2008-01-28all archs: consolidate init and exit sections in vmlinux.lds.hSam Ravnborg
This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in the generic vmlinux.lds.h. This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy us much good. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2007-12-07[AVR32] Follow the rules when dealing with the OCD systemHaavard Skinnemoen
The current debug trap handling code does a number of things that are illegal according to the AVR32 Architecture manual. Most importantly, it may try to schedule from Debug Mode, thus clearing the D bit, which can lead to "undefined behaviour". It seems like this works in most cases, but several people have observed somewhat unstable behaviour when debugging programs, including soft lockups. So there's definitely something which is not right with the existing code. The new code will never schedule from Debug mode, it will always exit Debug mode with a "retd" instruction, and if something not running in Debug mode needs to do something debug-related (like doing a single step), it will enter debug mode through a "breakpoint" instruction. The monitor code will then return directly to user space, bypassing its own saved registers if necessary (since we don't actually care about the trapped context, only the one that came before.) This adds three instructions to the common exception handling code, including one branch. It does not touch super-hot paths like the TLB miss handler.

2007-10-11[AVR32] Remove unneeded 8K alignment of .text sectionHaavard Skinnemoen
__init_end, which comes immediately before .text, is already page aligned, and that should be more than enough for the .text section. The reason why we need to align the .text section is because the interrupt handler offset is ORed with EVBA, so we need to provide enough alignment of EVBA that this OR operation works as an ADD. Currently, the last interrupt handler is not nearly a full page away from EVBA, so it won't be a problem. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
2007-10-11[AVR32] Kill a few hardcoded constants in vmlinux.ldsHaavard Skinnemoen
Use PAGE_SIZE, THREAD_SIZE and L1_CACHE_BYTES instead of harcoded constants in places where that's what we really mean. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
2007-10-11[AVR32] rename vmlinux.ldsSam Ravnborg
Rename vmlinux.lds to a .S file to match other architectures. Simplify Makefile to match the rename and deleted the unused USE_STANDARD_AS_RULE Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
