13fe24f37d [Blackfin] arch: fix bug - trap_tests fails to recover on some tests.
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=3719

When the CPLBs get a miss, we do:
  - find a victim in the HW table
  - remove the victim
  - find the replacement in the software table
  - put it into the HW table.

If we can't find a replacement in the software table, we accidently
leave a duplicate in the HW table. This patch ensures that duplicate
is marked as not valid.

What we should do is find the replacement in the software table, before
we find a victim in the HW table - but its too late in the release cycle
to do that much restructuring of this code.

Rather that duplicate code, connect Hardware Errors (irq5) into trap_c,
so user space processes get killed properly.

The rest of irq_panic() can be moved into traps.c (later)

There is still a small corner case that causes problems when a
pheriperal interrupt goes off a single cycle before a user space
hardware error. This causes a kernel panic, rather than the user
space process being killed.

But, this checkin makes things work in 99.9% of the cases, and is a vast
improvement from what is there today (which fails 100% of the time).

e6c5eb9541 PM: Rework struct platform_suspend_ops
There is no reason why the .prepare() and .finish() methods in 'struct
platform_suspend_ops' should take any arguments, since architectures don't use
these methods' argument in any practically meaningful way (ie.  either the
target system sleep state is conveyed to the platform by .set_target(), or
there is only one suspend state supported and it is indicated to the PM core
by .valid(), or .prepare() and .finish() aren't defined at all).   There also
is no reason why .finish() should return any result.

26398a70ea PM: Rename struct pm_ops and related things
The name of 'struct pm_ops' suggests that it is related to the power
management in general, but in fact it is only related to suspend.   Moreover,
its name should indicate what this structure is used for, so it seems
reasonable to change it to 'struct platform_suspend_ops'.   In that case, the
name of the global variable of this type used by the PM core and the names of
related functions should be changed accordingly.

95d9ffbe01 PM: Move definition of struct pm_ops to suspend.h
Move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' and related functions from <linux/pm.h>
to <linux/suspend.h> .

There are, at least, the following reasons to do that:
* 'struct pm_ops' is specifically related to suspend and not to the power
  management in general.
* As long as 'struct pm_ops' is defined in <linux/pm.h>, any modification of it
  causes the entire kernel to be recompiled, which is unnecessary and annoying.
* Some suspend-related features are already defined in <linux/suspend.h>, so it
  is logical to move the definition of 'struct pm_ops' into there.
* 'struct hibernation_ops', being the hibernation-related counterpart of
  'struct pm_ops', is defined in <linux/suspend.h> .

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.

with increased system bandwidth and on-chip memory provides customers a platform to

Since now, ADSP-BF54x will be supported in the Linux kernel and bunch of related drivers
such as USB OTG, ATAPI, NAND flash controller, LCD framebuffer, sound, touch screen will

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.

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:
