Instead of storing physical addresses along with page flags in the
PGD, store virtual addresses and use NULL to indicate a not present
second-level page table. A non-page-aligned page table indicates a bad
PMD.
This simplifies the TLB miss handler since it no longer has to check
the Present bit and no longer has to convert the PGD entry from
physical to virtual address. Instead, it has to check for a NULL
entry, which is slightly cheaper than either.

Kill the special exception handler sections .tlbx.ex.text,
.tlbr.ex.text, tlbw.ex.text and .scall.text. Use .org instead to place
the handlers at the required offsets from EVBA.

This patch consolidate all definitions of .init.text, .init.data
and .exit.text, .exit.data section definitions in
the generic vmlinux.lds.h.
This is a preparational patch - alone it does not buy
us much good.

The current debug trap handling code does a number of things that are
illegal according to the AVR32 Architecture manual. Most importantly,
it may try to schedule from Debug Mode, thus clearing the D bit, which
can lead to "undefined behaviour".
It seems like this works in most cases, but several people have
observed somewhat unstable behaviour when debugging programs,
including soft lockups. So there's definitely something which is not
right with the existing code.
The new code will never schedule from Debug mode, it will always exit
Debug mode with a "retd" instruction, and if something not running in
Debug mode needs to do something debug-related (like doing a single
step), it will enter debug mode through a "breakpoint" instruction.
The monitor code will then return directly to user space, bypassing
its own saved registers if necessary (since we don't actually care
about the trapped context, only the one that came before.)
This adds three instructions to the common exception handling code,
including one branch. It does not touch super-hot paths like the TLB
miss handler.

__init_end, which comes immediately before .text, is already page
aligned, and that should be more than enough for the .text section.
The reason why we need to align the .text section is because the
interrupt handler offset is ORed with EVBA, so we need to provide
enough alignment of EVBA that this OR operation works as an ADD.
Currently, the last interrupt handler is not nearly a full page away
from EVBA, so it won't be a problem.

Rename .taglist to .taglist.init to silence section mismatch warnings.
The .taglist.init section was already placed in the .init output
section along with .init.text, so the warning didn't indicate any real
problems.

* Use generic BUG() handling
* Remove some useless debug statements
* Use a common function _exception() to send signals or oops when
an exception can't be handled. This makes sure init doesn't
enter an infinite exception loop as well. Borrowed from powerpc.
* Add some basic exception tracing support to the page fault code.
* Rework dump_stack(), show_regs() and friends and move everything
into process.c
* Print information about configuration options and chip type when
oopsing

Update all arch/*/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S to not include space for initramfs
when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRAMFS is not selected. This saves another 4 kbytes

This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.
AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.
The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf
The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.
Full data sheet is available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf
while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf
Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918
including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.
Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.
This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
