arch/tile: remove bogus performance optimization

2012-04-02T16:13:59+00:00

We were re-homing the initial task's kernel stack on the boot cpu,
but in fact it's better to let it stay globally homed, since that
task isn't bound to the boot cpu anyway.  This is more of a general
cleanup than an actual performance optimization, but it removes
code, which is a good thing. :-)

arch/tile: export the page_home() function.

2012-04-02T16:13:42+00:00

This avois a bug in modules trying to use the function.

arch/tile: fix up locking in pgtable.c slightly

2012-04-02T16:13:22+00:00

We should be holding the init_mm.page_table_lock in shatter_huge_page()
since we are modifying the kernel page tables.  Then, only if we are
walking the other root page tables to update them, do we want to take
the pgd_lock.

Add a comment about taking the pgd_lock that we always do it with
interrupts disabled and therefore are not at risk from the tlbflush
IPI deadlock as is seen on x86.

arch/tile: fix bug in loading kernels larger than 16 MB

2012-04-02T16:13:12+00:00

Previously we only handled kernels up to a single huge page in size.
Now we create additional PTEs appropriately.

arch/tile: don't enable irqs unconditionally in page fault handler

2012-04-02T16:13:09+00:00

If we took a page fault while we had interrupts disabled, we
shouldn't enable them in the page fault handler.

arch/tile: don't set the homecache of a PTE unless appropriate

2012-04-02T16:13:05+00:00

We make sure not to try to set the home for an MMIO PTE (on tilegx)
or a PTE that isn't referencing memory managed by Linux.

arch/tile: don't wait for migrating PTEs in an NMI handler

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

Doing so raises the possibility of self-deadlock if we are waiting
for a backtrace for an oprofile or perf interrupt while we are
in the middle of migrating our own stack page.

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

2012-04-02T16:12:55+00:00

Not associated with any code changes, so I'm just lumping these
comment changes into a commit by themselves.

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..
