tile: use a more conservative __my_cpu_offset in CONFIG_PREEMPT

2013-10-13T23:08:34Z

commit f862eefec0b68e099a9fa58d3761ffb10bad97e1 upstream. It turns out the kernel relies on barrier() to force a reload of the percpu offset value. Since we can't easily modify the definition of barrier() to include "tp" as an output register, we instead provide a definition of __my_cpu_offset as extended assembly that includes a fake stack read to hazard against barrier(), forcing gcc to know that it must reread "tp" and recompute anything based on "tp" after a barrier. This fixes observed hangs in the slub allocator when we are looping on a percpu cmpxchg_double. A similar fix for ARMv7 was made in June in change 509eb76ebf97.

tilepro: work around module link error with gcc 4.7

2013-06-15T20:47:47Z

gcc 4.7.x is emitting calls to __ffsdi2 where previously it used to inline the appropriate ctz instructions. While this needs to be fixed in gcc, it's also easy to avoid having it cause build failures when building with those compilers by exporting __ffsdi2 to modules.

arch/tile: remove inline marking of EXPORT_SYMBOL functions

EXPORT_SYMBOL and inline directives are contradictory to each other. The patch fixes this inconsistency. Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org). Signed-off-by: Denis Efremov Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

tile: support new Tilera hypervisor

2013-05-02T20:20:31Z

The Tilera hypervisor shipped in releases up through MDE 4.1 launches the client operating system (i.e. Linux) at privilege level 1 (PL1). Starting with MDE 4.2, as part of the work to enable KVM, the Tilera hypervisor launches Linux at PL2 instead. This commit makes the KERNEL_PL option default to 2 for tilegx, while still saying at 1 for tilepro, which doesn't have an updated hypervisor. It also explains how and when you might want to choose another value. In addition, we change a small buglet in the on-chip Ethernet driver, where we were failing to use the KERNEL_PL constant in an API call. To make the transition cleaner, this change also provides the updated hv_init() API for the new hypervisor that supports announcing Linux's compiled-in PL, so the hypervisor can generate a suitable error in the case of a mismatched hypervisor and Linux binary.

Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS

2013-05-01T00:04:09Z

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.

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.
