      tile: Replace __get_cpu_var uses · b4f50191
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      __get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
      them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
      the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
      based on an offset.
      
      Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
      processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
      writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
      
      __get_cpu_var() is defined as :
      
      #define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
      
      __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
      and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
      other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
      
      this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
      percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
      variables.
      
      This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
      calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
      use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
      are used when code is generated.
      
      At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
      the macro is removed too.
      
      The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
      are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
      arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
      register that may be set to the per cpu base.
      
      Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
      
      1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
      	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
      
          Converts to
      
      	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
      
      2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
      	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
      
          Converts to
      
      	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
      
      3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
      variable.
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
      	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
      
         Converts to
      
      	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
      
      4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
      	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
      
         Converts to
      
      	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
      
      5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
      	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
      
         Converts to
      
      	__this_cpu_write(y, x);
      
      6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
      
      	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
      	__get_cpu_var(y)++
      
         Converts to
      
      	__this_cpu_inc(y)

      tile: remove support for TILE64 · d7c96611
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded
      by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and
      toolchain in the community do not support it.  It's unlikely that the
      kernel works with TILE64 at this point as the configuration has not been
      tested in years.  The support is also awkward as it requires maintaining
      a significant number of ifdefs.  So, just remove it altogether.

      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.

      VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper function · 6be5ceb0
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
      vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
      required VM locking.
      
      This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
      duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c.  But that way we don't have
      to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.
      
      Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
      modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead.  We're actually
      very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
      use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.

      arch/tile: factor out <arch/opcode.h> header · eb7c792d
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The kernel code was using some <asm> headers that included a mix
      of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera <arch>
      headers) and structures, enums, and function declarations supporting
      the disassembly function of the tile-desc.c sources.
      
      This change refactors that code so that a hardware-specific, but
      OS- and application-agnostic header, is created: <arch/opcode.h>.
      This header is then exported to userspace along with the other
      <arch> headers and can be used to build userspace code; in particular,
      it is used by glibc as part of implementing the backtrace() function.
      
      The new header, together with a header that specifically describes
      the disassembly code (<asm/tile-desc.h> with _32 and _64 variants),
      replaces the old <asm/opcode-tile*.h> and <asm/opcode_constants*.h>
      headers.
      
      As part of this change, we are also renaming the 32-bit constants
      from TILE_xxx to TILEPRO_xxx to better reflect the fact that they
      are specific to the TILEPro architecture, and not to TILE-Gx
      and any successor "tile" architecture chips.

      arch/tile: support signal "exception-trace" hook · 571d76ac
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change adds support for /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace to tile.
      Like x86 and sparc, by default it is set to "1", generating a one-line
      printk whenever a user process crashes.  By setting it to "2", we get
      a much more complete userspace diagnostic at crash time, including
      a user-space backtrace, register dump, and memory dump around the
      address of the crash.
      
      Some vestiges of the Tilera-internal version of this support are
      removed with this patch (the show_crashinfo variable and the
      arch_coredump_signal function).  We retain a "crashinfo" boot parameter
      which allows you to set the boot-time value of exception-trace.

      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: 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: 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.
