      tile: fix bug where fls(0) was not returning 0 · 9f1d62be
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This is because __builtin_clz(0) returns 64 for the "undefined" case
      of 0, since the builtin just does a right-shift 32 and "clz" instruction.
      So, use the alpha approach of casting to u32 and using __builtin_clzll().

      arch/tile: fix hardwall for tilegx and generalize for idn and ipi · b8ace083
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      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.

      arch/tile: support multiple huge page sizes dynamically · 621b1955
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change adds support for a new "super" bit in the PTE, using the new
      arch_make_huge_pte() method.  The Tilera hypervisor sees the bit set at a
      given level of the page table and gangs together 4, 16, or 64 consecutive
      pages from that level of the hierarchy to create a larger TLB entry.
      
      One extra "super" page size can be specified at each of the three levels
      of the page table hierarchy on tilegx, using the "hugepagesz" argument
      on the boot command line.  A new hypervisor API is added to allow Linux
      to tell the hypervisor how many PTEs to gang together at each level of
      the page table.
      
      To allow pre-allocating huge pages larger than the buddy allocator can
      handle, this change modifies the Tilera bootmem support to put all of
      memory on tilegx platforms into bootmem.
      
      As part of this change I eliminate the vestigial CONFIG_HIGHPTE support,
      which never worked anyway, and eliminate the hv_page_size() API in favor
      of the standard vma_kernel_pagesize() API.

      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: optimize get_user/put_user and friends · 47d632f9
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      Use direct load/store for the get_user/put_user.
      
      Previously, we would call out to a helper routine that would do the
      appropriate thing and then return, handling the possible exception
      internally.  Now we inline the load or store, along with a "we succeeded"
      indication in a register; if the load or store faults, we write a
      "we failed" indication into the same register and then return to the
      following instruction.  This is more efficient and gives us more compact
      code, as well as being more in line with what other architectures do.
      
      The special futex assembly source file for TILE-Gx also disappears in
      this change; we just use the same inlining idiom there as well, putting
      the appropriate atomic operations directly into futex_atomic_op_inuser()
      (and thus into the FUTEX_WAIT function).
      
      The underlying atomic copy_from_user, copy_to_user functions were
      renamed using the (cryptic) x86 convention as copy_from_user_ll and
      copy_to_user_ll.

      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: use interrupt critical sections less · 51007004
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      In general we want to avoid ever touching memory while within an
      interrupt critical section, since the page fault path goes through
      a different path from the hypervisor when in an interrupt critical
      section, and we carefully decided with tilegx that we didn't need
      to support this path in the kernel.  (On tilepro we did implement
      that path as part of supporting atomic instructions in software.)
      
      In practice we always need to touch the kernel stack, since that's
      where we store the interrupt state before releasing the critical
      section, but this change cleans up a few things.  The IRQ_ENABLE
      macro is split up so that when we want to enable interrupts in a
      deferred way (e.g. for cpu_idle or for interrupt return) we can
      read the per-cpu enable mask before entering the critical section.
      The cache-migration code is changed to use interrupt masking instead
      of interrupt critical sections.  And, the interrupt-entry code is
      changed so that we defer loading "tp" from per-cpu data until after
      we have released the interrupt critical section.

      arch/tile: fix up some issues in calling do_work_pending() · fc327e26
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      First, we were at risk of handling thread-info flags, in particular
      do_signal(), when returning from kernel space.  This could happen
      after a failed kernel_execve(), or when forking a kernel thread.
      The fix is to test in do_work_pending() for user_mode() and return
      immediately if so; we already had this test for one of the flags,
      so I just hoisted it to the top of the function.
      
      Second, if a ptraced process updated the callee-saved registers
      in the ptregs struct and then processed another thread-info flag, we
      would overwrite the modifications with the original callee-saved
      registers.  To fix this, we add a register to note if we've already
      saved the registers once, and skip doing it on additional passes
      through the loop.  To avoid a performance hit from the couple of
      extra instructions involved, I modified the GET_THREAD_INFO() macro
      to be guaranteed to be one instruction, then bundled it with adjacent
      instructions, yielding an overall net savings.

      sched/numa: Rewrite the CONFIG_NUMA sched domain support · cb83b629

      The current code groups up to 16 nodes in a level and then puts an

      Therefore, build a proper numa topology based on node_distance().
      
      Since there's no fixed numa layers anymore, the static SD_NODE_INIT
      and SD_ALLNODES_INIT aren't usable anymore, the new code tries to
      construct something similar and scales some values either on the
      number of cpus in the domain and/or the node_distance() ratio.

      smp: introduce a generic on_each_cpu_mask() function · 3fc498f1
      Gilad Ben-Yossef 提交于
      We have lots of infrastructure in place to partition multi-core systems
      such that we have a group of CPUs that are dedicated to specific task:
      cgroups, scheduler and interrupt affinity, and cpuisol= boot parameter.
      Still, kernel code will at times interrupt all CPUs in the system via IPIs
      for various needs.  These IPIs are useful and cannot be avoided
      altogether, but in certain cases it is possible to interrupt only specific
      CPUs that have useful work to do and not the entire system.
      
      This patch set, inspired by discussions with Peter Zijlstra and Frederic
      Weisbecker when testing the nohz task patch set, is a first stab at trying
      to explore doing this by locating the places where such global IPI calls
      are being made and turning the global IPI into an IPI for a specific group
      of CPUs.  The purpose of the patch set is to get feedback if this is the
      right way to go for dealing with this issue and indeed, if the issue is
      even worth dealing with at all.  Based on the feedback from this patch set
      I plan to offer further patches that address similar issue in other code
      paths.
      
      This patch creates an on_each_cpu_mask() and on_each_cpu_cond()
      infrastructure API (the former derived from existing arch specific
      versions in Tile and Arm) and uses them to turn several global IPI
      invocation to per CPU group invocations.
      
      Core kernel:
      
      on_each_cpu_mask() calls a function on processors specified by cpumask,
      which may or may not include the local processor.
      
      You must not call this function with disabled interrupts or from a
      hardware interrupt handler or from a bottom half handler.
      
      arch/arm:
      
      Note that the generic version is a little different then the Arm one:
      
      1. It has the mask as first parameter
      2. It calls the function on the calling CPU with interrupts disabled,
         but this should be OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
         with interrupts disabled anyway.
      
      arch/tile:
      
      The API is the same as the tile private one, but the generic version
      also calls the function on the with interrupts disabled in UP case
      
      This is OK since the function is called on the other CPUs
      with interrupts disabled.

      [PATCH v3] ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls · 48b25c43
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
      be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
      in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
      compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.
      
      However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
      syscalls do not do this.  semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
      argument, instead of the fourth argument itself.  msgsnd(), msgrcv()
      and shmat() expect arguments in different order.
      
      This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
      set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
      s390, and mips).  No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
      and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.
      
      Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
      as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
      avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
      compat layer.  In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
      mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect.
      
      The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
      with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
      not being properly handled.

      arch/tile: factor out <arch/opcode.h> header · eb7c792d
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      The kernel code was using some <asm> headers that included a mix
      of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera <arch>
      headers) and structures, enums, and function declarations supporting
      the disassembly function of the tile-desc.c sources.
      
      This change refactors that code so that a hardware-specific, but
      OS- and application-agnostic header, is created: <arch/opcode.h>.
      This header is then exported to userspace along with the other
      <arch> headers and can be used to build userspace code; in particular,
      it is used by glibc as part of implementing the backtrace() function.
      
      The new header, together with a header that specifically describes
      the disassembly code (<asm/tile-desc.h> with _32 and _64 variants),
      replaces the old <asm/opcode-tile*.h> and <asm/opcode_constants*.h>
      headers.
      
      As part of this change, we are also renaming the 32-bit constants
      from TILE_xxx to TILEPRO_xxx to better reflect the fact that they
      are specific to the TILEPro architecture, and not to TILE-Gx
      and any successor "tile" architecture chips.

      arch/tile: add the <arch> headers to the set of installed kernel headers · aeddea5d
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      These headers are similar to the <asm> headers that describe kernel
      APIs, but instead describe aspects of the actual hardware in an
      OS- and application-independent manner.  We need to include them in
      the set of installed headers so that userspace tools (including glibc)
      can build purely from the provided kernel headers.

      arch/tile: avoid ISO namespace pollution with <asm/sigcontext.h> · e0b1f39d
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      <asm/sigcontext.h> is used by glibc's <bits/sigcontext.h> from <signal.h>,
      which means that it can't clutter the namespace with random symbols
      or #defines.  However, we use <arch/abi.h> to get a suitable type to
      hold a machine register.
      
      This change makes <arch/abi.h> safe to use in this kind of context
      if __need_int_reg_t is defined prior to including the file; in that
      case, it only defines a few symbols that are safe in the ISO namespace
      (prefixed with double underscores).  <asm/sigcontext.h> then uses
      the __uint_reg_t type instead of the normal uint_reg_t.
