bb7aa6d47f [AVR32] Don't use __builtin_xchg()
The implementation of __builtin_xchg() in at least some versions of
avr32 gcc is buggy. Rather than find out exactly which versions that
have this bug, let's just avoid the problem altogether by implementing
xchg() in inline assembly.

Also, in most architectures, xchg() seems to imply a memory barrier,
while the existing avr32 implementation did not. This patch also fixes
that discrepancy.

623b0355d5 [AVR32] Clean up exception handling code
* Use generic BUG() handling
  * Remove some useless debug statements
  * Use a common function _exception() to send signals or oops when
    an exception can't be handled. This makes sure init doesn't
    enter an infinite exception loop as well. Borrowed from powerpc.
  * Add some basic exception tracing support to the page fault code.
  * Rework dump_stack(), show_regs() and friends and move everything
    into process.c
  * Print information about configuration options and chip type when
    oopsing

5f97f7f940 [PATCH] avr32 architecture
This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.

AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density.  The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.

The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf

The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture.  It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit.  It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.

Full data sheet is available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf

while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf

Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918

including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.

Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.

This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
