arch/tile: various header improvements for building drivers

2011-05-04T18:40:54Z

This change adds a number of missing headers in asm (fb.h, parport.h, serial.h, and vga.h) using the minimal generic versions. It also adds a number of missing interfaces that showed up as build failures when trying to build various drivers not normally included in the "tile" distribution: ioremap_wc(), memset_io(), io{read,write}{16,32}be(), virt_to_bus(), bus_to_virt(), irq_canonicalize(), __pte(), __pgd(), and __pmd(). I also added a cast in virt_to_page() since not all callers pass a pointer. I fixed to properly include a __KERNEL__ guard for the __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 symbol, and to use __builtin_bswap32() even for our 64-bit architecture, since the same code is produced. I added an export for get_cycles(), since it's used in some modules. And I made properly include the __KERNEL__ guard, even though it's not yet exported, since it likely will be soon.

asm-generic/stat.h: support 64-bit file time_t for stat()

2010-11-01T19:31:29Z

The existing asm-generic/stat.h specifies st_mtime, etc., as a 32-value, and works well for 32-bit architectures (currently microblaze, score, and 32-bit tile). However, for 64-bit architectures it isn't sufficient to return 32 bits of time_t; this isn't good insurance against the 2037 rollover. (It also makes glibc support less convenient, since we can't use glibc's handy STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT mode.) This change extends the two "timespec" fields for each of the three atime, mtime, and ctime fields from "int" to "long". As a result, on 32-bit platforms nothing changes, and 64-bit platforms will now work as expected. The only wrinkle is 32-bit userspace under 64-bit kernels taking advantage of COMPAT mode. For these, we leave the "struct stat64" definitions with the "int" versions of the time_t and nsec fields, so that architectures can implement compat_sys_stat64() and friends with sys_stat64(), etc., and get the expected 32-bit structure layout. This requires a field-by-field copy in the kernel, implemented by the code guarded under __ARCH_WANT_STAT64. This does mean that the shape of the "struct stat" and "struct stat64" structures is different on a 64-bit kernel, but only one of the two structures should ever be used by any given process: "struct stat" is meant for 64-bit userspace only, and "struct stat64" for 32-bit userspace only. (On a 32-bit kernel the two structures continue to have the same shape, since "long" is 32 bits.) The alternative is keeping the two structures the same shape on 64-bit kernels, which means a 64-bit time_t in "struct stat64" for 32-bit processes. This is a little unnatural since 32-bit userspace can't do anything with 64 bits of time_t information, since time_t is just "long", not "int64_t"; and in any case 32-bit userspace might expect to be running under a 32-bit kernel, which can't provide the high 32 bits anyway. In the case of a 32-bit kernel we'd then be extending the kernel's 32-bit time_t to 64 bits, then truncating it back to 32 bits again in userspace, for no particular reason. And, as mentioned above, if we have 64-bit time_t for 32-bit processes we can't easily use glibc's STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT, since glibc's stat structure requires an embedded "struct timespec", which is a pair of "long" (32-bit) values in a 32-bit userspace. "Inventive" solutions are possible, but are pretty hacky. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann

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/.
