In some xtensa configurations there may be system/user registers in xtensa-modules with negative index. ISA initialization for such config may clobber heap and result in program termination. Don't update lookup table entries for register with negative indices. Signed-off-by: Max Filippov Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

binutils: add support for binutils 2.29

2017-07-31T19:26:46+00:00

All patches from binutils 2.28 are kept, except patch 0906-microblaze-pr21180.patch, because it has been merged upstream as of commit bd757ca7bf5886a4025ca02093fca1b8c5ce11a2. Other patches are slightly adapted to differences that appeared in binutils 2.29. The patches are now all Git formatted, so instead of having weird sequence numbers, they have normal sequence numbers starting from 0001 and incrementing. Since binutils 2.29 is now available as a .tar.xz tarball, we use this format instead of .bz2 used for previous versions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
