      arch/tile: support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME · 313ce674
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This support is required for CONFIG_KEYS, NFSv4 kernel DNS, etc.
      The change is slightly more complex than the minimal thing, since
      I took advantage of having to go into the assembly code to just
      move a bunch of stuff into C code: specifically, the schedule(),
      do_async_page_fault(), do_signal(), and single_step_once() support,
      in addition to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support.

      arch/tile: support 4KB page size as well as 64KB · 76c567fb
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The Tilera architecture traditionally supports 64KB page sizes
      to improve TLB utilization and improve performance when the
      hardware is being used primarily to run a single application.
      
      For more generic server scenarios, it can be beneficial to run
      with 4KB page sizes, so this commit allows that to be specified
      (by modifying the arch/tile/include/hv/pagesize.h header).
      
      As part of this change, we also re-worked the PTE management
      slightly so that PTE writes all go through a __set_pte() function
      where we can do some additional validation.  The set_pte_order()
      function was eliminated since the "order" argument wasn't being used.
      
      One bug uncovered was in the PCI DMA code, which wasn't properly
      flushing the specified range.  This was benign with 64KB pages,
      but with 4KB pages we were getting some larger flushes wrong.
      
      The per-cpu memory reservation code also needed updating to
      conform with the newer percpu stuff; before it always chose 64KB,
      and that was always correct, but with 4KB granularity we now have
      to pay closer attention and reserve the amount of memory that will
      be requested when the percpu code starts allocating.

      arch/tile: bug fix: exec'ed task thought it was still single-stepping · 04f7a3f1
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      To handle single-step, tile mmap's a page of memory in the process
      space for each thread and uses it to construct a version of the
      instruction that we want to single step.  If the process exec's,
      though, we lose that mapping, and the kernel needs to be aware that
      it will need to recreate it if the exec'ed process than tries to
      single-step as well.
      
      Also correct some int32_t to s32 for better kernel style.

      arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user space · bc4cf2bb
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the
      new task as started by clone() in libc.  However, this is not
      quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to
      the new task before it had its TLS set up.  (Of course, this race
      window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value
      in the new task, in principle.  But in any case, we are now doing
      this exactly the way all other architectures do it.)
      
      This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will
      be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more,
      so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix.  It should
      also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible.

      Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer · d7627467
      David Howells 提交于
      Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
      correctly on ARM:
      
      arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
      
      This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
      the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
      because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
      copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
      pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
      
      do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
      or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
      const should be fine.
      
      Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
      
      This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

      arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes. · 0707ad30
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This commit is primarily changes caused by reviewing "sparse"
      and "checkpatch" output on our sources, so is somewhat noisy, since
      things like "printk() -> pr_err()" (or whatever) throughout the
      codebase tend to get tedious to read.  Rather than trying to tease
      apart precisely which things changed due to which type of code
      review, this commit includes various cleanups in the code:
      
      - sparse: Add declarations in headers for globals.
      - sparse: Fix __user annotations.
      - sparse: Using gfp_t consistently instead of int.
      - sparse: removing functions not actually used.
      - checkpatch: Clean up printk() warnings by using pr_info(), etc.;
        also avoid partial-line printks except in bootup code.
        - checkpatch: Use exposed structs rather than typedefs.
        - checkpatch: Change some C99 comments to C89 comments.
      
      In addition, a couple of minor other changes are rolled in
      to this commit:
      
      - Add support for a "raise" instruction to cause SIGFPE, etc., to be raised.
      - Remove some compat code that is unnecessary when we fully eliminate
        some of the deprecated syscalls from the generic syscall ABI.
      - Update the tile_defconfig to reflect current config contents.
