      arch/tile: fix hardwall for tilegx and generalize for idn and ipi · b8ace083
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The hardwall drain code was not properly implemented for tilegx,
      just tilepro, so you couldn't reliably restart an application that
      made use of the udn.
      
      In addition, the code was only applicable to the udn (user dynamic
      network).  On tilegx there is a second user network that is available
      (the "idn"), and there is support for having I/O shims deliver
      user-level interrupts to applications ("ipi") which functions in a
      very similar way to the inter-core permissions used for udn/idn.
      So this change also generalizes the code from supporting just the udn
      to supports udn/idn/ipi on tilegx.
      
      By default we now use /dev/hardwall/{udn,idn,ipi} with separate
      minor numbers for the three devices.

      arch/tile: more /proc and /sys file support · f133ecca
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change introduces a few of the less controversial /proc and
      /proc/sys interfaces for tile, along with sysfs attributes for
      various things that were originally proposed as /proc/tile files.
      It also adjusts the "hardwall" proc API.
      
      Arnd Bergmann reviewed the initial arch/tile submission, which
      included a complete set of all the /proc/tile and /proc/sys/tile
      knobs that we had added in a somewhat ad hoc way during initial
      development, and provided feedback on where most of them should go.
      
      One knob turned out to be similar enough to the existing
      /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace that it was re-implemented to use
      that model instead.
      
      Another knob was /proc/tile/grid, which reported the "grid" dimensions
      of a tile chip (e.g. 8x8 processors = 64-core chip).  Arnd suggested
      looking at sysfs for that, so this change moves that information
      to a pair of sysfs attributes (chip_width and chip_height) in the
      /sys/devices/system/cpu directory.  We also put the "chip_serial"
      and "chip_revision" information from our old /proc/tile/board file
      as attributes in /sys/devices/system/cpu.
      
      Other information collected via hypervisor APIs is now placed in
      /sys/hypervisor.  We create a /sys/hypervisor/type file (holding the
      constant string "tilera") to be parallel with the Xen use of
      /sys/hypervisor/type holding "xen".  We create three top-level files,
      "version" (the hypervisor's own version), "config_version" (the
      version of the configuration file), and "hvconfig" (the contents of
      the configuration file).  The remaining information from our old
      /proc/tile/board and /proc/tile/switch files becomes an attribute
      group appearing under /sys/hypervisor/board/.
      
      Finally, after some feedback from Arnd Bergmann for the previous
      version of this patch, the /proc/tile/hardwall file is split up into
      two conceptual parts.  First, a directory /proc/tile/hardwall/ which
      contains one file per active hardwall, each file named after the
      hardwall's ID and holding a cpulist that says which cpus are enclosed by
      the hardwall.  Second, a /proc/PID file "hardwall" that is either
      empty (for non-hardwall-using processes) or contains the hardwall ID.
      
      Finally, this change pushes the /proc/sys/tile/unaligned_fixup/
      directory, with knobs controlling the kernel code for handling the
      fixup of unaligned exceptions.

      arch/tile: Add driver to enable access to the user dynamic network. · 9f9c0382
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This network (the "UDN") connects all the cpus on the chip in a
      wormhole-routed dynamic network.  Subrectangles of the chip can
      be allocated by a "create" ioctl on /dev/hardwall, and then to access the
      UDN in that rectangle, tasks must perform an "activate" ioctl on that
      same file object after affinitizing themselves to a single cpu in
      the region.  Sending a wormhole-routed message that tries to leave
      that subrectangle causes all activated tasks to receive a SIGILL
      (just as they would if they tried to access the UDN without first
      activating themselves to a hardwall rectangle).
      
      The original submission of this code to LKML had the driver
      instantiated under /proc/tile/hardwall.  Now we just use a character
      device for this, conventionally /dev/hardwall.  Some futures planning
      for the TILE-Gx chip suggests that we may want to have other types of
      devices that share the general model of "bind a task to a cpu, then
      'activate' a file descriptor on a pseudo-device that gives access to
      some hardware resource".  As such, we are using a device rather
      than, for example, a syscall, to set up and activate this code.
      
      As part of this change, the compat_ptr() declaration was fixed and used
      to pass the compat_ioctl argument to the normal ioctl.  So far we limit
      compat code to 2GB, so the difference between zero-extend and sign-extend
      (the latter being correct, eventually) had been overlooked.
