      arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page size · d5d14ed6
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      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.)

      arch/tile: support building big-endian kernel · 1efea40d
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The toolchain supports big-endian mode now, so add support for building
      the kernel to run big-endian as well.

      arch/tile: allow building Linux with transparent huge pages enabled · 73636b1a
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      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.

      arch/tile: fix __ndelay etc to work better · 13371731
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      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.

      arch/tile: Various cleanups. · c745a8a1
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      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.
