ret_from_fork is always entered with hw interrupts off, which prevents
real-time domains to preempt the Linux kernel during part of the
initial context switch to the new task, which could in turn raise the
worst-case latency figures.
To avoid this, stall the root domain stage in the interrupt pipeline
to keep the scheduling tail code free from Linux-handled IRQs, then
enable hardware interrupts again.

Possible RETS Register Corruption when Subroutine Is under 5 Cycles in Duration

This is fixes a problem where we could jump to the wrong address. By
doing a "p0 = reti; jump (p0)". If a different, higher level interrupt
came in, just before, rather than returning to the calling function, we
would return to a random place in the kernel.
This very elegant fix from Bernd grabs the return location off the
stack, and places it into P0, so when we do a return, it goes to the
correct place.

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:
