* arc: Use generic idle loopThomas Gleixner2013-04-081-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generic idle loop implements all functionality. Aside of that it allows arc to implement the tsk_is_polling() functionality correctly, despite the patently (now gone) comment in the original arc cpu_idle() function: /* Since we SLEEP in idle loop, TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG can't be set */ See kernel/cpu/idle.c Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: Paul McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Cc: Srivatsa S.

* ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #7: SMP common code to use callbacksVineet Gupta2013-02-151-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | This again is for switch from singleton platform SMP API to multi-platform paradigm Platform code is not yet setup to populate the callbacks, that happens in next commit Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

* ARC: [Review] Multi-platform image #2: Board callback InfrastructureVineet Gupta2013-02-151-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The orig platform code orgnaization was singleton design pattern - only one platform (and board thereof) would build at a time. Thus any platform/board specific code (e.g. irq init, early init ...) expected by ARC common code was exported as well defined set of APIs, with only ONE instance building ever. Now with multiple-platform build requirement, that design of code no longer holds - multiple board specific calls need to build at the same time - so ARC common code can't use the API approach, it needs a callback based design where each board registers it's specific set of functions, and at runtime, depending on board detection, the callbacks are used from the registry. This commit adds all the infrastructure, where board specific callbacks are specified as a "maThine description". All the hooks are placed in right spots, no board callbacks registered yet (with MACHINE_STARt/END constructs) so the hooks will not run. Next commit will actually convert the platform to this infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
* ARC: SMP supportVineet Gupta2013-02-151-0/+320
ARC common code to enable a SMP system + ISS provided SMP extensions. ARC700 natively lacks SMP support, hence some of the core features are are only enabled if SoCs have the necessary h/w pixie-dust. This includes: -Inter Processor Interrupts (IPI) -Cache coherency -load-locked/store-conditional ... The low level exception handling would be completely broken in SMP because we don't have hardware assisted stack switching. Thus a fair bit of this code is repurposing the MMU_SCRATCH reg for event handler prologues to keep them re-entrant. Many thanks to Rajeshwar Ranga for his initial "major" contributions to SMP Port (back in 2008), and to Noam Camus and Gilad Ben-Yossef for help with resurrecting that in 3.2 kernel (2012). Note that this platform code is again singleton design pattern - so multiple SMP platforms won't build at the moment - this deficiency is addressed in subsequent patches within this series.
