arch/tile: support signal "exception-trace" hook

2011-05-20T02:55:59Z

This change adds support for /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace to tile. Like x86 and sparc, by default it is set to "1", generating a one-line printk whenever a user process crashes. By setting it to "2", we get a much more complete userspace diagnostic at crash time, including a user-space backtrace, register dump, and memory dump around the address of the crash. Some vestiges of the Tilera-internal version of this support are removed with this patch (the show_crashinfo variable and the arch_coredump_signal function). We retain a "crashinfo" boot parameter which allows you to set the boot-time value of exception-trace. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME

2011-05-02T22:53:35Z

This support is required for CONFIG_KEYS, NFSv4 kernel DNS, etc. The change is slightly more complex than the minimal thing, since I took advantage of having to go into the assembly code to just move a bunch of stuff into C code: specifically, the schedule(), do_async_page_fault(), do_signal(), and single_step_once() support, in addition to the TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME support.

arch/tile: fix some comments and whitespace

2011-03-10T18:14:03Z

This is a grab bag of changes with no actual change to generated code. This includes whitespace and comment typos, plus a couple of stale comments being removed. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

drivers/net/tile/: on-chip network drivers for the tile architecture

2010-11-24T18:11:18Z

This change adds the first network driver for the tile architecture, supporting the on-chip XGBE and GBE shims. The infrastructure is present for the TILE-Gx networking drivers (another three source files in the new directory) but for now the the actual tilegx sources are waiting on releasing hardware to initial customers. Note that arch/tile/include/hv/* are "upstream" headers from the Tilera hypervisor and will probably benefit less from LKML review. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: parameterize system PLs to support KVM port

2010-10-15T19:38:09Z

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. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: Save and restore extra user state for tilegx

2010-09-15T15:16:10Z

During context switch, save and restore a couple of additional bits of tilegx user state that can be persistently modified by userspace. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

arch/tile: catch up on various minor cleanups.

2010-07-06T17:42:15Z

None of these changes fix any actual bugs, but are just various cleanups that fell out along the way. In particular, some unused #defines and includes are removed, PREFETCH_STRIDE is added (the default is right for our shipping chips, but wrong for our next generation), our tile-specific prefetching code is removed so the (identical) generic prefetching code can be used instead, a comment is fixed to be proper GPL and not just a "paste GPL here" token, a "//" comment is converted to "/* */", etc. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann

arch/tile: Add driver to enable access to the user dynamic network.

2010-07-06T17:34:15Z

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: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.

2010-06-04T21:11:18Z

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/.
