It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after the tick is stopped. To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs: tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu(). If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(). Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly: - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put to sleep. - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken up.

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two places: - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in case the irq changed some internal state that requires this action. There are only few minor differences between both that are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended quiescent state from idle loop entry only. Split this function into: - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU extended quiescent state. - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called). To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed into tick_nohz_idle_exit(). This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle loop.

This support was partially present in the existing code (look for "__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx. Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file where previously there was just a foo_32.c file. The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx, using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile. Changes to existing files: - <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header. - <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve. It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const. - <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now they have the proper 64-bit contents. Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).

This support is required for CONFIG_KEYS, NFSv4 kernel DNS, etc. The change is slightly more complex than the minimal thing, since I took advantage of having to go into the assembly code to just move a bunch of stuff into C code: specifically, the schedule(), do_async_page_fault(), do_signal(), and single_step_once() support, in addition to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support.

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.

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>

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>

With this change we now include <asm-generic/syscalls.h> into the "tile" version of the header. To take full advantage of the prototypes there, we also change our naming convention for "struct pt_regs *" syscalls so that, e.g., _sys_execve() is the "true" syscall entry, which sets the appropriate register to point to the pt_regs before calling sys_execve(). While doing this I realized I no longer needed the fork and vfork entry point stubs, since those functions aren't in the generic syscall ABI, so I removed them as well.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

This commit is primarily changes caused by reviewing "sparse" and "checkpatch" output on our sources, so is somewhat noisy, since things like "printk() -> pr_err()" (or whatever) throughout the codebase tend to get tedious to read. Rather than trying to tease apart precisely which things changed due to which type of code review, this commit includes various cleanups in the code: - sparse: Add declarations in headers for globals. - sparse: Fix __user annotations. - sparse: Using gfp_t consistently instead of int. - sparse: removing functions not actually used. - checkpatch: Clean up printk() warnings by using pr_info(), etc.; also avoid partial-line printks except in bootup code. - checkpatch: Use exposed structs rather than typedefs. - checkpatch: Change some C99 comments to C89 comments. In addition, a couple of minor other changes are rolled in to this commit: - Add support for a "raise" instruction to cause SIGFPE, etc., to be raised. - Remove some compat code that is unnecessary when we fully eliminate some of the deprecated syscalls from the generic syscall ABI. - Update the tile_defconfig to reflect current config contents.

It turns out there is some variance on the calling conventions for these syscalls, and <asm-generic/syscalls.h> is already the mechanism used to handle this.

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/.
