* Make do_execve() take a const filename pointerDavid Howells2010-08-181-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

* arch/tile: extend syscall ABI to set r1 on return as well.Chris Metcalf2010-08-131-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, the tile architecture ABI for syscall return has just been that r0 holds the return value, and an error is only signalled like it is for kernel code, with a negative small number. However, this means that in multiple places in userspace we end up writing the same three-cycle idiom that tests for a small negative number for error. It seems cleaner to instead move that code into the kernel, and set r1 to hold zero on success or errno on failure; previously, r1 was just zeroed on return from the kernel (to avoid leaking kernel state). This way a single conditional branch after the syscall is sufficient to test for the failure case. The number of cycles taken is the same, but the error-checking code is in just one place, so total code size is smaller, and random userspace syscall code is easier to understand.

* arch/tile: support backtracing on TILE-GxChris Metcalf2010-08-133-47/+102
| | | | | | | | | This functionality was stubbed out until recently. Now we support our normal backtracing API on TILE-Gx as well as on TILE64/TILEPro. This change includes a tweak to the instruction encoding caused by adding addxli for compat mode. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* arch/tile: Fix a couple of issues with the COMPAT code for TILE-Gx.Chris Metcalf2010-08-131-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | First, the siginfo preamble wasn't quite right; we need to indicate that we are padding up to 4 ints of preamble for 64-bit code, and then for compat mode we need to pad differently, using only 3 ints. Second, the C ABI requires a save area of two registers, not two pointers, since in compat mode we have 64-bit registers all of which we need to save, even though we only have 32-bit VAs.

* arch/tile: Use separate, better minsec values for clocksource and sched_clock.Chris Metcalf2010-08-131-14/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | We were using the same 5-sec minsec for the clocksource and sched_clock that we were using for the clock_event_device. For the clock_event_device that's exactly right since it has a short maximum countdown time. But for sched_clock we want to avoid wraparound when converting from ticks to nsec over a much longer window, so we force a shift of 10. And for clocksource it seems dodgy to use a 5-sec minsec as well, so we copy some other platforms and force a shift of 22. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

* arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.Chris Metcalf2010-07-0620-349/+420
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Shrink the tile-opcode files considerably.Chris Metcalf2010-07-061-12343/+1015Star
| | | | | | | | | | | The C file (tile-desc_{32,64}.c) was about 300KB before this change, and is now shrunk down to 100K. The original file included support for BFD in the binutils toolchain, which is not necessary in the kernel; the kernel version only needs to include enough support to enable the single-stepper and backtracer.

* arch/tile: Add driver to enable access to the user dynamic network.Chris Metcalf2010-07-063-2/+799
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This network (the "UDN") connects all the cpus on the chip in a wormhole-routed dynamic network. Subrectangles of the chip can be allocated by a "create" ioctl on /dev/hardwall, and then to access the UDN in that rectangle, tasks must perform an "activate" ioctl on that same file object after affinitizing themselves to a single cpu in the region. Sending a wormhole-routed message that tries to leave that subrectangle causes all activated tasks to receive a SIGILL (just as they would if they tried to access the UDN without first activating themselves to a hardwall rectangle). The original submission of this code to LKML had the driver instantiated under /proc/tile/hardwall. Now we just use a character device for this, conventionally /dev/hardwall. Some futures planning for the TILE-Gx chip suggests that we may want to have other types of devices that share the general model of "bind a task to a cpu, then 'activate' a file descriptor on a pseudo-device that gives access to some hardware resource". As such, we are using a device rather than, for example, a syscall, to set up and activate this code. As part of this change, the compat_ptr() declaration was fixed and used to pass the compat_ioctl argument to the normal ioctl. So far we limit compat code to 2GB, so the difference between zero-extend and sign-extend (the latter being correct, eventually) had been overlooked.

* arch/tile: Enable more sophisticated IRQ model for 32-bit chips.Chris Metcalf2010-07-063-91/+254
| | | | | | | | | | | | This model is based on the on-chip interrupt model used by the TILE-Gx next-generation hardware, and interacts much more cleanly with the Linux generic IRQ layer. The change includes modifications to the Tilera hypervisor, which are reflected in the hypervisor headers in arch/tile/include/arch/.

| | | | | | | | | | | It turns out there is some variance on the calling conventions for these syscalls, and <asm-generic/syscalls.h> is already the mechanism used to handle this.

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/.
