Merge tag 'riscv-for-linus-4.15-arch-v9-premerge' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/palmer/linux
Pull RISC-V architecture support from Palmer Dabbelt:
"This contains the core RISC-V Linux port, which has been through nine
rounds of review on various mailing lists. The port is not complete:
there's some cleanup patches moving through the review process, a
whole bunch of drivers that need some work, and a lot of feature
additions that will be needed.
The patches contained in this tag have been through nine rounds of
review on the various mailing lists. I have some outstanding cleanup
patches, but since there's been so much review on these patches I
thought it would be best to submit them as-is and then submit explicit
cleanup patches so everyone can review them. This first patch set is
big enough that it's a bit of a pain to constantly rewrite, and it's
caused a few headaches with various contributors.
The port is definately a work in progress. While what's there builds
and boots with 4.14, it's a bit hard to actually see anything happen
because there are no device drivers yet. I maintain a staging branch
that contains all the device drivers and cleanup that actually works,
but those patches won't all be ready for a while. I'd like to get what
we currently have into your tree so everyone can start working from a
single base -- of particular importance is allowing the glibc
upstreaming process to proceed so we can sort out any possibly
lingering user-visible ABI problems we might have.
Copied below is the ChangeLog that contains the history of this patch
set:
(v9) As per suggestions on our v8 patch set, I've split the core
architecture code out from our drivers and would like to submit
this patch set to be included into linux-next, with the goal
being to be merged in during the next merge window. This patch
set is based on 4.14-rc2, but if it's better to have it based on
something else then I can change it around.
This patch set contains just the core arch code for RISC-V, so
while it builds an nominally boots, you can't print or take an
interrupt so it's not that useful. If you're looking to actually
boot a system it would probably be better to use the full patch
set listed below.
We've collected a handful of tags from reviewers, and the
remainder of the patch set only got minimal feedback last time.
Here's what changed:
- We now use the device tree to initialize the timer driver so
it's less tighly coupled with the arch port.
- I cleaned up the defconfigs -- there's actually now just one,
and it's empty. For now I think we're OK with what the kernel
sets as defaults, but I anticipate we'll begin to expand this
as people start to use the port more.
- The VDSO symbols version is sane.
- We WFI while spinning in the boot loop.
- A handful of comments have been added.
While there are still a handful of FIXMEs in this patch set,
we've started to get enough interest from various users and
contributors that maintaining an out of tree patch set is
starting to become a big burden. Hopefully the patches are good
enough to merge now, which will at least get everyone working in
a more reasonable manner as we clean up the remaining issues.
(v8) I know it may not be the ideal time to submit a patch set right
now, as it's the middle of the merge window, but things have
calmed down quite a bit in the last month so I thought it would
be good to get everyone on the same page. There's been a handful
of changes since the last patch set, but most of them are fairly
minor:
- We changed PAGE_OFFSET to allowing mapping more physical
memory on 64-bit systems. This is user configurable, as it
triggers a different code model that generates slightly less
efficient code.
- The device tree binding documentation is back, I'd managed to
lose it at some point.
- We now pass the atomic64 test suite
- The SBI timer driver has been refactored.
(v7) It's been a while since my last patch set, but the changes han
been fairly minimal:
- The PCI cleanup patches have been dropped, we'll do them as a
separate patch set later.
- We've the Kconfig entries from CONFIG_ISA_* to
CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_*, to make grep easier.
- There have been a handful of memory model related tweaks in
I/O land, particularly relating the PCI and the upcoming
platform specification. There are significant comments in the
relevant files. This is still a WIP, but I think we're close
to getting as good as we're going to get until we end up with
some more specifications.
(v6) As it's been only a day since the v5 patch set, the changes are
pretty minimal:
- The patch set is now based on linux-next/master, which I
believe is a better base now that we're getting closer to
upstream.
- EARLY_PRINTK is no longer an option. Since the SBI console is
reasonable, there's no penalty to enabling it (and thus no
benefit to disabling it).
- The mmap syscalls were refactored a bit.
(v5) Things have really started to calm down, so this is fairly
similar to the v4 patch set. The most interesting changes
include:
- We've moved back to a single patch set.
- SMP support has been fixed, I was accidentally running on a
non-SMP configuration. There were various mistakes all over
the tree as a result of this.
- The cmpxchg syscalls have been removed, as they were deemed a
bad idea. As a result, RISC-V Linux systems mandate the A
extension. The corresponding Kconfig entry to enable builds
on non-A systems has been removed.
- A few more atomic fixes: mostly fence changes, but those
resulted in a handful of additional macros that were no
longer necessary.
- riscv_early_sie has been removed.
(v4) There have only been a few changes since the v3 patch set:
- The cmpxchg64 syscall is no longer enabled on 32-bit systems.
It's not possible to provide this on SMP systems, and it's
not necessary as glibc knows not to call it.
- We provide a ELF_HWCAP so users can determine the ISA of the
machine the kernel is running on.
- The multi-line comments are in a better form.
- There were a handful of headers that could be replaced with
the asm-generic versions, and a few unnecessary definitions.
- We no longer use printk, but instead use pr_*.
- A few Kconfig and defconfig entries have been cleaned up.
(v3) A highlight of the changes since the v2 patch set includes:
- We've split out all our drivers into separate patch sets,
which I've already sent out to the relevant maintainers. I
haven't included those patches in this patch set, but some of
them are necessary to build our port.
- The patch set is now split up differently: rather than being
split per directory it is split per topic. Hopefully this
will make it easier to review the port on the mailing list.
The split is a bit rough, so you probably still want to look
at the patch set as a whole.
- atomic.h has been completely rewritten and is hopefully now
correct. I've attempted to sanitize the various other memory
model related code as well, and I think it should all be sane
now aside from a handful of FIXMEs commented in the code.
- We've changed the cmpexchg syscall to always exist and to not
be multiplexed. There is also a VDSO entry for compare and
exchange, which allows kernels with the A extension to
execute user code without the A extension reasonably fast.
- Our user-visible register state now contains enough space for
the Q extension for 128-bit floating point, as well as a few
words to allow extensibility to future ISA extensions like
the eventual V extension for vectors.
- A handful of driver cleanups, but these have been split into
separate patch sets now so I won't duplicate them here.
(v2) A highlight of the changes since the v1 patch set includes:
- We've split out our drivers into the right places, which
means now there's a lot more patches. I'll be submitting
these patches to various subsystem maintainers and including
them in any future RISC-V patch sets until they've been
merged.
- The SBI console driver has been completely rewritten to use
the HVC helpers and is now significantly smaller.
- We've begun to use weaker barriers as opposed to just the big
"fence". There's still some work to do here, specifically:
- We need fences in the relaxed MMIO functions.
- The non-relaxed MMIO functions are missing R/W bits on their fences.
- Many AMOs need the aq and rl bits set.
- We now have thread_info in task_struct. As a result, sscratch
now contains TP instead of SP. This was necessary because
thread_info is no longer on the stack.
- A few shared routines have been added that we use instead of
creating another arch copy"
