Re: [PATCH] arch: uapi: asm: mman.h: Let MADV_FREE have same value for all architectures

[Chen Gang]

Hello Maintainers:

After this patch, our parisc can pass allmodconfig in linux next tree,
for me, we can say parisc specific code have no touch for allmodconfig.
:-)

But for parisc gcc latest upstream compiler, I found several issues, and
I shall try to analyse them and communicate with gcc related members.

And I also want to consult about parisc assembly instructions, I can not
find the related reference documents, could you help to have a check (or
provide some related information for it)? related contents are below:

  parisc support several store instructions: 'stb' (for store byte),
  'stw(m)' (for store word), and 'std' (for store double word).

  They should be in the same format in binary code, and have neighbour
  numbers, and 'stw(m)' need be in the middle of 'stb' and 'std'. one
  sample for the instruction 'inst' (it is 'unsigned int'):

   - for ((inst >> 26) != 0x3):

     stb: 0x18, or 0x19,
     stw: 0x1a, stwm: 0x1b,
     std: 0x1c.

   - else ((inst >> 26) == 0x3), need check '(inst >> 6) & 0xf':

     stb: 0x08, or 0x09,
     stw: 0x0a,
     std: 0x0b.

  it is about my binutils/gdb patch for parisc, gdb want to recognize
  'st??' to find the position for saving relate context (registers).


Welcome any suggestions, ideas, and completions.

Thanks.
