tile: make __write_once a synonym for __read_mostly

2013-09-03T18:53:32Z

This was really only useful for TILE64 when we mapped the kernel data with small pages. Now we use a huge page and we really don't want to map different parts of the kernel data in different ways. We retain the __write_once name in case we want to bring it back to life at some point in the future. Note that this change uncovered a latent bug where the "smp_topology" variable happened to always be aligned mod 8 so we could store two "int" values at once, but when we eliminated __write_once it ended up only aligned mod 4. Fix with an explicit annotation. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: parameterize VA and PA space more cleanly

2013-09-03T18:47:34Z

The existing code relied on the hardware definition () to specify how much VA and PA space was available. It's convenient to allow customizing this for some configurations, so provide symbols MAX_PA_WIDTH and MAX_VA_WIDTH in that can be modified if desired. Additionally, move away from the MEM_XX_INTRPT nomenclature to define the start of various regions within the VA space. In fact the cleaner symbol is, for example, MEM_SV_START, to indicate the start of the area used for supervisor code; the actual address of the interrupt vectors is not as important, and can be changed if desired. As part of this change, convert from "intrpt1" nomenclature (which built in the old privilege-level 1 model) to a simple "intrpt". Also strip out some tilepro-specific code supporting modifying the PL the kernel could run at, since we don't actually support using different PLs in tilepro, only tilegx.

tile: group .hottext* sections properly in vmlinux.lds

2013-08-30T15:56:46Z

With this change such sections are grouped with regular text in the vmlinux image; this change puts them at the front, which is where the standard Linux includes .text.hot*. This change should fix a recently-observed bug where a bunch of symbols were being omitted from the /proc/kallsyms output because they fell between _etext and _sinittext.

tile: provide traceability for hypervisor calls

2013-08-13T20:26:31Z

This change adds infrastructure (CONFIG_TILE_HVGLUE_TRACE) that provides C code wrappers for the calls the kernel makes to the Tilera hypervisor. This allows standard kernel infrastructure like FTRACE to be able to instrument hypervisor calls. To allow direct calls to the true API, we export their names with a leading underscore as well. This is important for the few contexts where we need to make hypervisor calls without touching the stack. As part of this change, we also switch from creating the symbols with linker magic to creating them with assembler magic. This lets us provide a symbol type and generally make them appear more as symbols and less as just random values in the Elf namespace. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

2013-07-03T23:07:34Z

Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h. 1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section. 2) Export mandatory global variables __init_begin and __init_end.

percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE

2011-03-24T17:50:09Z

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

arch/tile: catch up with section naming convention in 2.6.35

2011-03-01T21:18:52Z

The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned". This commit fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the old convention. One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute. Sam Ravnborg pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf
