docs: move parisc documentation under Documentation/arch/
Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy. Move Documentation/parisc into arch/ and fix all in-tree references. Cc: "James E.J.

-=================
-PA-RISC Debugging
-=================
-
-okay, here are some hints for debugging the lower-level parts of
-linux/parisc.
-
-
-1. Absolute addresses
-=====================
-
-A lot of the assembly code currently runs in real mode, which means
-absolute addresses are used instead of virtual addresses as in the
-rest of the kernel. To translate an absolute address to a virtual
-address you can lookup in System.map, add __PAGE_OFFSET (0x10000000
-currently).
-
-
-2. HPMCs
-========
-
-When real-mode code tries to access non-existent memory, you'll get
-an HPMC instead of a kernel oops. To debug an HPMC, try to find
-the System Responder/Requestor addresses. The System Requestor
-address should match (one of the) processor HPAs (high addresses in
-the I/O range); the System Responder address is the address real-mode
-code tried to access.
-
-Typical values for the System Responder address are addresses larger
-than __PAGE_OFFSET (0x10000000) which mean a virtual address didn't
-get translated to a physical address before real-mode code tried to
-access it.
-
-
-3. Q bit fun
-============
-
-Certain, very critical code has to clear the Q bit in the PSW. What
-happens when the Q bit is cleared is the CPU does not update the
-registers interruption handlers read to find out where the machine
-was interrupted - so if you get an interruption between the instruction
-that clears the Q bit and the RFI that sets it again you don't know
-where exactly it happened. If you're lucky the IAOQ will point to the
-instruction that cleared the Q bit, if you're not it points anywhere
-at all. Usually Q bit problems will show themselves in unexplainable
-system hangs or running off the end of physical memory.

-
-The PA-RISC architecture defines 7 registers as "shadow registers".
-Those are used in RETURN FROM INTERRUPTION AND RESTORE instruction to reduce
-the state save and restore time by eliminating the need for general register
-(GR) saves and restores in interruption handlers.
-Shadow registers are the GRs 1, 8, 9, 16, 17, 24, and 25.
-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Register usage notes, originally from John Marvin, with some additional
-notes from Randolph Chung.
-
-For the general registers:
-
-r1,r2,r19-r26,r28,r29 & r31 can be used without saving them first. And of
-course, you need to save them if you care about them, before calling
-another procedure. Some of the above registers do have special meanings
-that you should be aware of:
-
- r1:
- The addil instruction is hardwired to place its result in r1,
- so if you use that instruction be aware of that.
-
- r2:
- This is the return pointer. In general you don't want to
- use this, since you need the pointer to get back to your
- caller. However, it is grouped with this set of registers
- since the caller can't rely on the value being the same
- when you return, i.e. you can copy r2 to another register
- and return through that register after trashing r2, and
- that should not cause a problem for the calling routine.
-
- r19-r22:
- these are generally regarded as temporary registers.
- Note that in 64 bit they are arg7-arg4.
-
- r23-r26:
- these are arg3-arg0, i.e. you can use them if you
- don't care about the values that were passed in anymore.
-
- r28,r29:
- are ret0 and ret1. They are what you pass return values
- in. r28 is the primary return. When returning small structures
- r29 may also be used to pass data back to the caller.
-
- r30:
- stack pointer
-
- r31:
- the ble instruction puts the return pointer in here.
-
-
- r3-r18,r27,r30 need to be saved and restored. r3-r18 are just
- general purpose registers. r27 is the data pointer, and is
- used to make references to global variables easier. r30 is
- the stack pointer.
