      tile: remove HUGE_VMAP dead code · 4b12909f
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      A config option to allow a variant vmap() using huge pages that was never
      upstreamed had some bits of code related to it scattered around the tile
      architecture; the config option was removed downstream and this commit
      cleans up the scattered evidence of it from the upstream as well.

      tile: rework <asm/cmpxchg.h> · 6dc9658f
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The macrology in cmpxchg.h was designed to allow arbitrary pointer
      and integer values to be passed through the routines.  To support
      cmpxchg() on 64-bit values on the 32-bit tilepro architecture, we
      used the idiom "(typeof(val))(typeof(val-val))".  This way, in the
      "size 8" branch of the switch, when the underlying cmpxchg routine
      returns a 64-bit quantity, we cast it first to a typeof(val-val)
      quantity (i.e. size_t if "val" is a pointer) with no warnings about
      casting between pointers and integers of different sizes, then cast
      onwards to typeof(val), again with no warnings.  If val is not a
      pointer type, the additional cast is a no-op.  We can't replace the
      typeof(val-val) cast with (for example) unsigned long, since then if
      "val" is really a 64-bit type, we cast away the high bits.
      
      HOWEVER, this fails with current gcc (through 4.7 at least) if "val"
      is a pointer to an incomplete type.  Unfortunately gcc isn't smart
      enough to realize that "val - val" will always be a size_t type
      even if it's an incomplete type pointer.
      
      Accordingly, I've reworked the way we handle the casting.  We have
      given up the ability to use cmpxchg() on 64-bit values on tilepro,
      which is OK in the kernel since we should use cmpxchg64() explicitly
      on such values anyway.  As a result, I can just use simple "unsigned
      long" casts internally.
      
      As I reworked it, I realized it would be cleaner to move the
      architecture-specific conditionals for cmpxchg and xchg out of the
      atomic.h headers and into cmpxchg, and then use the cmpxchg() and
      xchg() primitives directly in atomic.h and elsewhere.  This allowed
      the cmpxchg.h header to stand on its own without relying on the
      implicit include of it that is performed by <asm/atomic.h>.
      It also allowed collapsing the atomic_xchg/atomic_cmpxchg routines
      from atomic_{32,64}.h into atomic.h.
      
      I improved the tests that guard the allowed size of the arguments
      to the routines to use a __compiletime_error() test.  (By avoiding
      the use of BUILD_BUG, I could include cmpxchg.h into bitops.h as
      well and use the macros there, which is otherwise impossible due
      to include order dependency issues.)
      
      The tilepro _atomic_xxx internal methods were previously set up to
      take atomic_t and atomic64_t arguments, which isn't as convenient
      with the new model, so I modified them to take int or u64 arguments,
      which is consistent with how they used the arguments internally
      anyway, so provided some nice simplification there too.

      tile: implement gettimeofday() via vDSO · 4a556f4f
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change creates the framework for vDSO calls, makes the existing
      rt_sigreturn() mechanism use it, and adds a fast gettimeofday().
      Now that we need to expose the vDSO address to userspace, we add
      AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to the set of aux entries provided to userspace.
      (You can disable any extra vDSO support by booting with vdso=0,
      but the rt_sigreturn vDSO page will still be provided.)
      
      Note that glibc has supported the tile vDSO since release 2.17.

      tile: improve big-endian support · ba02f0eb
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      First, fix a bug in asm/unaligned.h; we need to just use the asm-generic
      unaligned.h so we properly choose endian-correct flavors.
      
      Second, keep the hv/hypervisor.h ABI fully "native" in the sense that
      we don't have __BIG_ENDIAN__ ifdefs there.  Instead, we use macros in
      the head_NN.S assembly code to properly extract two 32-bit structure
      members from a 64-bit register holding the structure.

      This change adds support for CONFIG_PREEMPT (full kernel preemption).
      In addition to the core support, this change includes a number
      of places where we fix up uses of smp_processor_id() and per-cpu
      variables.  I also eliminate the PAGE_HOME_HERE and PAGE_HOME_UNKNOWN
      values for page homing, as it turns out they weren't being used.

      tile: avoid recursive backtrace faults · 3ef23111
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change adds support for avoiding recursive backtracer crashes;
      we haven't seen this in practice other than when things are seriously
      corrupt, but it may help avoid losing the root cause of a crash.
      
      Also, don't abort kernel backtracers for invalid userspace PC's.
      If we do, we lose the ability to backtrace through a userspace
      call to a bad address above PAGE_OFFSET, even though that it can
      be perfectly reasonable to continue the backtrace in such a case.

      tile: fast-path unaligned memory access for tilegx · 2f9ac29e
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change enables unaligned userspace memory access via a kernel
      fast path on tilegx.  The kernel tracks user PC/instruction pairs
      per-thread using a direct-mapped cache in userspace.  The cache
      maps those PC/instruction pairs to JIT'ed instruction sequences that
      load or store using byte-wide load store intructions and then
      synthesize 2-, 4- or 8-byte load or store results.  Once an
      instruction has been seen to generate an unaligned access once,
      subsequent hits on that instruction typically require overhead
      of only around 50 cycles if cache and TLB is hot.
      
      We support the prctl() PR_GET_UNALIGN / PR_SET_UNALIGN sys call to
      enable or disable unaligned fixups on a per-process basis.
      
      To do this we pull some of the tilepro unaligned support out of the
      single_step.c file; tilepro uses instruction disassembly for both
      single-step and unaligned access support.  Since tilegx actually has
      hardware singlestep support, though, it's cleaner to keep the tilegx
      unaligned access code in a separate file.  While we're at it,
      properly rename the tilepro-specific types, etc., to have tilepro
      suffixes instead of generic tile suffixes.

      tile: various console improvements · bda0f5ba
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change improves and cleans up the tile console.
      
      - We enable HVC_IRQ support on tilegx, with the addition of a new
        Tilera hypervisor API for tilegx to allow a console IPI.  If IPI
        support is not available we fall back to the previous polling mode.
      
      - We simplify the earlyprintk code to use CON_BOOT and eliminate some
        of the other supporting earlyprintk code.
      
      - A new tile_console_write() primitive is used to send output to
        the console and is factored out of the hvc_tile driver.
        This lets us support a "sim_console" boot argument to allow using
        simulator hooks to send output to the "console" as a slightly
        faster alternative to emulating the hardware more directly.
