    Blackfin arch: Faster C implementation of no-MPU CPLB handler · dbdf20db
    Bernd Schmidt authored
    This is a mixture ofcMichael McTernan's patch and the existing cplb-mpu code.
    
    We ditch the old cplb-nompu implementation, which is a good example of
    why a good algorithm in a HLL is preferrable to a bad algorithm written in
    assembly.  Rather than try to construct a table of all posible CPLBs and
    search it, we just create a (smaller) table of memory regions and
    their attributes.  Some of the data structures are now unified for both
    the mpu and nompu cases.  A lot of needless complexity in cplbinit.c is
    removed.
    
    Further optimizations:
      * compile cplbmgr.c with a lot of -ffixed-reg options, and omit saving
        these registers on the stack when entering a CPLB exception.
      * lose cli/nop/nop/sti sequences for some workarounds - these don't
      * make
        sense in an exception context
    
    Additional code unification should be possible after this.
    
    [Mike Frysinger <vapier.adi@gmail.com>:
     - convert CPP if statements to C if statements
     - remove redundant statements
     - use a do...while loop rather than a for loop to get slightly better
       optimization and to avoid gcc "may be used uninitialized" warnings ...
       we know that the [id]cplb_nr_bounds variables will never be 0, so this
       is OK
     - the no-mpu code was the last user of MAX_MEM_SIZE and with that rewritten,
       we can punt it
     - add some BUG_ON() checks to make sure we dont overflow the small
       cplb_bounds array
     - add i/d cplb entries for the bootrom because there is functions/data in
       there we want to access
     - we do not need a NULL trailing entry as any time we access the bounds
       arrays, we use the nr_bounds variable
