  • It makes no sense to export this trivial function. Make it a static inline
    instead.

    This patch also drops virq_to_hw from arch/c6x since it is unused by that

  • Merge batch of fixes from Andrew Morton:
    "The simple_open() cleanup was held back while I wanted for laggards to
    merge things.

    I still need to send a few checkpoint/restore patches. I've been
    wobbly about merging them because I'm wobbly about the overall
    prospects for success of the project. But after speaking with Pavel
    at the LSF conference, it sounds like they're further toward
    completion than I feared - apparently davem is at the "has stopped
    complaining" stage regarding the net changes. So I need to go back
    and re-review those patchs and their (lengthy) discussion."

  • As described in e6fa16ab9c1e ("signal: sigprocmask() should do
    retarget_shared_pending()") the modification of current->blocked is
    incorrect as we need to check whether the signal we're about to block is
    pending in the shared queue.

    Also, use the new helper function introduced in commit 5e6292c0f28f
    ("signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked")
    which centralises the code for updating current->blocked after
    successfully delivering a signal and reduces the amount of duplicate
    code across architectures. In the past some architectures got this code
    wrong, so using this helper function should stop that from happening
    again.

    Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
    "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
    separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
    dependencies.

    I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
    and made sure that they don't break.

    The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
    dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
    optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

    This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
    asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

    The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
    low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
    memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
    aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).

    These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

    Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

    Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

    Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
    could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

    Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
    frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

    Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

    Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

    Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

    Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
    around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
    weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

  • Pull irq_domain support for all architectures from Grant Likely:
    "Generialize powerpc's irq_host as irq_domain

    This branch takes the PowerPC irq_host infrastructure (reverse mapping
    from Linux IRQ numbers to hardware irq numbering), generalizes it,
    renames it to irq_domain, and makes it available to all architectures.

    Originally the plan has been to create an all-new irq_domain
    implementation which addresses some of the powerpc shortcomings such
    as not handling 1:1 mappings well, but doing that proved to be far
    more difficult and invasive than generalizing the working code and
    refactoring it in-place. So, this branch rips out the 'new'
    irq_domain and replaces it with the modified powerpc version (in a
    fully bisectable way of course). It converts all users over to the
    new API and makes irq_domain selectable on any architecture.

    No architecture is forced to enable irq_domain, but the infrastructure
    is required for doing OpenFirmware style irq translations. It will
    even work on SPARC even though SPARC has it's own mechanism for
    translating irqs at boot time. MIPS, microblaze, embedded x86 and c6x
    are converted too.

    The resulting irq_domain code is probably still too verbose and can be
    optimized more, but that can be done incrementally and is a task for
    follow-on patches."

  • The ENDPROC() on sys_fadvise64_c6x() in arch/c6x/kernel/entry.S is
    outside of the conditional block with the matching ENTRY() macro. This
    leads a newer (v2.22 vs. v2.20) assembler to complain:

    /tmp/ccGZBaPT.s: Assembler messages:
    /tmp/ccGZBaPT.s: Error: .size expression for sys_fadvise64_c6x does not evaluate to a constant

    The conditional block became dead code when c6x switched to generic
    unistd.h and should be removed along with the offending ENDPROC().

  • There was a latent typo in the C6X KSTK_EIP and KSTK_ESP macros which
    caused a problem with a new patch which used them. The broken definitions
    were of the form:

    #define KSTK_FOO(tsk) (task_pt_regs(task)->foo)

    Note the use of task vs tsk. This actually worked before because the
    only place in the kernel which used these macros passed in a local
    pointer named task.

  • This hooks dtc into Kbuild's dependency system.

    Thus, for example, "make dtbs" will rebuild tegra-harmony.dtb if only
    tegra20.dtsi has changed yet tegra-harmony.dts has not. The previous
    lack of this feature recently caused me to have very confusing "git
    bisect" results.

    For ARM, it's obvious what to add to $(targets). I'm not familiar enough
    with other architectures to know what to add there. Powerpc appears to
    already add various .dtb files into $(targets), but the other archs may
    need something added to $(targets) to work.

    There is a problem in the timer64 driver initialization where the code
    accesses a timer register to get the divisor used to calculate timer clock

    location of specific registers as well as their use varies considerably from
    implementation to implementation. Rather than having to rely on additional

    The C6X architecture currently lacks an MMU so memory management is relatively
    simple. There is no bus snooping between L2 and main memory but coherent DMA
    memory is supported by making regions of main memory uncached. If such a region
    is desired, it can be specified on the commandline with a "memdma=" argument.

  • This is the basic devicetree support for C6X. Currently, four boards are
    supported. Each one uses a different SoC part. Two of the four supported
    SoCs are multicore. One with 3 cores and the other with 6 cores. There is
    no coherency between the core-level caches, so SMP is not an option. It is
    possible to run separate kernel instances on the various cores. There is
    currently no C6X bootloader support for device trees so we build in the DTB
    for now.

    There are some interesting twists to the hardware which are of note for device
    tree support. Each core has its own interrupt controller which is controlled
    by special purpose core registers. This core controller provides 12 general
    purpose prioritized interrupt sources. Each core is contained within a
    hardware "module" which provides L1 and L2 caches, power control, and another
    interrupt controller which cascades into the core interrupt controller. These
    core module functions are controlled by memory mapped registers. The addresses
    for these registers are the same for each core. That is, when coreN accesses
    a module-level MMIO register at a given address, it accesses the register for
    coreN even though other cores would use the same address to access the register
    in the module containing those cores. Other hardware modules (timers, enet, etc)
    which are memory mapped can be accessed by all cores.

    The timers need some further explanation for multicore SoCs. Even though all
    timer control registers are visible to all cores, interrupt routing or other
    considerations may make a given timer more suitable for use by a core than
    some other timer. Because of this and the desire to have the same image run
    on more than one core, the timer nodes have a "ti,core-mask" property which
    is used by the driver to scan for a suitable timer to use.

    vector table entries contain a small amount of code (maximum of 8 opcodes)
    which simply branches to the actual event handling code.

    The head.S code simply clears BSS, setups up a few control registers, and calls
    machine_init followed by start_kernel. The machine_init code in setup.c does
    the early flat tree parsing (memory, commandline, etc). At setup_arch time, the
    code does the usual memory setup and minimally scans the devicetree for any
    needed information.
