The arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f8, is hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header, any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well. This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax, and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant, I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and toolchain in the community do not support it.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. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

The existing code relied on the hardware definition (<arch/chip.h>) to specify how much VA and PA space was available. It's convenient to allow customizing this for some configurations, so provide symbols MAX_PA_WIDTH and MAX_VA_WIDTH in <asm/page.h> that can be modified if desired. Additionally, move away from the MEM_XX_INTRPT nomenclature to define the start of various regions within the VA space. In fact the cleaner symbol is, for example, MEM_SV_START, to indicate the start of the area used for supervisor code; the actual address of the interrupt vectors is not as important, and can be changed if desired. As part of this change, convert from "intrpt1" nomenclature (which built in the old privilege-level 1 model) to a simple "intrpt". Also strip out some tilepro-specific code supporting modifying the PL the kernel could run at, since we don't actually support using different PLs in tilepro, only tilegx.

Technically, user privilege is anything less than kernel privilege. We modify the existing user_mode() macro to have this semantic (and use it in a couple of places it wasn't being used before), and add an IS_KERNEL_EX1() macro to the assembly code as well.

Previously, we used a special-purpose register (SPR_SYSTEM_SAVE_K_0) to hold the CPU number and the top of the current kernel stack by using the low bits to hold the CPU number, and using the high bits to hold the address of the page just above where we'd want the kernel stack to be. That way we could initialize a new SP when first entering the kernel by just masking the SPR value and subtracting a couple of words. However, it's actually more useful to be able to place an arbitrary kernel-top value in the SPR. This allows us to create a new stack context (e.g. for virtualization) with an arbitrary top-of-stack VA. To make this work, we now store the CPU number in the high bits, above the highest legal VA bit (42 bits in the current tilegx microarchitecture). The full 42 bits are thus available to store the top of stack value. Getting the current cpu (a relatively common operation) is still fast; it's now a shift rather than a mask. We make this change only for tilegx, since tilepro has too few SPR bits to do this, and we don't need this support on tilepro anyway. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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.

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.

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

Most of the stuff from kernel/sched.c was moved to kernel/sched/core.c long time back and the comments/Documentation never got updated. I figured it out when I was going through sched-domains.txt and so thought of fixing it globally.

The hardwall drain code was not properly implemented for tilegx, just tilepro, so you couldn't reliably restart an application that made use of the udn. In addition, the code was only applicable to the udn (user dynamic network). On tilegx there is a second user network that is available (the "idn"), and there is support for having I/O shims deliver user-level interrupts to applications ("ipi") which functions in a very similar way to the inter-core permissions used for udn/idn. So this change also generalizes the code from supporting just the udn to supports udn/idn/ipi on tilegx. By default we now use /dev/hardwall/{udn,idn,ipi} with separate minor numbers for the three devices. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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 change adds the first network driver for the tile architecture, supporting the on-chip XGBE and GBE shims. The infrastructure is present for the TILE-Gx networking drivers (another three source files in the new directory) but for now the the actual tilegx sources are waiting on releasing hardware to initial customers. Note that arch/tile/include/hv/* are "upstream" headers from the Tilera hypervisor and will probably benefit less from LKML review. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

This network (the "UDN") connects all the cpus on the chip in a wormhole-routed dynamic network. Subrectangles of the chip can be allocated by a "create" ioctl on /dev/hardwall, and then to access the UDN in that rectangle, tasks must perform an "activate" ioctl on that same file object after affinitizing themselves to a single cpu in the region. Sending a wormhole-routed message that tries to leave that subrectangle causes all activated tasks to receive a SIGILL (just as they would if they tried to access the UDN without first activating themselves to a hardwall rectangle). The original submission of this code to LKML had the driver instantiated under /proc/tile/hardwall. Now we just use a character device for this, conventionally /dev/hardwall. Some futures planning for the TILE-Gx chip suggests that we may want to have other types of devices that share the general model of "bind a task to a cpu, then 'activate' a file descriptor on a pseudo-device that gives access to some hardware resource". As such, we are using a device rather than, for example, a syscall, to set up and activate this code. As part of this change, the compat_ptr() declaration was fixed and used to pass the compat_ioctl argument to the normal ioctl. So far we limit compat code to 2GB, so the difference between zero-extend and sign-extend (the latter being correct, eventually) had been overlooked.
