Fix a long-standing bug in the stack backtracer where we would print
garbage to the console instead of kernel function names, if the kernel
wasn't built with symbol support (e.g. mboot).Make sure to tag every line of userspace backtrace output if we actually
have the mmap_sem, since that way if there's no tag, we know that it's
because we couldn't trylock the semaphore.Stop doing a TLB flush and examining page tables during backtrace.
Instead, just trust that __copy_from_user_inatomic() will properly fault
and return a failure, which it should do in all cases.Fix a latent bug where the backtracer would directly examine a signal
context in user space, rather than copying it safely to kernel memory
first. This meant that a race with another thread could potentially
have caused a kernel panic.Guard against unaligned sp when trying to restart backtrace at an
interrupt or signal handler point in the kernel backtracer.Report kernel symbolic information for the call instruction rather
than for the following instruction. We still report the actual numeric
address corresponding to the instruction after the call, for the sake
of consistency with the normal expectations for stack backtracers.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

Commit bd119c69239322caafdb64517a806037d0d0c70a
"Disintegrate asm/system.h for Tile"
created the asm/switch_to.h file, but did not add an include
of it to all its users.Also, commit b4816afa3986704d1404fc48e931da5135820472
"Move the asm-generic/system.h xchg() implementation to asm-generic/cmpxchg.h"
introduced the concept of asm/cmpxchg.h but the tile arch
never got one. Fork the cmpxchg content out of the asm/atomic.h
file to create one.Acked-by: David Howells

This change is the result of some work to make the backtrace code more
shareable between kernel, libc, and gdb.For the kernel, some good effects are to eliminate the hacky
"VirtualAddress" typedef in favor of "unsigned long", to eliminate a
bunch of spurious kernel doc comments, to remove the dead "bt_read_memory"
function, and to use "__tilegx__" in #ifdefs instead of "TILE_CHIP".Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

The first is that we were using an incorrect hand-rolled variant
of __kernel_text_address() which didn't handle module PCs. We now
just use the standard API.The second was that we weren't accounting for the three-level
page table when we were trying to pre-verify the addresses on
the 64-bit TILE-Gx processor; we now do that correctly.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

The backtracer will normally cut itself off after 100 frames anyway,
but it's messy. With this change we notice that the frame being
reported is the same as the last one, and cut off the dump with a
message similar to what gdb displays in the same circumstance.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

Rather than just using pt_regs, it now contains the actual saved
state explicitly, similar to pt_regs. By doing it this way, we
provide a cleaner API for userspace (or equivalently, we avoid the
need for libc to provide its own definition of sigcontext).While we're at it, move PT_FLAGS_xxx to where they are not visible
from userspace. And always pass siginfo and mcontext to signal
handlers, even if they claim they don't need it, since sometimes
they actually try to use it anyway in practice.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

This functionality was stubbed out until recently. Now we support our
normal backtracing API on TILE-Gx as well as on TILE64/TILEPro.
This change includes a tweak to the instruction encoding caused by
adding addxli for compat mode.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

This commit is primarily changes caused by reviewing "sparse"
and "checkpatch" output on our sources, so is somewhat noisy, since
things like "printk() -> pr_err()" (or whatever) throughout the
codebase tend to get tedious to read. Rather than trying to tease
apart precisely which things changed due to which type of code
review, this commit includes various cleanups in the code:- sparse: Add declarations in headers for globals.
- sparse: Fix __user annotations.
- sparse: Using gfp_t consistently instead of int.
- sparse: removing functions not actually used.
- checkpatch: Clean up printk() warnings by using pr_info(), etc.;
also avoid partial-line printks except in bootup code.
- checkpatch: Use exposed structs rather than typedefs.
- checkpatch: Change some C99 comments to C89 comments.In addition, a couple of minor other changes are rolled in
to this commit:- Add support for a "raise" instruction to cause SIGFPE, etc., to be raised.
- Remove some compat code that is unnecessary when we fully eliminate
some of the deprecated syscalls from the generic syscall ABI.
- Update the tile_defconfig to reflect current config contents.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

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/.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf
