  • Pull Tile arch updates from Chris Metcalf:
    "These changes bring in a bunch of new functionality that has been
    maintained internally at Tilera over the last year, plus other stray
    bits of work that I've taken into the tile tree from other folks.

    The changes include some PCI root complex work, interrupt-driven
    console support, support for performing fast-path unaligned data
    fixups by kernel-based JIT code generation, CONFIG_PREEMPT support,
    vDSO support for gettimeofday(), a serial driver for the tilegx
    on-chip UART, KGDB support, more optimized string routines, support
    for ftrace and kprobes, improved ASLR, and many bug fixes.

    We also remove support for the old TILE64 chip, which is no longer
    buildable"

  • This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded
    by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and
    toolchain in the community do not support it. It's unlikely that the
    kernel works with TILE64 at this point as the configuration has not been
    tested in years. The support is also awkward as it requires maintaining
    a significant number of ifdefs. So, just remove it altogether.

  • This change adds support for CONFIG_PREEMPT (full kernel preemption).
    In addition to the core support, this change includes a number
    of places where we fix up uses of smp_processor_id() and per-cpu
    variables. I also eliminate the PAGE_HOME_HERE and PAGE_HOME_UNKNOWN
    values for page homing, as it turns out they weren't being used.

  • The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
    some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
    do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
    commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
    is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
    with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

    After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
    the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
    we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

    Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
    notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
    are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
    arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
    As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
    content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
    of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

    This removes all the arch/tile uses of the __cpuinit macros from
    all C files. Currently tile does not have any __CPUINIT used in
    assembly files.

  • 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/.
