tile: expect new initramfs name from hypervisor file system

2013-04-05T17:04:14+00:00

commit ff7f3efb9abf986f4ecd8793a9593f7ca4d6431a upstream.

The current Tilera boot infrastructure now provides the initramfs
to Linux as a Tilera-hypervisor file named "initramfs", rather than
"initramfs.cpio.gz", as before.  (This makes it reasonable to use
other compression techniques than gzip on the file without having to
worry about the name causing confusion.)  Adapt to use the new name,
but also fall back to checking for the old name.

Cc'ing to stable so that older kernels will remain compatible with
newer Tilera boot infrastructure.

Merge branch 'stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

2012-04-07T00:56:20+00:00

Pull arch/tile bug fixes from Chris Metcalf:
 "This includes Paul Gortmaker's change to fix the 
  disintegration issues on tile, a fix to unbreak the tilepro ethernet
  driver, and a backlog of bugfix-only changes from internal Tilera
  development over the last few months.

  They have all been to LKML and on linux-next for the last few days.
  The EDAC change to MAINTAINERS is an oddity but discussion on the
  linux-edac list suggested I ask you to pull that change through my
  tree since they don't have a tree to pull edac changes from at the
  moment."

arch/tile: use proper memparse() for "maxmem" options

2012-04-02T16:13:25+00:00

This is more standard and avoids having to remember what units
the options actually take.

arch/tile: fix a couple of comments that needed updating

Not associated with any code changes, so I'm just lumping these

remove references to cpu_*_map in arch/

2012-03-29T05:08:30+00:00

This has been obsolescent for a while; time for the final push.

In adjacent context, replaced old cpus_* with cpumask_*.

treewide: Convert uses of struct resource to resource_size(ptr)

2011-06-10T12:55:36+00:00

Several fixes as well where the +1 was missing.

Done via coccinelle scripts like:

@@
struct resource *ptr;
@@

- ptr->end - ptr->start + 1
+ resource_size(ptr)

and some grep and typing.

Mostly uncompiled, no cross-compilers.

arch/tile: support 4KB page size as well as 64KB

2011-03-10T18:17:53+00:00

The Tilera architecture traditionally supports 64KB page sizes
to improve TLB utilization and improve performance when the
hardware is being used primarily to run a single application.

For more generic server scenarios, it can be beneficial to run
with 4KB page sizes, so this commit allows that to be specified
(by modifying the arch/tile/include/hv/pagesize.h header).

As part of this change, we also re-worked the PTE management
slightly so that PTE writes all go through a __set_pte() function
where we can do some additional validation.  The set_pte_order()
function was eliminated since the "order" argument wasn't being used.

One bug uncovered was in the PCI DMA code, which wasn't properly
flushing the specified range.  This was benign with 64KB pages,
but with 4KB pages we were getting some larger flushes wrong.

The per-cpu memory reservation code also needed updating to
conform with the newer percpu stuff; before it always chose 64KB,
and that was always correct, but with 4KB granularity we now have
to pay closer attention and reserve the amount of memory that will
be requested when the percpu code starts allocating.

arch/tile: make glibc's sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) work correctly

2010-11-24T18:42:15+00:00

glibc assumes that it can count /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu* to get
the number of configured cpus.  For this to be valid on tile, we need
to generate a "cpu" entry for all cpus, including the ones that are
not currently allocated for Linux's use.
