2013-09-03tile: remove support for TILE64Chris Metcalf
This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and toolchain in the community do not support it.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 <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2013-08-13tile: fast-path unaligned memory access for tilegxChris 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 <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2012-05-25arch/tile: support building big-endian kernelChris 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 <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2012-04-20VM: add "vm_mmap()" helper functionLinus Torvalds
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.

2012-04-02arch/tile: return SIGBUS for addresses that are unaligned AND invalidChris Metcalf
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 <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

2011-11-03arch/tile: factor out <arch/opcode.h> headerChris Metcalf
The kernel code was using some <asm> headers that included a mix of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera <arch> 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: <arch/opcode.h>. This header is then exported to userspace along with the other <arch> 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 (<asm/tile-desc.h> with _32 and _64 variants), replaces the old <asm/opcode-tile*.h> and <asm/opcode_constants*.h> 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.

2011-05-19arch/tile: support signal "exception-trace" hookChris 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 <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2011-05-02arch/tile: support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUMEChris 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.

2011-03-01arch/tile: bug fix: exec'ed task thought it was still single-steppingChris 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. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-10-15arch/tile: enable single-step support for TILE-GxChris Metcalf
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.

2010-07-06arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.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.

2010-06-04arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.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/.
