  • This change adds infrastructure (CONFIG_TILE_HVGLUE_TRACE) that
    provides C code wrappers for the calls the kernel makes to the Tilera
    hypervisor. This allows standard kernel infrastructure like FTRACE to
    be able to instrument hypervisor calls.

    To allow direct calls to the true API, we export their names with a
    leading underscore as well. This is important for the few contexts
    where we need to make hypervisor calls without touching the stack.

    As part of this change, we also switch from creating the symbols
    with linker magic to creating them with assembler magic. This lets
    us provide a symbol type and generally make them appear more as symbols
    and less as just random values in the Elf namespace.

    Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
    They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
    differing help text.

    This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
    boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
    to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of
    duplication and adds consistency across arches.

  • Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it
    to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This
    obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
    already used in generic code.

    It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
    keeping the most inclusive wording.

  • The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
    is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
    only small devices.

    This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
    references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
    option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
    can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
    considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

    Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
    expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
    are making should enable it.

  • 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/.
