This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded
by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and
toolchain in the community do not support it. It's unlikely that the
kernel works with TILE64 at this point as the configuration has not been
tested in years. The support is also awkward as it requires maintaining
a significant number of ifdefs. So, just remove it altogether.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

This change enables unaligned userspace memory access via a kernel
fast path on tilegx. The kernel tracks user PC/instruction pairs
per-thread using a direct-mapped cache in userspace. The cache
maps those PC/instruction pairs to JIT'ed instruction sequences that
load or store using byte-wide load store intructions and then
synthesize 2-, 4- or 8-byte load or store results. Once an
instruction has been seen to generate an unaligned access once,
subsequent hits on that instruction typically require overhead
of only around 50 cycles if cache and TLB is hot.We support the prctl() PR_GET_UNALIGN / PR_SET_UNALIGN sys call to
enable or disable unaligned fixups on a per-process basis.To do this we pull some of the tilepro unaligned support out of the
single_step.c file; tilepro uses instruction disassembly for both
single-step and unaligned access support. Since tilegx actually has
hardware singlestep support, though, it's cleaner to keep the tilegx
unaligned access code in a separate file. While we're at it,
properly rename the tilepro-specific types, etc., to have tilepro
suffixes instead of generic tile suffixes.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

The toolchain supports big-endian mode now, so add support for building
the kernel to run big-endian as well.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

This continues the theme started with vm_brk() and vm_munmap():
vm_mmap() does the same thing as do_mmap(), but additionally does the
required VM locking.This uninlines (and rewrites it to be clearer) do_mmap(), which sadly
duplicates it in mm/mmap.c and mm/nommu.c. But that way we don't have
to export our internal do_mmap_pgoff() function.Some day we hopefully don't have to export do_mmap() either, if all
modular users can become the simpler vm_mmap() instead. We're actually
very close to that already, with the notable exception of the (broken)
use in i810, and a couple of stragglers in binfmt_elf.Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Previously we were returning SIGSEGV in this case. It seems cleaner
to return SIGBUS since the hardware figures out alignment traps
before TLB violations, so SIGBUS is the "more correct" signal.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

The kernel code was using some headers that included a mix
of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera
headers) and structures, enums, and function declarations supporting
the disassembly function of the tile-desc.c sources.This change refactors that code so that a hardware-specific, but
OS- and application-agnostic header, is created: .
This header is then exported to userspace along with the other
headers and can be used to build userspace code; in particular,
it is used by glibc as part of implementing the backtrace() function.The new header, together with a header that specifically describes
the disassembly code ( with _32 and _64 variants),
replaces the old and
headers.As part of this change, we are also renaming the 32-bit constants
from TILE_xxx to TILEPRO_xxx to better reflect the fact that they
are specific to the TILEPro architecture, and not to TILE-Gx
and any successor "tile" architecture chips.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

This change adds support for /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace to tile.
Like x86 and sparc, by default it is set to "1", generating a one-line
printk whenever a user process crashes. By setting it to "2", we get
a much more complete userspace diagnostic at crash time, including
a user-space backtrace, register dump, and memory dump around the
address of the crash.Some vestiges of the Tilera-internal version of this support are
removed with this patch (the show_crashinfo variable and the
arch_coredump_signal function). We retain a "crashinfo" boot parameter
which allows you to set the boot-time value of exception-trace.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

This support is required for CONFIG_KEYS, NFSv4 kernel DNS, etc.
The change is slightly more complex than the minimal thing, since
I took advantage of having to go into the assembly code to just
move a bunch of stuff into C code: specifically, the schedule(),
do_async_page_fault(), do_signal(), and single_step_once() support,
in addition to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support.Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

To handle single-step, tile mmap's a page of memory in the process
space for each thread and uses it to construct a version of the
instruction that we want to single step. If the process exec's,
though, we lose that mapping, and the kernel needs to be aware that
it will need to recreate it if the exec'ed process than tries to
single-step as well.Also correct some int32_t to s32 for better kernel style.

This is not quite the complete support, since we're not yet shipping
intvec_64.S, but it is the support relevant to the set of files we are
currently shipping, and makes it easier to track changes between
our internal sources and our public GIT repository.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
