* [IA64] remove unused PAL_CALL_IC_OFFBjorn Helgaas2006-10-171-8/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux maps PAL instructions with an ITR, but uses a DTC for PAL data. Section 11.10.2.1.3, "Making PAL Procedures Calls in Physical or Virtual Mode," of the SDM (rev 2.2), says we must therefore make all PAL calls with PSR.ic = 1 so that Linux can handle any TLB faults. PAL_CALL_IC_OFF is currently unused, and as long as we use the ITR + DTC strategy, we can't use it. So remove it. I also removed the code in ia64_pal_call_static() that conditionally cleared PSR.ic.

* [IA64] Do not assume output registers be reservered.Zou Nan hai2006-08-021-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We found an issue in pal.S. According to the software runtime SPEC, The caller's output registers do not need to be preserved for caller. The callee may reuse input registers for any other purpose within the procedure. in ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked, input registers are copied to output registers before call into ia64_switch_mode_phys, then used to call into PAL. This assumes output registers are preserved in ia64_switch_mode_phys, which may not be true. In this particular case, ia64_switch_mode_phys alloc a null frame , and mask off psr.i. If an interrupt comes at this small window, or an MCA comes inside the procedure, output registers maybe changed, then the pal call may got some staled input registers. This patch moves the copies from input to output after ia64_switch_mode_phys to follow the software runtime convention. It also removed some unused labels in ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
