* [XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessorsChris Zankel2008-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Xtensa architecture allows to define custom instructions and registers. Registers that are bound to a coprocessor are only accessible if the corresponding enable bit is set, which allows to implement a 'lazy' context switch mechanism. Other registers needs to be saved and restore at the time of the context switch or during interrupt handling. This patch adds support for these additional states: - save and restore registers that are used by the compiler upon interrupt entry and exit. - context switch additional registers unbound to any coprocessor - 'lazy' context switch of registers bound to a coprocessor - ptrace interface to provide access to additional registers - update configuration files in include/asm-xtensa/variant-fsf Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>
* [XTENSA] Remove oldmask from sigcontext and fix register flushChris Zankel2008-02-13
| | | | | | | Remove oldmask from the sigcontext structure. Also update wmask and windowstart when we flush the AR registers to stack. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>
* [XTENSA] Remove non-rt signal handlingChris Zankel2007-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | The non-rt signal handling was never really used, so we don't break anything. This patch also cleans up the signal stack-frame to make it independent from the processor configuration. It also improves the method used for controlling single-stepping. We now save and restore the 'icountlevel' register that controls single stepping and set or clear the saved state to enable or disable it. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel <chris@zankel.net>
