Robin Getz 13fe24f37d [Blackfin] arch: fix bug - trap_tests fails to recover on some tests.
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/uclinux-dist/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=3719

When the CPLBs get a miss, we do:
  - find a victim in the HW table
  - remove the victim
  - find the replacement in the software table
  - put it into the HW table.

If we can't find a replacement in the software table, we accidently
leave a duplicate in the HW table. This patch ensures that duplicate
is marked as not valid.

What we should do is find the replacement in the software table, before
we find a victim in the HW table - but its too late in the release cycle
to do that much restructuring of this code.

Rather that duplicate code, connect Hardware Errors (irq5) into trap_c,
so user space processes get killed properly.

The rest of irq_panic() can be moved into traps.c (later)

There is still a small corner case that causes problems when a
pheriperal interrupt goes off a single cycle before a user space
hardware error. This causes a kernel panic, rather than the user
space process being killed.

But, this checkin makes things work in 99.9% of the cases, and is a vast
improvement from what is there today (which fails 100% of the time).

Bryan Wu 1394f03221 blackfin architecture
This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix!  Tinyboards.

The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc.  (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000.  Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices.  The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set.  It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.

The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf

The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc

This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/

We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:
