2008-05-07[Blackfin] arch: fix bug - breaking the atomic sections code.Bernd Schmidt
The following cleanup patch: add __user markings to a few userspace system functions mysteriously added a "&" operator that doesn't belong in there, breaking the atomic sections code. Signed-off-by: Bernd Schmidt <bernds_cb1@t-online.de> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <cooloney@kernel.org>
2008-04-24[Blackfin] arch: This allows XIP to work with FD-PIC.Bernd Schmidt
Previously, init failed to do anything meaningful; it turns out that the reason is that FD-PIC has a readonly data section which can be located in the XIP filesystem, and various address checks in the kernel reject such addresses for syscall arguments. Hence, init's execve ("/bin/sh", ...) failed with error code EFAULT. There's room for improvement here: in case people want to have filesystems on flash rather than in main memory, _access_ok should be modified to allow this. This bug fix is also dedicated to Michael Hennerich. Signed-off-by: Bernd Schmidt <bernds_cb1@t-online.de> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <cooloney@kernel.org>

The only user is the a.out support. It was therefore removed prior to the blackfin merge from all architectures not supporting a.out. Currently, Blackfin doesn't suppport a.out. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>
2007-10-10Blackfin arch: fix bug libstdc++ calling writev with an iovec containing { ↵Bernd Schmidt
NULL, 0 } fails on Blackfin Fix a problem reported in the forums - libstdc++ can call writev with an iovec containing { NULL, 0 }, which works fine on i686-linux, but fails on Blackfin. Fixed by allowing size 0 transfers to/from userspace regardless of the address. Signed-off-by: Bernd Schmidt <bernd.schmidt@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com>

2007-06-21Blackfin arch: defines and provides entry points for certain user space ↵Bernd Schmidt
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.

2007-05-07blackfin architectureBryan Wu
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 [m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl: balance parenthesis in blackfin header files] Signed-off-by: Bryan Wu <bryan.wu@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Signed-off-by: Aubrey Li <aubrey.li@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Jie Zhang <jie.zhang@analog.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
