Notes on register bank usage in the kernel
|
||||
==========================================
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The SH-3 and SH-4 CPU families traditionally include a single partial register
|
||||
bank (selected by SR.RB, only r0 ... r7 are banked), whereas other families
|
||||
may have more full-featured banking or simply no such capabilities at all.
|
||||
|
||||
SR.RB banking
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
In the case of this type of banking, banked registers are mapped directly to
|
||||
r0 ... r7 if SR.RB is set to the bank we are interested in, otherwise ldc/stc
|
||||
can still be used to reference the banked registers (as r0_bank ... r7_bank)
|
||||
when in the context of another bank. The developer must keep the SR.RB value
|
||||
in mind when writing code that utilizes these banked registers, for obvious
|
||||
reasons. Userspace is also not able to poke at the bank1 values, so these can
|
||||
be used rather effectively as scratch registers by the kernel.
|
||||
|
||||
Presently the kernel uses several of these registers.
|
||||
|
||||
- r0_bank, r1_bank (referenced as k0 and k1, used for scratch
|
||||
registers when doing exception handling).
|
||||
- r2_bank (used to track the EXPEVT/INTEVT code)
|
||||
- Used by do_IRQ() and friends for doing irq mapping based off
|
||||
of the interrupt exception vector jump table offset
|
||||
- r6_bank (global interrupt mask)
|
||||
- The SR.IMASK interrupt handler makes use of this to set the
|
||||
interrupt priority level (used by local_irq_enable())
|
||||
- r7_bank (current)
