* generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()Heiko Carstens2007-07-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(), gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents, etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack() emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets called from report_bug(): [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8) [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0 [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8 [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c [<00000000000227d6>] sysc_return+0x0/0x10 Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Acked-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* move die notifier handling to common codeChristoph Hellwig2007-05-083-17/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

* [AVR32] Get rid of board_setup_fbmem()Haavard Skinnemoen2007-04-271-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | Since the core setup code takes care of both allocation and reservation of framebuffer memory, there's no need for this board- specific hook anymore.

* [AVR32] Reserve framebuffer memory in early_parse_fbmem()Haavard Skinnemoen2007-04-271-7/+61
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the current strategy of using the bootmem allocator to allocate or reserve framebuffer memory, there's a slight chance that the requested area has been taken by the boot allocator bitmap before we get around to reserving it. By inserting the framebuffer region as a reserved region as early as possible, we improve our chances for success and we make the region visible as a reserved region in dmesg and /proc/iomem without any extra work.

This is not a good idea because the RSR and RAR registers are not the same, and the NMI handler runs with interrupts masked the whole time so there's no need to check for pending work.

* [AVR32] Change system timer from count-compare to Timer/Counter 0Hans-Christian Egtvedt2007-04-271-73/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to limitation of the count-compare system timer (not able to count when CPU is in sleep), the system timer had to be changed to use a peripheral timer/counter. The old COUNT-COMPARE code is still present in time.c as weak functions. The new timer is added to the architecture directory. This patch sets up TC0 as system timer The new timer has been tested on AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000 at 100 Hz, 250 Hz, 300 Hz and 1000 Hz.

Without this fix, show_trace() may enter an infinite loop, walking through random data anywhere in memory. Since any address within the kernel stack is guaranteed to be valid, we may eliminate the __get_user() calls as well. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While working on SH kprobes, I noticed that avr32 got the preemption handling wrong in the no probe case. The idea is that upon entry of kprobe_handler() preemption is disabled outright across the life of the kprobe, only to be re-enabled in post_kprobe_handler(). However, in the event that the probe is never activated, there's never any chance of hitting the post probe handler, which allows for the current avr32 implementation to disable preemption indefinitely, as it's currently missing a re-enable when no probe is activated.
