2009-01-16	avr32: Fix out-of-range rcalls in large kernels	Ben Nizette
	Replace handcoded rcall instructions with the call pseudo-instruction. For kernels too far over 1MB the rcall instruction can't reach and linking will fail. We already call the final linker with --relax which converts call pseudo-instructions to the right things anyway. This fixes arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `syscall_exit_work': (.ex.text+0x198): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `schedule' defined in .sched.text section in kernel/built-in.o arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o: In function `fault_exit_work': (.ex.text+0x3b6): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against symbol `schedule' defined in .sched.text section in kernel/built-in.o But I'm still left with arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x2): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+45a arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x8): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+8ea arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0xe): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+abe arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x14): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+ac8 arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x1a): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+ad2 arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x20): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+adc arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x26): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+ae6 arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x2c): relocation truncated to fit: R_AVR32_22H_PCREL against `.text'+af0 arch/avr32/kernel/built-in.o:(.fixup+0x32): additional relocation overflows omitted from the output These are caused by a similar problem with 'rjmp' instructions. Unfortunately, there's no easy fix for these at the moment since we don't have a arbitrary-range 'jmp' instruction similar to 'call'.

2006-09-26	[PATCH] avr32 architecture	Haavard Skinnemoen
	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.
