parisc: add support for TOC (transfer of control)
Almost all PA-RISC machines have either a button that is labeled with 'TOC' or a BMC function to trigger a TOC. TOC is a non-maskable interrupt that is sent to the processor. This can be used for diagnostic purposes like obtaining a stack trace/register dump or to enter KDB/KGDB. As an example, on my c8000, TOC can be used with: CONFIG_KGDB=y CONFIG_KGDB_KDB=y and the 'kgdboc=ttyS0,115200' appended to the command line. Press ^[( on serial console, which will enter the BMC command line, and enter 'TOC s': root@(none):/# ( cli>TOC s Sending TOC/INIT. <Cpu3> 2800035d03e00000 0000000040c21ac8 CC_ERR_CHECK_TOC <Cpu0> 2800035d00e00000 0000000040c21ad0 CC_ERR_CHECK_TOC <Cpu2> 2800035d02e00000 0000000040c21ac8 CC_ERR_CHECK_TOC <Cpu1> 2800035d01e00000 0000000040c21ad0 CC_ERR_CHECK_TOC <Cpu3> 37000f7303e00000 2000000000000000 CC_ERR_CPU_CHECK_SUMMARY <Cpu0> 37000f7300e00000 2000000000000000 CC_ERR_CPU_CHECK_SUMMARY <Cpu2> 37000f7302e00000 2000000000000000 CC_ERR_CPU_CHECK_SUMMARY <Cpu1> 37000f7301e00000 2000000000000000 CC_ERR_CPU_CHECK_SUMMARY <Cpu3> 4300100803e00000 c0000000001d26cc CC_MC_BR_TO_OS_TOC <Cpu0> 4300100800e00000 c0000000001d26cc CC_MC_BR_TO_OS_TOC <Cpu2> 4300100802e00000 c0000000001d26cc CC_MC_BR_TO_OS_TOC <Cpu1> 4300100801e00000 c0000000001d26cc CC_MC_BR_TO_OS_TOC Entering kdb (current=0x00000000411cef80, pid 0) on processor 0 due to NonMaskable Interrupt @ 0x40c21ad0 [0]kdb> Signed-off-by: Sven Schnelle <svens@stackframe.org> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
