13b54a5052 [AVR32] Enable debugging only when needed
Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself)
and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling
debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the
issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under
gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next
reboot.

The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a
process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the
performance forever.

8dfe8f29cd [AVR32] Clean up OCD register usage
Generate a new set of OCD register definitions in asm/ocd.h and rename
__mfdr() and __mtdr() to ocd_read() and ocd_write() respectively.

The bitfield definitions are a lot more complete now, and they are
entirely based on bit numbers, not masks. This is because OCD
registers are frequently accessed from assembly code, where bit
numbers are a lot more useful (can be fed directly to sbr, bfins,
etc.)

Bitfields that consist of more than one bit have two definitions:
_START, which indicates the number of the first bit, and _SIZE, which
indicates the number of bits. These directly correspond to the
parameters taken by the bfextu, bfexts and bfins instructions.

df679771ce [AVR32] Fix invalid status register bit definitions in asm/ptrace.h
The 'H' bit is bit 29, while the 'R' bit doesn't exist. Luckily, we
don't actually use any of the bits in question.

Also update show_regs() to show the Debug Mask and Debug state bits.

c9f4f06d31 wrap access to thread_info
Recently a few direct accesses to the thread_info in the task structure snuck
back, so this wraps them with the appropriate wrapper.

623b0355d5 [AVR32] Clean up exception handling code
* Use generic BUG() handling
  * Remove some useless debug statements
  * Use a common function _exception() to send signals or oops when
    an exception can't be handled. This makes sure init doesn't
    enter an infinite exception loop as well. Borrowed from powerpc.
  * Add some basic exception tracing support to the page fault code.
  * Rework dump_stack(), show_regs() and friends and move everything
    into process.c
  * Print information about configuration options and chip type when
    oopsing

19b7ce8bad [AVR32] Put cpu in sleep 0 when idle.
This patch puts the CPU in sleep 0 when doing nothing, idle. This will
turn of the CPU clock and thus save power. The CPU is waken again when
an interrupt occurs.

c2eb5090ee [AVR32] Put the chip in "stop" mode when halting the system
Make machine_halt() execute a sleep instruction to put the chip in
"stop" mode when the system is halted. This switches off all clocks
except the 32 kHz oscillator, which is needed for the RTC to keep
ticking.

5f97f7f940 [PATCH] avr32 architecture
This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density.  The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture.  It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit.  It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.

Full data sheet is available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf

while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf

Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918

including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.

Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.

This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
