tile/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write

2017-02-01T07:30:52+00:00

commit fd7c99142d77dc4a851879a66715abf12a3193fb upstream.

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to
PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old
registers are preserved.

tile: avoid using clocksource_cyc2ns with absolute cycle count

2016-12-02T08:09:01+00:00

commit e658a6f14d7c0243205f035979d0ecf6c12a036f upstream.

For large values of "mult" and long uptimes, the intermediate
result of "cycles * mult" can overflow 64 bits.  For example,
the tile platform calls clocksource_cyc2ns with a 1.2 GHz clock;
we have mult = 853, and after 208.5 days, we overflow 64 bits.

Since clocksource_cyc2ns() is intended to be used for relative
cycle counts, not absolute cycle counts, performance is more
importance than accepting a wider range of cycle values.  So,
just use mult_frac() directly in tile's sched_clock().

Commit 4cecf6d401a0 ("sched, x86: Avoid unnecessary overflow
in sched_clock") by Salman Qazi results in essentially the same
generated code for x86 as this change does for tile.  In fact,
a follow-on change by Salman introduced mult_frac() and switched
to using it, so the C code was largely identical at that point too.

Peter Zijlstra then added mul_u64_u32_shr() and switched x86
to use it.  This is, in principle, better; by optimizing the
64x64->64 multiplies to be 32x32->64 multiplies we can potentially
save some time.  However, the compiler piplines the 64x64->64
multiplies pretty well, and the conditional branch in the generic
mul_u64_u32_shr() causes some bubbles in execution, with the
result that it's pretty much a wash.  If tilegx provided its own
implementation of mul_u64_u32_shr() without the conditional branch,
we could potentially save 3 cycles, but that seems like small gain
for a fair amount of additional build scaffolding; no other platform
currently provides a mul_u64_u32_shr() override, and tile doesn't
currently have an  header to put the override in.

Additionally, gcc currently has an optimization bug that prevents
it from recognizing the opportunity to use a 32x32->64 multiply,
and so the result would be no better than the existing mult_frac()
until such time as the compiler is fixed.

For now, just using mult_frac() seems like the right answer.

tile: Define AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH for ARCH_DLINFO

2016-10-07T13:23:44+00:00

commit cdf8b4633075f2171d440d2e37c9c2609019a81a upstream.

AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be defined with the maximum number of
NEW_AUX_ENT entries that ARCH_DLINFO can contain, but it wasn't defined
for tile at all even though ARCH_DLINFO will contain one NEW_AUX_ENT for
the VDSO address.

This shouldn't be a problem as AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE includes space for
AT_BASE_PLATFORM which tile doesn't use, but lets define it now and add
the comment above ARCH_DLINFO as found in several other architectures to
remind future modifiers of ARCH_DLINFO to keep AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH up to
date.

tile: provide CONFIG_PAGE_SIZE_64KB etc for tilepro

2016-01-05T13:16:09+00:00

This allows the build system to know that it can't attempt to
configure the Lustre virtual block device, for example, when tilepro
is using 64KB pages (as it does by default).  The tilegx build
already provided those symbols.

Previously we required that the tilepro hypervisor be rebuilt with
a different hardcoded page size in its headers, and then Linux be
rebuilt using the updated hypervisor header.  Now we allow each of
the hypervisor and Linux to be built independently.  We still check
at boot time to ensure that the page size provided by the hypervisor
matches what Linux expects.

mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage

2015-11-06T03:34:48+00:00

The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should
be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when
the area is created.  This patch adds the ability to set this state via
the new mlock system calls.

We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.  When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags
will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.  When used with both
MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be
marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.

Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE.  This behavior is
maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT.  If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and
new VMAs will be unlocked.  This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT
in either mlockall() invocation.

munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags.  munlockall()
unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags
field.

word-at-a-time.h: fix some Kbuild files

2015-10-06T18:52:48+00:00

arch/tile added word-at-a-time.h after the patch that added generic-y
entries; the generic-y entry is now stale.

arch/h8300 is newer than the generic-y patch for word-at-a-time.h,
and needs a generic-y entry.

arch/powerpc seems to have gotten a generic-y entry by mistake in
the first patch; this change removes it.
