  • The metag NUMA implementation follows the SH model, using different nodes for
    memories with different latencies. As such, we ensure that automated balancing
    between nodes is inhibited, by way of the new ARCH_WANT_VARIABLE_LOCALITY.

  • Commit e72837e3e7bae3f182c4ac63c9424e86f1158dd0 ("default
    SET_PERSONALITY() in linux/elf.h").

    The above commit moved the common definition of SET_PERSONALITY() in a
    bunch of the arch headers to linux/elf.h. Metag shares that common
    definition so remove it from arch/metag/include/asm/elf.h too.

    "This adds core architecture support for Imagination's Meta processor
    cores, followed by some later miscellaneous arch/metag cleanups and
    fixes which I kept separate to ease review:

    - Support for basic Meta 1 (ATP) and Meta 2 (HTP) core architecture
    - A few fixes all over, particularly for symbol prefixes
    - A few privilege protection fixes
    - Several cleanups (setup.c includes, split out a lot of

    For architectures using dma_map_ops, dma_get_sgtable() is provided in
    .

    Metag does not use dma_map_ops yet, hence it should implement it as an
    inline stub using dma_common_get_sgtable().

  • Make a copy of the device tree blob in non-init memory. It is required
    when using built-in device tree files that the platform code copies the
    blob to non-init memory prior to calling unflatten_device_tree(),
    otherwise the strings that the device tree refer to will get poisoned
    and potentially reused, breaking later reading of the device tree
    post-init (such as compatible matching in modules, debugfs, and the
    procfs interface).

  • The SMP version of arch_local_irq_enable() uses preempt_disable(), but
    doesn't include causing the following
    errors on SMP when pstore/ftrace is enabled (caught by buildbot smp
    allyesconfig):

    In file included from include/linux/irqflags.h:15,
    from fs/pstore/ftrace.c:16:
    arch/metag/include/asm/irqflags.h: In function 'arch_local_irq_enable':
    arch/metag/include/asm/irqflags.h:84: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_disable'
    arch/metag/include/asm/irqflags.h:86: error: implicit declaration of function 'preempt_enable_no_resched'

    However cannot be easily included from
    as it can cause circular include dependencies in the
    !SMP case, and potentially in the SMP case in the future. Therefore move
    the SMP implementation of arch_local_irq_enable() into traps.c and use
    an inline version of get_trigger_mask() which is also defined in traps.c
    for SMP.

    This adds an extra layer of function call / stack push when
    preempt_disable needs to call other functions, however in the
    non-preemptive SMP case it should be about as fast, as it was already
    calling the get_trigger_mask() function which is now used inline.

  • Add header files to implement Meta hardware thread locks (used by some
    other atomic operations), atomics, spinlocks, and bitops.

    There are 2 main types of atomic primitives for metag (in addition to
    IRQs off on UP):
    - LOCK instructions provide locking between hardware threads.
    - LNKGET/LNKSET instructions provide load-linked/store-conditional
    operations allowing for lighter weight atomics on Meta2

    LOCK instructions allow for hardware threads to acquire voluntary or
    exclusive hardware thread locks:
    - LOCK0 releases exclusive and voluntary lock from the running hardware
    thread.
    - LOCK1 acquires the voluntary hardware lock, blocking until it becomes
    available.
    - LOCK2 implies LOCK1, and additionally acquires the exclusive hardware
    lock, blocking all other hardware threads from executing.

  • The ptrace interface for metag provides access to some core register
    sets using the PTRACE_GETREGSET and PTRACE_SETREGSET operations. The
    details of the internal context structures is abstracted into user API
    structures to both ease use and allow flexibility to change the internal
    context layouts. Copyin and copyout functions for these register sets
    are exposed to allow signal handling code to use them to copy to and
    from the signal context.

    struct user_gp_regs (NT_PRSTATUS) provides access to the core general
    purpose register context.

    struct user_cb_regs (NT_METAG_CBUF) provides access to the TXCATCH*
    registers which contains information abuot a memory fault, unaligned
    access error or watchpoint. This can be modified to alter the way the
    fault is replayed on resume ("catch replay"), or to prevent the replay
    taking place.

    struct user_rp_state (NT_METAG_RPIPE) provides access to the state of
    the Meta read pipeline which can be used to hide memory latencies in
    hand optimised data loops.

    Extended DSP register state, DSP RAM, and hardware breakpoint registers
    aren't yet exposed through ptrace.
