arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page size

2012-05-25T16:48:24+00:00

This change introduces new flags for the hv_install_context()
API that passes a page table pointer to the hypervisor.  Clients
can explicitly request 4K, 16K, or 64K small pages when they
install a new context.  In practice, the page size is fixed at
kernel compile time and the same size is always requested every
time a new page table is installed.

The  header changes so that it provides more abstract
macros for managing "page" things like PFNs and page tables.  For
example there is now a HV_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL instead of the old
HV_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL.  The various PFN routines have been eliminated and
only PA- or PTFN-based ones remain (since PTFNs are always expressed
in fixed 2KB "page" size).  The page-table management macros are
renamed with a leading underscore and take page-size arguments with
the presumption that clients will use those macros in some single
place to provide the "real" macros they will use themselves.

I happened to notice the old hv_set_caching() API was totally broken
(it assumed 4KB pages) so I changed it so it would nominally work
correctly with other page sizes.

Tag modules with the page size so you can't load a module built with
a conflicting page size.  (And add a test for SMP while we're at it.)

arch/tile: support newer binutils assembler shift semantics

2011-03-17T18:32:06+00:00

This change supports building the kernel with newer binutils where
a shift of greater than the word size is no longer interpreted
silently as modulo the word size, but instead generates a warning.

arch/tile: catch up with section naming convention in 2.6.35

2011-03-01T21:18:52+00:00

The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned".  This commit
fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the
old convention.  One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped
in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute.

Sam Ravnborg  pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc.

arch/tile: parameterize system PLs to support KVM port

2010-10-15T19:38:09+00:00

While not a port to KVM (yet), this change modifies the kernel
to be able to build either at PL1 or at PL2 with a suitable
config switch.  Pushing up this change avoids handling branch
merge issues going forward with the KVM work.

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

2010-06-04T21:11:18+00:00

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/.
