This just adds a few more attributes to the information Linux can query from the hypervisor for the /sys/hypervisor/board/ directory, providing part, serial#, revision#, and description for cpu modules (as opposed to the board itself, or any mezzanine boards).

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.

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.) Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

The toolchain supports big-endian mode now, so add support for building the kernel to run big-endian as well. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

User space code has been able to discover the static page size by including a special <hv/pagesize.h> file. In the current release, that file is now gone, and <asm/page.h> doesn't rely on it. The getpagesize() API is now the only way for userspace to get the page size. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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.

While not a port to KVM (yet), this change modifies the kernel to be able to build either at PL1 or at PL2 with a suitable config switch. Pushing up this change avoids handling branch merge issues going forward with the KVM work. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

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. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

None of these changes fix any actual bugs, but are just various cleanups that fell out along the way. In particular, some unused #defines and includes are removed, PREFETCH_STRIDE is added (the default is right for our shipping chips, but wrong for our next generation), our tile-specific prefetching code is removed so the (identical) generic prefetching code can be used instead, a comment is fixed to be proper GPL and not just a "paste GPL here" token, a "//" comment is converted to "/* */", etc. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Acked-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

This model is based on the on-chip interrupt model used by the TILE-Gx next-generation hardware, and interacts much more cleanly with the Linux generic IRQ layer. The change includes modifications to the Tilera hypervisor, which are reflected in the hypervisor headers in arch/tile/include/arch/.

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/.
