      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.

      tile: support new Tilera hypervisor · c539914d
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The Tilera hypervisor shipped in releases up through MDE 4.1 launches
      the client operating system (i.e. Linux) at privilege level 1 (PL1).
      Starting with MDE 4.2, as part of the work to enable KVM, the
      Tilera hypervisor launches Linux at PL2 instead.
      
      This commit makes the KERNEL_PL option default to 2 for tilegx, while
      still saying at 1 for tilepro, which doesn't have an updated hypervisor.
      It also explains how and when you might want to choose another value.
      In addition, we change a small buglet in the on-chip Ethernet driver,
      where we were failing to use the KERNEL_PL constant in an API call.
      
      To make the transition cleaner, this change also provides the updated
      hv_init() API for the new hypervisor that supports announcing Linux's
      compiled-in PL, so the hypervisor can generate a suitable error in the
      case of a mismatched hypervisor and Linux binary.

      arch/tile: provide kernel support for the tilegx USB shim · d1cc1732
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change adds support for accessing the USB shim from within the
      kernel.  Note that this change by itself does not allow the kernel
      to act as a host or as a device; it merely exposes the built-in on-chip
      hardware to the kernel.
      
      The <arch/usb_host.h> and <arch/usb_host_def.h> headers are empty at
      the moment because the kernel does not require any types or definitions
      specific to the tilegx USB shim; the generic USB core code is all we need.
      The headers are left in as stubs so that we don't need to modify the
      hypervisor header (drv_usb_host_intf.h) from upstream.

      arch/tile: introduce GXIO IORPC framework for tilegx · 37b82b5d
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The GXIO I/O RPC subsystem handles exporting I/O hardware resources to
      Linux and to applications running under Linux.
      
      For instance, memory which is made available for I/O DMA must be mapped
      by an I/O TLB; that means that such memory must be locked down by Linux,
      so that it is not swapped or otherwise reused, as long as those I/O
      TLB entries are active. Similarly, configuring direct hardware access
      introduces new validation requirements. If a user application registers
      memory, Linux must ensure that the supplied virtual addresses are valid,
      and turn them into client physical addresses. Similarly, when Linux then
      supplies those client physical addresses to the Tilera hypervisor, it
      must in turn validate those before turning them into the real physical
      addresses which are required by the hardware.
      
      To the extent that these sorts of activities were required on previous
      TILE architecture processors, they were implemented in a device-specific
      fashion. This meant that every I/O device had its own Tilera hypervisor
      driver, its own Linux driver, and in some cases its own user-level
      library support. There was a large amount of more-or-less functionally
      identical code in different places, particularly in the different Linux
      drivers. For TILE-Gx, this support has been generalized into a common
      framework, known as the I/O RPC framework or just IORPC.
      
      The two "gxio" directories (one for headers, one for sources) start
      with just a few files in each with this infrastructure commit, but
      after adding support for the on-board I/O shims for networking, PCI,
      USB, crypto, compression, I2CS, etc., there end up being about 20 files
      in each directory.
      
      More information on the IORPC framework is in the <hv/iorpc.h> header,
      included in this commit.

      arch/tile: support multiple huge page sizes dynamically · 621b1955
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change adds support for a new "super" bit in the PTE, using the new
      arch_make_huge_pte() method.  The Tilera hypervisor sees the bit set at a
      given level of the page table and gangs together 4, 16, or 64 consecutive
      pages from that level of the hierarchy to create a larger TLB entry.
      
      One extra "super" page size can be specified at each of the three levels
      of the page table hierarchy on tilegx, using the "hugepagesz" argument
      on the boot command line.  A new hypervisor API is added to allow Linux
      to tell the hypervisor how many PTEs to gang together at each level of
      the page table.
      
      To allow pre-allocating huge pages larger than the buddy allocator can
      handle, this change modifies the Tilera bootmem support to put all of
      memory on tilegx platforms into bootmem.
      
      As part of this change I eliminate the vestigial CONFIG_HIGHPTE support,
      which never worked anyway, and eliminate the hv_page_size() API in favor
      of the standard vma_kernel_pagesize() API.

      arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page size · d5d14ed6
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change introduces new flags for the hv_install_context()
      API that passes a page table pointer to the hypervisor.  Clients
      can explicitly request 4K, 16K, or 64K small pages when they
      install a new context.  In practice, the page size is fixed at
      kernel compile time and the same size is always requested every
      time a new page table is installed.
      
      The <hv/hypervisor.h> header changes so that it provides more abstract
      macros for managing "page" things like PFNs and page tables.  For
      example there is now a HV_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL instead of the old
      HV_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL.  The various PFN routines have been eliminated and
      only PA- or PTFN-based ones remain (since PTFNs are always expressed
      in fixed 2KB "page" size).  The page-table management macros are
      renamed with a leading underscore and take page-size arguments with
      the presumption that clients will use those macros in some single
      place to provide the "real" macros they will use themselves.
      
      I happened to notice the old hv_set_caching() API was totally broken
      (it assumed 4KB pages) so I changed it so it would nominally work
      correctly with other page sizes.
      
      Tag modules with the page size so you can't load a module built with
      a conflicting page size.  (And add a test for SMP while we're at it.)

      arch/tile: allow building Linux with transparent huge pages enabled · 73636b1a
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The change adds some infrastructure for managing tile pmd's more generally,
      using pte_pmd() and pmd_pte() methods to translate pmd values to and
      from ptes, since on TILEPro a pmd is really just a nested structure
      holding a pgd (aka pte).  Several existing pmd methods are moved into
      this framework, and a whole raft of additional pmd accessors are defined
      that are used by the transparent hugepage framework.
      
      The tile PTE now has a "client2" bit.  The bit is used to indicate a
      transparent huge page is in the process of being split into subpages.
      
      This change also fixes a generic bug where the return value of the
      generic pmdp_splitting_flush() was incorrect.

      arch/tile: add hypervisor-based character driver for SPI flash ROM · dbcb4a1a
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The first version of this patch proposed an arch/tile/drivers/ directory,
      but the consensus was that this was probably a poor choice for a place to
      group Tilera-specific drivers, and that in any case grouping by platform
      was discouraged, and grouping by function was preferred.
      
      This version of the patch addresses various issues raised in the
      community, primarily the absence of sysfs integration.  The sysfs
      integration now handles passing information on sector size, page size,
      and total partition size to userspace as well.  In addition, we now
      use a single "struct cdev" to manage all the partition minor devices,
      and dynamically discover the correct number of partitions from the
      hypervisor rather than using a module_param with a default value.
      
      This driver has no particular "peer" drivers it can be grouped with.
      It is sort of like an MTD driver for SPI ROM, but it doesn't group well
      with the other MTD devices since it relies on hypervisor virtualization
      to handle many of the irritating aspects of flash ROM management: sector
      awareness, background read for sub-sector writes, bit examination to
      determine whether a sector erase needs to be issued, etc.  It is in fact
      more like an EEPROM driver, but the hypervisor virtualization does require
      a "flush" command if you wish to commit a sector write prior to writing
      to a different sector, and this is sufficiently different from generic
      I2C/SPI EEPROMs that as a result it doesn't group well with them either.
      
      The simple character device is already in use by a range of Tilera
      SPI ROM management tools, as well as by customers.  In addition, using
      the simple character device actually simplifies the userspace tools,
      since they don't need to manage sector erase, background read, etc.
      This both simplifies the code (since we can uniformly manage plain files
      and the SPI ROM) as well as makes the user code portable to non-Linux
      platforms that don't offer the same MTD ioctls.

      arch/tile: fix __ndelay etc to work better · 13371731
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      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.
