The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT. This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue by running fault_in_user_writeable(). This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the original value through a reference argument.

The first issue fixed in this patch is that pending rwlock write locks could lock out new readers; this could cause a deadlock if a read lock was held on cpu 1, a write lock was then attempted on cpu 2 and was pending, and cpu 1 was interrupted and attempted to re-acquire a read lock. The write lock code was modified to not lock out new readers. The second issue fixed is that there was a narrow race window where a tns instruction had been issued (setting the lock value to "1") and the store instruction to reset the lock value correctly had not yet been issued. In this case, if an interrupt occurred and the same cpu then tried to manipulate the lock, it would find the lock value set to "1" and spin forever, assuming some other cpu was partway through updating it. The fix is to enforce an interrupt critical section around the tns/store pair. In addition, this change now arranges to always validate that after a readlock we have not wrapped around the count of readers, which is only eight bits. Since these changes make the rwlock "fast path" code heavier weight, I decided to move all the rwlock code all out of line, leaving only the conventional spinlock code with fastpath inlines. Since the read_lock and read_trylock implementations ended up very similar, I just expressed read_lock in terms of read_trylock. As part of this change I also eliminate support for the now-obsolete tns_atomic mode. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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.

Previously we used iret to atomically return to kernel PL with interrupts enabled.

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 meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>

This change fixes a bug that memchr() will read the first word of the source even if the length is zero. Ironically, the code was originally written with a test to avoid exactly this problem, but to make the code conform to Linux coding standards with all declarations preceding all statements, the first load from memory was moved up above that test as the initial value for a variable. The change just moves all the variable declarations to the top of the file, with no initializers, so that the test can also be at the top of the file.

This change enables PCI root complex support for TILEPro. Unlike TILE-Gx, TILEPro has no support for memory-mapped I/O, so the PCI support consists of hypervisor upcalls for PIO, DMA, etc. However, the performance is fine for the devices we have tested with so far (1Gb Ethernet, SATA, etc.). The <asm/io.h> header was tweaked to be a little bit more aggressive about disabling attempts to map/unmap IO port space. The hacky <asm/pci-bridge.h> header was rolled into the <asm/pci.h> header and the result was simplified. Both of the latter two headers were preliminary versions not meant for release before now - oh well. There is one quirk for our TILEmpower platform, which accidentally negotiates up to 5GT and needs to be kicked down to 2.5GT. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
