      arch/tile: more /proc and /sys file support · f133ecca
      Chris Metcalf 提交于
      This change introduces a few of the less controversial /proc and
      /proc/sys interfaces for tile, along with sysfs attributes for
      various things that were originally proposed as /proc/tile files.
      It also adjusts the "hardwall" proc API.
      
      Arnd Bergmann reviewed the initial arch/tile submission, which
      included a complete set of all the /proc/tile and /proc/sys/tile
      knobs that we had added in a somewhat ad hoc way during initial
      development, and provided feedback on where most of them should go.
      
      One knob turned out to be similar enough to the existing
      /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace that it was re-implemented to use
      that model instead.
      
      Another knob was /proc/tile/grid, which reported the "grid" dimensions
      of a tile chip (e.g. 8x8 processors = 64-core chip).  Arnd suggested
      looking at sysfs for that, so this change moves that information
      to a pair of sysfs attributes (chip_width and chip_height) in the
      /sys/devices/system/cpu directory.  We also put the "chip_serial"
      and "chip_revision" information from our old /proc/tile/board file
      as attributes in /sys/devices/system/cpu.
      
      Other information collected via hypervisor APIs is now placed in
      /sys/hypervisor.  We create a /sys/hypervisor/type file (holding the
      constant string "tilera") to be parallel with the Xen use of
      /sys/hypervisor/type holding "xen".  We create three top-level files,
      "version" (the hypervisor's own version), "config_version" (the
      version of the configuration file), and "hvconfig" (the contents of
      the configuration file).  The remaining information from our old
      /proc/tile/board and /proc/tile/switch files becomes an attribute
      group appearing under /sys/hypervisor/board/.
      
      Finally, after some feedback from Arnd Bergmann for the previous
      version of this patch, the /proc/tile/hardwall file is split up into
      two conceptual parts.  First, a directory /proc/tile/hardwall/ which
      contains one file per active hardwall, each file named after the
      hardwall's ID and holding a cpulist that says which cpus are enclosed by
      the hardwall.  Second, a /proc/PID file "hardwall" that is either
      empty (for non-hardwall-using processes) or contains the hardwall ID.
      
      Finally, this change pushes the /proc/sys/tile/unaligned_fixup/
      directory, with knobs controlling the kernel code for handling the
      fixup of unaligned exceptions.
