<title>kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT</title>

<id>6a108a14fa356ef607be308b68337939e56ea94e</id>
<content type='text'>
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

<title>arch/tile: handle rt_sigreturn() more cleanly</title>
<updated>2010-12-17T21:59:29+00:00</updated>

<id>81711cee933599fa114abb0d258d8bbabef8adfb</id>
<content type='text'>
The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom
of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of
the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI
"return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting
the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs
for r0.

However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks,
since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly
handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat
address space.  Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional
random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register.

Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register"
hack in sigreturn.  We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly
code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code.  We extend that
code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions
after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0.
Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the
pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded.

<title>arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user space</title>

<id>bc4cf2bb271b2d557fc510426755da786fc985be</id>

Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the
new task as started by clone() in libc.  However, this is not
quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to
the new task before it had its TLS set up.  (Of course, this race
window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value
in the new task, in principle.  But in any case, we are now doing
this exactly the way all other architectures do it.)

This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will
be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more,
so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix.  It should
also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible.

This change fixes a bug that memchr() will read the first word
of the source even if the length is zero.  Ironically, the code
was originally written with a test to avoid exactly this problem,
but to make the code conform to Linux coding standards with all
declarations preceding all statements, the first load from memory
was moved up above that test as the initial value for a variable.

The change just moves all the variable declarations to the top
of the file, with no initializers, so that the test can also be
at the top of the file.

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.
