This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are implemented as subsystem interfaces now. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

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.

The 32-bit TILEPro support uses some #defines in <asm/atomic_32.h> for atomic support routines in assembly.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

This support was partially present in the existing code (look for "__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx. Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file where previously there was just a foo_32.c file. The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx, using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile. Changes to existing files: - <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header. - <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve. It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const. - <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now they have the proper 64-bit contents. Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).

The existing <asm-generic/unistd.h> mechanism doesn't really provide enough to create the 64-bit "compat" ABI properly in a generic way, since the compat ABI is a mix of things were you can re-use the 64-bit versions of syscalls and things where you need a compat wrapper. To provide this in the most direct way possible, I added two new macros to go along with the existing __SYSCALL and __SC_3264 macros: __SC_COMP and SC_COMP_3264. These macros take an additional argument, typically a "compat_sys_xxx" function, which is passed to __SYSCALL if you define __SYSCALL_COMPAT when including the header, resulting in a pointer to the compat function being placed in the generated syscall table. The change also adds some missing definitions to <linux/compat.h> so that it actually has declarations for all the compat syscalls, since the "[nr] = ##call" approach requires proper C declarations for all the functions included in the syscall table. Finally, compat.c defines compat_sys_sigpending() and compat_sys_sigprocmask() even if the underlying architecture doesn't request it, which tries to pull in undefined compat_old_sigset_t defines. We need to guard those compat syscall definitions with appropriate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_xxx ifdefs. Acked-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

1. do_hardwall_trap() checks ->sighand != NULL and then takes ->siglock. This is unsafe even if the task can't run (I assume it is pinned to the same CPU), its parent can reap the task and set ->sighand = NULL right after this check. Even if the compiler dosn't read ->sighand twice and this memory can't to away __group_send_sig_info() is wrong after that. Use do_send_sig_info(). 2. Send SIGILL to the thread, not to the whole process. Unless it has the handler or blocked this kills the whole thread-group as before. IIUC, different threads can be bound to different rect's. 3.

This change adds a number of missing headers in asm (fb.h, parport.h, serial.h, and vga.h) using the minimal generic versions. It also adds a number of missing interfaces that showed up as build failures when trying to build various drivers not normally included in the "tile" distribution: ioremap_wc(), memset_io(), io{read,write}{16,32}be(), virt_to_bus(), bus_to_virt(), irq_canonicalize(), __pte(), __pgd(), and __pmd(). I also added a cast in virt_to_page() since not all callers pass a pointer. I fixed <asm/stat.h> to properly include a __KERNEL__ guard for the __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 symbol, and <asm/swab.h> to use __builtin_bswap32() even for our 64-bit architecture, since the same code is produced. I added an export for get_cycles(), since it's used in some modules.

This semantic was already true for atomic operations within the kernel, and this change makes it true for the fast atomic syscalls (__NR_cmpxchg and __NR_atomic_update) as well. Previously, user-space had to use the fast atomic syscalls exclusively to update memory, since raw stores could lose a race with the atomic update code even when the atomic update hadn't actually modified the value. With this change, we no longer write back the value to memory if it hasn't changed. This allows certain types of idioms in user space to work as expected, e.g. "atomic exchange" to acquire a spinlock, followed by a raw store of zero to release the lock.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.

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.

The problem was that this could lead to IPIs being disabled during the softirq processing after a hypervisor downcall (e.g. for I/O), since both IPI and device interrupts use the INCTRL_1 downcall mechanism. When this happened at the wrong time, it could lead to deadlock. Luckily, we were already maintaining the per-interrupt state we need, and using it in the proper way in the hypervisor, so all we had to do was to change Linux to stop blocking downcall interrupts for the entire length of the downcall. (Now they're blocked while we're executing the downcall routine itself, but not while we're executing any subsequent softirq routines.) The hypervisor is doing a very small amount of work it no longer needs to do (masking INTCTRL_1 on entry to the client interrupt routine), but doing so means that older versions of Tile Linux will continue to work with a current hypervisor, so that seems reasonable.

The current implementations of __ndelay and __udelay call a hypervisor service to delay, but the hypervisor service isn't actually implemented very well, and the consensus is that Linux should handle figuring this out natively and not use a hypervisor service. By converting nanoseconds to cycles, and then spinning until the cycle counter reaches the desired cycle, we get several benefits: first, we are sensitive to the actual clock speed; second, we use less power by issuing a slow SPR read once every six cycles while we delay; and third, we properly handle the case of an interrupt by exiting at the target time rather than after some number of cycles.

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. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned". This commit fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the old convention. One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute. Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
