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.

This adds a grab bag of symbols that have been missing for
various modules.

arch/tile: avoid a simulator warning during bootup

2011-03-01T21:20:29+00:00

As the added comment says, we can sometimes see a coherence warning
from our simulator if the "swapper_pgprot" variable on the boot cpu
has not been evicted from cache by the time the other cpus come up.
Force it to be evicted so we never see the 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: avoid __must_check warning on one strict_strtol check

2010-11-01T19:30:53+00:00

For the "initfree" boot argument it's not that big a deal, but
to avoid warnings in the code, we check for a valid value before
allowing the specified argument to override the kernel default.

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: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.

2010-07-06T17:41:51+00:00

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.

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/.
