837ec2d56c Blackfin: catch hardware errors earlier during booting
Allow hardware errors to be caught during early portions of booting, and
leave something in the shadow console that people can use to debug their
system with (to be printed out by the bootloader on next reset).

This enables the hardare error interrupts in head.S, allowing us to find
hardware errors when they happen (well, as much as you can with a hardware
error) and prints out the trace if it is enabled.  This will catch errors
(like booting the wrong image on a 533) which previously resulted in a
infinite loop/hang, as well as random hardware errors before before
setup_arch().

To disable this debug only feature - turn off EARLY_PRINTK.

81c969a8bc Blackfin: push SRAM locks down into related ifdefs
Rather than defining the locks and initializing them all the time, only do
so when we actually need them (i.e. the SRAM regions exist).  This avoids
dead data and code bloat during runtime.

inline assembly, there's no need for __used attribute.

b9bf3121af percpu: use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED()
There are a few places where ___cacheline_aligned* is used with
DEFINE_PER_CPU().  Use DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() instead.

DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED() applies alignment only on SMPs.  While
all other converted places used _in_smp variant or only get compiled
for SMP, net/rds used unconditional ____cacheline_aligned.  I don't
see any reason these data structures should be aligned on UP and thus
converted together.

41ba653f24 Blackfin: decouple unrelated cache settings to get exact behavior
The current cache options don't really represent the hardware features.
They end up setting different aspects of the hardware so that the end
result is to turn on/off the cache.  Unfortunately, when we hit cache
problems with the hardware, it's difficult to test different settings to
root cause the problem.  The current settings also don't cleanly allow for
different caching behaviors with different regions of memory.

So split the configure options such that they properly reflect the settings
that are applied to the hardware.

99b7623380 proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

dbdf20db53 Blackfin arch: Faster C implementation of no-MPU CPLB handler
This is a mixture ofcMichael McTernan's patch and the existing cplb-mpu code.

We ditch the old cplb-nompu implementation, which is a good example of
why a good algorithm in a HLL is preferrable to a bad algorithm written in
assembly.  Rather than try to construct a table of all posible CPLBs and
search it, we just create a (smaller) table of memory regions and
their attributes.  Some of the data structures are now unified for both
the mpu and nompu cases.  A lot of needless complexity in cplbinit.c is
removed.

Further optimizations:
  * compile cplbmgr.c with a lot of -ffixed-reg options, and omit saving
    these registers on the stack when entering a CPLB exception.
  * lose cli/nop/nop/sti sequences for some workarounds - these don't
  * make
    sense in an exception context

Additional code unification should be possible after this.

[Mike Frysinger <vapier.adi@gmail.com>:
 - convert CPP if statements to C if statements
 - remove redundant statements
 - use a do...while loop rather than a for loop to get slightly better
   optimization and to avoid gcc "may be used uninitialized" warnings ...
   we know that the [id]cplb_nr_bounds variables will never be 0, so this
   is OK
 - the no-mpu code was the last user of MAX_MEM_SIZE and with that rewritten,
   we can punt it
 - add some BUG_ON() checks to make sure we dont overflow the small
   cplb_bounds array
 - add i/d cplb entries for the bootrom because there is functions/data in
   there we want to access
 - we do not need a NULL trailing entry as any time we access the bounds
   arrays, we use the nr_bounds variable

arguably not an error on blackfin where sizeof(int) == sizeof(long),
the patch is still justified on the grounds of principle.

The patch was generated using the Coccinelle semantic patch framework.

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:
