The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current
context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the
resulting interrupt do the wakeup.For the various event classes:
- hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from
the PMI-tail (ARM etc.)
- tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context.
- software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot
perform wakeups, and hence need 0.As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of
not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a
jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented).The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a
bunch of conditionals in fast paths.Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra

This provides a sledgehammer approach for clearing the TLBs, only to be
used in cases where we know we will never want to use the mappings again
and have no interest in preserving state. This also destroys wired
entries.The primary use for this is when we are either entering or exiting the
kernel completely, in the latter case as a precursor for CPU reset by
MMU.Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

As explained in commit 1c0fe6e3bd, we want to call the architecture independent
oom killer when getting an unexplained OOM from handle_mm_fault, rather than
simply killing current.Cc: linux-sh@vger.kernel.org

We need some more page flags to hook up _PAGE_WIRED (and eventually
other things). So use the unused PTE bits above the PPN field as no
implementations use these for anything currently.Now that we have _PAGE_WIRED let's provide the SH-5 functions for wiring
up TLB entries.Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILESfor N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
doneFILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian

This consolidates all of the NEFF-based sign extension for SH-5.
In the future the other SH code will need to make use of this as well,
so make it generic in preparation for more 32/64 consolidation.Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

This splits out a separate __update_cache()/__update_tlb() for
update_mmu_cache() to wrap in to. This lets us share the common
__update_cache() bits while keeping special __update_tlb() handling
broken out.Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

This allows the callers to now pass down the full set of FAULT_FLAG_xyz
flags to handle_mm_fault(). All callers have been (mechanically)
converted to the new calling convention, there's almost certainly room
for architectures to clean up their code and then add FAULT_FLAG_RETRY
when that support is added.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
