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.

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. diff --git a/Documentation/parisc/features.rst b/Documentation/parisc/features.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 501d7c450037..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/parisc/features.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,3 +0,0 @@ -..

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. |
