THe high level structure of most ARC exception handlers is 1. save regfile with EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE 2. setup r0: EFA (not part of pt_regs) 3. setup r1: pointer to pt_regs (SP) 4. drop down to pure kernel mode (from exception) 5. call the Linux "C" handler Remove the boiler plate code by moving #2, #3, #4 into #1. The exceptions to most exceptions are syscall Trap and Machine check which don't do some of above for various reasons, so call a newly introduced variant EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE_KEEP_AE (same as original EXCEPTION_PROLOGUE) Tested-by: Pavel Kozlov <Pavel.Kozlov@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@kernel.org>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
