42086cec32 [XTENSA] Allow debugger to modify the WINDOWBASE register.
For the 'return' command, GDB needs to adjust WINDOWBASE.
In case WB is different from 0, we need to rotate the
window register file and update WINDOWSTART and WMASK.
This patch also removes some ret|= statements for
__get_user/__put_user as the address range was alrady
checked a couple of lines earlier.

c658eac628 [XTENSA] Add support for configurable registers and coprocessors
The Xtensa architecture allows to define custom instructions and
registers. Registers that are bound to a coprocessor are only
accessible if the corresponding enable bit is set, which allows
to implement a 'lazy' context switch mechanism. Other registers
needs to be saved and restore at the time of the context switch
or during interrupt handling.

This patch adds support for these additional states:

- save and restore registers that are used by the compiler upon
  interrupt entry and exit.
- context switch additional registers unbound to any coprocessor
- 'lazy' context switch of registers bound to a coprocessor
- ptrace interface to provide access to additional registers
- update configuration files in include/asm-xtensa/variant-fsf

8d7e8240e6 [XTENSA] Clean up elf-gregset.
Remove additional registers from the ELF gregset structure that
are only used by the kernel or are not required or invalid in
user-space. The ar registers are always aligned to a windowbase
value of 0, and the WB register is always assumed to be 0.
Increase the size of the structure to 128 entries. This will
provide enough space in future.

516c25a86f Cleanup asm/{elf,page,user}.h: #ifdef __KERNEL__ is no longer needed
asm/elf.h, asm/page.h and asm/user.h don't export to userspace now, so we can
drop #ifdef __KERNEL__ for them.

29c4dfd92e [XTENSA] Remove non-rt signal handling
The non-rt signal handling was never really used, so we don't break
anything. This patch also cleans up the signal stack-frame to make
it independent from the processor configuration. It also improves
the method used for controlling single-stepping. We now save and
restore the 'icountlevel' register that controls single stepping
and set or clear the saved state to enable or disable it.

173d668138 [PATCH] xtensa: remove extra header files
The Xtensa port contained many header files that were never needed.  This
rather lengthy patch removes all those files.  Unfortunately, there were
many dependencies that needed to be updated, so this patch touches quite a
few source files.

8c65b4a604 [PATCH] fix remaining missing includes
Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous
fix-missing-includes.patch.  This should now allow not to include sched.h
from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.
