tile: remove support for TILE64

2013-09-03T18:53:29Z

This chip is no longer being actively developed for (it was superceded by the TILEPro64 in 2008), and in any case the existing compiler and toolchain in the community do not support it. It's unlikely that the kernel works with TILE64 at this point as the configuration has not been tested in years. The support is also awkward as it requires maintaining a significant number of ifdefs. So, just remove it altogether. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: don't call show_regs_print_info() with corrupt current

2013-08-30T15:56:54Z

We use the validate_current() API to make sure that "current" seems plausible before using it. With the new show_regs_print_info() API, we want to check that current is OK before calling it, since otherwise we will end up in a recursive panic. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: make register dumps more readable

2013-08-13T20:26:09Z

It's much easier to read register dumps if you read vertically rather than horizontally, since the register numbers line up and lead the eye down more than to the right. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: fast-path unaligned memory access for tilegx

2013-08-13T20:04:10Z

This change enables unaligned userspace memory access via a kernel fast path on tilegx. The kernel tracks user PC/instruction pairs per-thread using a direct-mapped cache in userspace. The cache maps those PC/instruction pairs to JIT'ed instruction sequences that load or store using byte-wide load store intructions and then synthesize 2-, 4- or 8-byte load or store results. Once an instruction has been seen to generate an unaligned access once, subsequent hits on that instruction typically require overhead of only around 50 cycles if cache and TLB is hot. We support the prctl() PR_GET_UNALIGN / PR_SET_UNALIGN sys call to enable or disable unaligned fixups on a per-process basis. To do this we pull some of the tilepro unaligned support out of the single_step.c file; tilepro uses instruction disassembly for both single-step and unaligned access support. Since tilegx actually has hardware singlestep support, though, it's cleaner to keep the tilegx unaligned access code in a separate file. While we're at it, properly rename the tilepro-specific types, etc., to have tilepro suffixes instead of generic tile suffixes. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: various minor cleanups to hardwall subsystem

2013-07-31T15:49:48Z

First, clean up active hardwalls in exit_thread(). This is a better place than in arch_release_thread_info(). Second, mask out any non-online cpus from the cpumask after validating any required semantics of the cpu set. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

dump_stack: unify debug information printed by show_regs()

2013-05-01T00:04:02Z

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same information and it's much easier to modify what's printed. show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack() does plus task and thread_info pointers. * Archs which didn't print debug info now do. alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc, um, xtensa * Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info(). The printed information is superset of what used to be there. arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86 * s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation. Converted to use the generic version. Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register dumps.
