A new hypervisor service was added some time ago (MDE 4.2.1 or later, or MDE 4.3 or later) that allows cores to request NMIs to be delivered to other cores. Use this facility to deliver a request that causes a backtrace to be generated on each core, and hook it into the magic SysRq functionality. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>

The "hypervisor shared" cores are ones that the Tilera hypervisor uses to receive interrupts to manage hypervisor-owned devices. It's a bad idea to try to use those cores with nohz_full, since they will get interrupted unpredictably -- and invisibly to Linux tracing tools, since the interrupts are delivered at a higher privilege level to the Tilera hypervisor. Generate a clear warning at boot up that this doesn't end well for the nohz_full cores in question. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@ezchip.com>

Newer hypervisors have an API for reporting per-cpu statistics information. This change allows seeing that information via /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/hv_stats file for each core. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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 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.

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.

This just adds a few more attributes to the information Linux can query from the hypervisor for the /sys/hypervisor/board/ directory, providing part, serial#, revision#, and description for cpu modules (as opposed to the board itself, or any mezzanine boards).

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.

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

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

User space code has been able to discover the static page size by including a special <hv/pagesize.h> file. In the current release, that file is now gone, and <asm/page.h> doesn't rely on it. The getpagesize() API is now the only way for userspace to get the page size. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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.

This change rolls up random cleanups not representing any actual bugs. - Remove a stale CONFIG_ value from the default tile_defconfig - Remove unused tns_atomic_xxx() family of methods from <asm/atomic.h> - Optimize get_order() using Tile's "clz" instruction - Fix a bad hypervisor upcall name (not currently used in Linux anyway) - Use __copy_in_user_inatomic() name for consistency, and export it - Export some additional hypervisor driver I/O upcalls and some homecache calls - Remove the obfuscating MEMCPY_TEST_WH64 support code - Other stray comment cleanups, #if 0 removal, etc. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

None of these changes fix any actual bugs, but are just various cleanups that fell out along the way. In particular, some unused #defines and includes are removed, PREFETCH_STRIDE is added (the default is right for our shipping chips, but wrong for our next generation), our tile-specific prefetching code is removed so the (identical) generic prefetching code can be used instead, a comment is fixed to be proper GPL and not just a "paste GPL here" token, a "//" comment is converted to "/* */", etc. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Acked-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips. No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet. This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic; and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
