet Gupta
The orig platform code orgnaization was singleton design pattern - only one platform (and board thereof) would build at a time. Thus any platform/board specific code (e.g. irq init, early init ...) expected by ARC common code was exported as well defined set of APIs, with only ONE instance building ever. Now with multiple-platform build requirement, that design of code no longer holds - multiple board specific calls need to build at the same time - so ARC common code can't use the API approach, it needs a callback based design where each board registers it's specific set of functions, and at runtime, depending on board detection, the callbacks are used from the registry. This commit adds all the infrastructure, where board specific callbacks are specified as a "maThine description". All the hooks are placed in right spots, no board callbacks registered yet (with MACHINE_STARt/END constructs) so the hooks will not run. Next commit will actually convert the platform to this infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2013-02-11ARC: Build system: Makefiles, Kconfig, Linker scriptVineet Gupta
Arnd in his review pointed out that arch Kconfig organisation has several deficiencies: * Build time entries for things which can be runtime extracted from DT (e.g. SDRAM size, core clk frequency..) * Not multi-platform-image-build friendly (choice .. endchoice constructs) * cpu variants support (750/770) is exclusive. The first 2 have been fixed in subsequent patches. Due to the nature of the 750 and 770, it is not possible to build for both together, w/o special runtime glue code which would hurt performance.
