arch/tile: remove dead code from intvec_32.S -
This "bpt_code" instruction was killed off in our development line a while
ago (the actual definition of bpt_code that is used is in kernel/traps.c)
but I didn't push it for 2.6.36 because it seemed harmless and I didn't
want to try to push more than absolutely necessary.However, we recently fixed a bug in our gcc that had been causing
"-gdwarf2" not to be passed to the assembler, and passing this flag causes
an erroneous assembler failure in the presence of code in a data section,
sometimes. While we'd like to track down the bug in the assembler,
we'd also like to make sure 2.6.36 builds with the current toolchain,
so I'm removing this dead code as well.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

During context switch, save and restore a couple of additional bits of
tilegx user state that can be persistently modified by userspace.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

The sys_execve() implementation was properly const-ified but not

compat_alloc_user_space() expects the caller to independently call
access_ok() to verify the returned area. A missing call could
introduce problems on some architectures.This patch incorporates the access_ok() check into
compat_alloc_user_space() and also adds a sanity check on the length.
The existing compat_alloc_user_space() implementations are renamed
arch_compat_alloc_user_space() and are used as part of the
implementation of the new global function.This patch assumes NULL will cause __get_user()/__put_user() to either
fail or access userspace on all architectures. This should be
followed by checking the return value of compat_access_user_space()
for NULL in the callers, at which time the access_ok() in the callers
can also be removed.Reported-by: Ben Hawkes

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

that are typically the ones we get wrong (vmlinux, all, and modules).
The change handles the case of an empty "make" goal like "make all".Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

Until now, the tile architecture ABI for syscall return has just been
that r0 holds the return value, and an error is only signalled like it is
for kernel code, with a negative small number.However, this means that in multiple places in userspace we end up writing
the same three-cycle idiom that tests for a small negative number for
error. It seems cleaner to instead move that code into the kernel, and
set r1 to hold zero on success or errno on failure; previously, r1 was
just zeroed on return from the kernel (to avoid leaking kernel state).
This way a single conditional branch after the syscall is sufficient
to test for the failure case. The number of cycles taken is the same,
but the error-checking code is in just one place, so total code size is
smaller, and random userspace syscall code is easier to understand.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

- Remove unused tns_atomic_xxx() family of methods from
- Optimize get_order() using Tile's "clz" instruction
- Fix a bad hypervisor upcall name (not currently used in Linux anyway)
- Use __copy_in_user_inatomic() name for consistency, and export it

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
-
First, the siginfo preamble wasn't quite right; we need to indicate
that we are padding up to 4 ints of preamble for 64-bit code, and
then for compat mode we need to pad differently, using only 3 ints.Second, the C ABI requires a save area of two registers, not two
pointers, since in compat mode we have 64-bit registers all of which
we need to save, even though we only have 32-bit VAs.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

We were using the same 5-sec minsec for the clocksource and sched_clock
that we were using for the clock_event_device. For the clock_event_device
that's exactly right since it has a short maximum countdown time.
But for sched_clock we want to avoid wraparound when converting from
ticks to nsec over a much longer window, so we force a shift of 10.
And for clocksource it seems dodgy to use a 5-sec minsec as well, so we
copy some other platforms and force a shift of 22.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

Architectures implement dma_is_consistent() in different ways (some
misinterpret the definition of API in DMA-API.txt). So it hasn't been so
useful for drivers. We have only one user of the API in tree. Unlikely
out-of-tree drivers use the API.Even if we fix dma_is_consistent() in some architectures, it doesn't look
useful at all. It was invented long ago for some old systems that can't
allocate coherent memory at all. It's better to export only APIs that are
definitely necessary for drivers.Let's remove this API.

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment. Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN). So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment. So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1. This patch also fixes this
issue.Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori

None of these changes fix any actual bugs, but are just various cleanups
that fell out along the way. In particular, some unused #defines and
includes are removed, PREFETCH_STRIDE is added (the default is right for
our shipping chips, but wrong for our next generation), our tile-specific
prefetching code is removed so the (identical) generic prefetching code
can be used instead, a comment is fixed to be proper GPL and not just a
"paste GPL here" token, a "//" comment is converted to "/* */", etc.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 code is used in other places in our system than in Linux, so
to share it we now implement it as an inline function in our low-level
headers, and instantiate it in one file in Linux's arch/tile/lib.
The file is now cacheflush.c and is C code rather than the strangely-named
and assembler-implemented __invalidate_icache.S.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

The C file (tile-desc_{32,64}.c) was about 300KB before this change,
and is now shrunk down to 100K. The original file included support

kernel; the kernel version only needs to include enough support to
enable the single-stepper and backtracer.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

This network (the "UDN") connects all the cpus on the chip in a
wormhole-routed dynamic network. Subrectangles of the chip can
be allocated by a "create" ioctl on /dev/hardwall, and then to access the
UDN in that rectangle, tasks must perform an "activate" ioctl on that
same file object after affinitizing themselves to a single cpu in
the region. Sending a wormhole-routed message that tries to leave
that subrectangle causes all activated tasks to receive a SIGILL
(just as they would if they tried to access the UDN without first
activating themselves to a hardwall rectangle).The original submission of this code to LKML had the driver
instantiated under /proc/tile/hardwall. Now we just use a character
device for this, conventionally /dev/hardwall. Some futures planning
for the TILE-Gx chip suggests that we may want to have other types of
devices that share the general model of "bind a task to a cpu, then
'activate' a file descriptor on a pseudo-device that gives access to
some hardware resource". As such, we are using a device rather
than, for example, a syscall, to set up and activate this code.As part of this change, the compat_ptr() declaration was fixed and used
to pass the compat_ioctl argument to the normal ioctl. So far we limit
compat code to 2GB, so the difference between zero-extend and sign-extend
(the latter being correct, eventually) had been overlooked.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf
