194        a thread is executing.  Should've left it there in the first place...

204        switch so FPU is properly enabled and also doesn't screw up the

206        * idtcpu.h: Added C0_TAR, the MIPS target address register used for
207        returning from exceptions.
208        * iregdef.h: Added R_TAR to the stack frame so the target address
209        can be saved on a per-exception basis.  The new entry is past the
210        end of the frame gdb cares about, so doesn't affect gdb or cpu.h
211        stuff.
212        * rtems/score/cpu.h: added an #ifdef so cpu_asm.S can include it
[dc3848d0]213        to obtain FPU defines without syntax errors generated by the C
[bd1ecb0]214        defintions.

227        register individually and document when it is saved.

243        the interrupt level.

245        managed on a per-task basis, improved handling of interrupt levels,
246        and made deferred FP contexts work on the MIPS.

275        is used to specify if the port uses the standard macro for this (FALSE).
276        A TRUE setting indicates the port provides its own implementation.

329        (not RTEMS) enables interrupts allowing the nesting to occur.
330

379
380        * cpu.c (_CPU_Initialize): Do not initialize _ISR_Vector_table() here
381        because it has not been allocated yet.
382
[797d88ba]3832000-12-13      Joel Sherrill <joel@OARcorp.com>
384
385        * cpu.c: Removed duplicate declaration for _ISR_Vector_table.
386        * cpu_asm.S: Removed assembly language to vector ISR handler
387        on MIPS ISA I.  Now call mips_vector_isr_handlers() in libcpu or BSP.
388        * rtems/score/cpu.h (CPU_INTERRUPT_NUMBER_OF_VECTORS): No
389        longer a constant -- get the real value from libcpu.

392
393        * cpu_asm.h: Removed.

400        * rtems/score/Makefile.am: Reflect renaming mips64orion.h.
401        * asm.h: Include <mips.h> not <mips64orion.h>. Now includes the
402        few defines that were in <cpu_asm.h>.
403        * cpu.c (_CPU_ISR_Get_level): Added MIPS ISA I version of this routine.
404        MIPS ISA 3 is still in assembly for now.
405        (_CPU_Thread_Idle_body): Rewrote in C.
406        * cpu_asm.S: Rewrote file header.

409        (_CPU_ISR_Set_level): Removed ISA I version and rewrote in C.
410        (_CPU_Context_switch): MIPS ISA I now manages preserves SR_IEC and
411        leaves other bits in SR alone on task switch.
412        (mips_enable_interrupts,mips_disable_interrupts,
413        mips_enable_global_interrupts,mips_disable_global_interrupts,
414        disable_int, enable_int): Removed.

420        to libcpu/mips/shared/interrupts.
421        (general): Cleaned up comment blocks and #if 0 areas.
422        * idtcpu.h: Made ifdef report an error.
423        * iregdef.h: Removed warning.
424        * rtems/score/cpu.h (CPU_INTERRUPT_NUMBER_OF_VECTORS): Now a variable
425        number defined by libcpu.
426        (_CPU_ISR_Disable, _CPU_ISR_Enable): Rewritten to use new routines
427        to access SR.
428        (_CPU_ISR_Set_level): Rewritten as macro for ISA I.
429        (_CPU_Context_Initialize): Honor ISR level in task initialization.
430        (_CPU_Fatal_halt): Use new _CPU_ISR_Disable() macro.

[5d7bfce3]4322000-12-06      Joel Sherrill <joel@OARcorp.com>
433
434        * rtems/score/cpu.h: When mips ISA level is 1, registers in the
435        context should be 32 not 64 bits.
436
[7f8c11c]4372000-11-30      Joel Sherrill <joel@OARcorp.com>
438
439        * cpu_asm.S: Changed "_CPU_Ccontext_switch_restore: typo to
440        correct name of _CPU_Context_switch_restore.  Added dummy
441        version of exc_utlb_code() so applications would link.

[feead226]4432000-11-09      Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>
444
445        * Makefile.am: Use ... instead of RTEMS_TOPdir in ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS.

453        * Makefile.am: ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS= -I $(RTEMS_TOPdir)/macros.
454        Switch to GNU canonicalization.

458
459        * This is a major reworking of the mips64orion port to use
460        gcc predefines as much as possible and a big push to multilib
461        the mips port.  The mips64orion port was copied/renamed to mips
462        to be more like other GNU tools.  Alan did most of the technical
463        work of determining how to map old macro names used by the mips64orion
464        port to standard compiler macro definitions.  Joel did the merge
465        with CVS magic to keep individual file history and did the BSP
466        modifications. Details follow:
467        * Makefile.am: idtmon.h in mips64orion port not present.
468        * asm.h: MIPS64ORION replaced with MIPS. Frame setup macros added.
469        * cpu.c: Comments added.
470        * cpu_asm.S: Conditionals changed.  MIPS ISA level 1 support added.
471        First attempt at exception/interrupt processing for ISA level 1
472        and minus any use of IDT/MON added.
473        * idtcpu.h: Conditionals changed to use gcc predefines.
474        * iregdef.h: Ditto.
475        * cpu_asm.h: No real change.  Merger required commit.
476        * rtems/Makefile.am: Ditto.
477        * rtems/score/Makefile.am: Ditto.
478        * rtems/score/cpu.h: Change MIPS64ORION to MIPS.
479        * rtems/score/mips64orion.h: Change MIPS64ORION to MIPS.  Convert
480        from using RTEMS_CPU_MODEL to gcc predefines to figre things out.

488        * ChangeLog: New file.
