      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      This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded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: support FRAME_POINTER · 49cf78ef
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      Allow enabling frame pointer support; this makes it easier to hook
      into the various kernel features that claim they require it without
      having to add Kconfig conditionals everywhere (a la mips, ppc, s390,
      and microblaze).  When enabled, it basically eliminates leaf functions
      as such, and stops optimizing tail and sibling calls.  It adds around
      3% to the size of the kernel when enabled.

      tile: implement gettimeofday() via vDSO · 4a556f4f
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      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.

      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.

      PCI: remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI kconfig option · ebd97be6

      Now that we have weak versions for each of the PCI MSI architecture

      regardless of whether they provide or not architecture-specific
      versions of those functions. For this reason, the ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI
      hidden kconfig boolean becomes useless, and this patch gets rid of it.

      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.

      Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS · 446f24d1
      Stephen Boyd 提交于
      The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and
      s390 Kconfig.debug files.  Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was
      slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this
      option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.
      
      To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug
      and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to
      this config.
      
      Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option
      enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit
      warnings vs.  ones which emit errors.  The details of how an
      architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the
      concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls.
      
      While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code
      that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any
      architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

      block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during write · ffecfd1a
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
      needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
      schemes of jbd2.  The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
      page contents instead of waiting.
      
      For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
      (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
      setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
      dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude.  If we're
      going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
      complaints about high latency will likely return.  We might as well
      centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

      tty: Added a CONFIG_TTY option to allow removal of TTY · 4f73bc4d
      Joe Millenbach 提交于
      The option allows you to remove TTY and compile without errors. This
      saves space on systems that won't support TTY interfaces anyway.
      bloat-o-meter output is below.
      
      The bulk of this patch consists of Kconfig changes adding "depends on
      TTY" to various serial devices and similar drivers that require the TTY
      layer.  Ideally, these dependencies would occur on a common intermediate
      symbol such as SERIO, but most drivers "select SERIO" rather than
      "depends on SERIO", and "select" does not respect dependencies.
      
      bloat-o-meter output comparing our previous minimal to new minimal by
      removing TTY.  The list is filtered to not show removed entries with awk
      '$3 != "-"' as the list was very long.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.
