b8f8c3cf0a nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop
Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:

	scheduler switch to idle task
	enable interrupts

Window starts here

	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
	      	irq_exit() stops the tick

	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)

	return from schedule()
	
	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();

Window ends here

The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.

The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.

Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.

cpu_idle()
{
	preempt_disable();

	while(1) {
		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
		 			          are in the idle loop

		 while (!need_resched())
		       halt();

		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
		 schedule();
		 preempt_disable();
	}
}

In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 

/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

ed3fa7c951 avr32: Add hardware power-down function call
This patch adds in the indirect call to pm_power_off(), as is done in
other architectures (e.g. ARM).

Tested on NGW100, with custom board with GPIO control over main DC
power.

325d6f5593 avr32: Fix OCD refcounting bug
Iff the parent has TIF_DEBUG set, _and_ clone_flags includes
CLONE_PTRACE we should set the TIF_DEBUG flag for the child and
increment the ocd refcount. Otherwise, the TIF_DEBUG flag must be
unset.

Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before
copy_thread is called, so TIF_DEBUG may be already be set before we
determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging
capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable()
won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and
that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged.

This leads to a refcounting asymmetry, which may show up as

------------[ cut here ]------------
Badness at arch/avr32/kernel/ocd.c:73
PC is at ocd_disable+0x34/0x60
LR is at put_lock_stats+0xa/0x20

as reported by David Brownell. Happens when strace'ing a process that
forks a new child process, e.g. "strace mount -tjffs2 mtd1 /mnt", and
subsequently killing the child process (e.g. "umount /mnt".)

d45ad06273 avr32: Call tick_nohz_{stop,restart}_sched_tick() in idle loop
This fixes a hang on boot with nohz enabled. nohz is not actually
supported in mainline yet, but patches that add support for it are
currently under review.

When nohz is compiled out, the functions are no-ops, so this patch
results in no functional change, but it arguably makes the code more
correct.

13b54a5052 [AVR32] Enable debugging only when needed
Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself)
and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling
debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the
issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under
gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next
reboot.

The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a
process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the
performance forever.

8dfe8f29cd [AVR32] Clean up OCD register usage
Generate a new set of OCD register definitions in asm/ocd.h and rename
__mfdr() and __mtdr() to ocd_read() and ocd_write() respectively.

The bitfield definitions are a lot more complete now, and they are
entirely based on bit numbers, not masks. This is because OCD
registers are frequently accessed from assembly code, where bit
numbers are a lot more useful (can be fed directly to sbr, bfins,
etc.)

Bitfields that consist of more than one bit have two definitions:
_START, which indicates the number of the first bit, and _SIZE, which
indicates the number of bits. These directly correspond to the
parameters taken by the bfextu, bfexts and bfins instructions.

623b0355d5 [AVR32] Clean up exception handling code
* 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

5f97f7f940 [PATCH] avr32 architecture
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.
