Pull tile updates from Chris Metcalf: "These changes cover a range of new arch/tile features and optimizations. They've been through LKML review and on linux-next for a month or so. There's also one bug-fix that just missed 3.4, which I've marked for stable." Fixed up trivial conflict in arch/tile/Kconfig (new added tile Kconfig entries clashing with the generic timer/clockevents changes). * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: tile: default to tilegx_defconfig for ARCH=tile tile: fix bug where fls(0) was not returning 0 arch/tile: mark TILEGX as not EXPERIMENTAL tile/mm/fault.c: Port OOM changes to handle_page_fault arch/tile: add descriptive text if the kernel reports a bad trap arch/tile: allow querying cpu module information from the hypervisor arch/tile: fix hardwall for tilegx and generalize for idn and ipi arch/tile: support multiple huge page sizes dynamically mm: add new arch_make_huge_pte() method for tile support arch/tile: support kexec() for tilegx arch/tile: support header for cacheflush() syscall arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page size arch/tile: optimize get_user/put_user and friends arch/tile: support building big-endian kernel arch/tile: allow building Linux with transparent huge pages enabled arch/tile: use interrupt critical sections less

arch/tile: fix hardwall for tilegx and generalize for idn and ipi

2012-05-25T16:48:27Z

The hardwall drain code was not properly implemented for tilegx, just tilepro, so you couldn't reliably restart an application that made use of the udn. In addition, the code was only applicable to the udn (user dynamic network). On tilegx there is a second user network that is available (the "idn"), and there is support for having I/O shims deliver user-level interrupts to applications ("ipi") which functions in a very similar way to the inter-core permissions used for udn/idn. So this change also generalizes the code from supporting just the udn to supports udn/idn/ipi on tilegx. By default we now use /dev/hardwall/{udn,idn,ipi} with separate minor numbers for the three devices. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf

fork: move the real prepare_to_copy() users to arch_dup_task_struct()

2012-05-16T22:16:26Z

Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended register state like fpu there. Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.

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.

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
