* sparc64: Kill __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSWDavid S. Miller2013-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | As Peter Z. explained at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/12/268 it's not needed at all and I even tested it back then. This patch just got lost in the shuffle for some reason. Reported-by: Kirill Tkhai <tkhai@yandex.ru> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| * sparc64: Improvde documentation and readability of atomic backoff code.David S. Miller2012-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Document what's going on in asm/backoff.h with a large and descriptive comment. Refer to it above the cpu_relax() definition in asm/processor_64.h Rename the pause patching section to have "3insn" in it's name like the other patching sections do. Based upon feedback from Sam Ravnborg. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * sparc64: Use pause instruction when available.David S. Miller2012-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In atomic backoff and cpu_relax(), use the pause instruction found on SPARC-T4 and later. It makes the cpu strand unselectable for the given number of cycles, unless an intervening disrupting trap occurs. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * sparc64: Fix cpu strand yielding.David S. Miller2012-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For atomic backoff, we just loop over an exponentially backed off counter. This is extremely ineffective as it doesn't actually yield the cpu strand so that other competing strands can use the cpu core. In cpus previous to SPARC-T4 we have to do this in a slightly hackish way, by doing an operation with no side effects that also happens to mark the strand as unavailable. The mechanism we choose for this is three reads of the %ccr (condition-code) register into %g0 (the zero register). SPARC-T4 has an explicit "pause" instruction, and we'll make use of that in a subsequent commit. Yield strands also in cpu_relax(). We really should have done this a very long time ago.

|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pull sparc changes from David S. Miller: "This has the generic strncpy_from_user() implementation architectures can now use, which we've been developing on linux-arch over the past few days. For good measure I ran both a 32-bit and a 64-bit glibc testsuite run, and the latter of which pointed out an adjustment I needed to make to sparc's user_addr_max() definition. Linus, you were right, STACK_TOP was not the right thing to use, even on sparc itself :-) From Sam Ravnborg, we have a conversion of sparc32 over to the common alloc_thread_info_node(), since the aspect which originally blocked our doing so (sun4c) has been removed." Fix up trivial arch/sparc/Kconfig and lib/Makefile conflicts. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/sparc: sparc: Fix user_addr_max() definition. lib: Sparc's strncpy_from_user is generic enough, move under lib/ kernel: Move REPEAT_BYTE definition into linux/kernel.h sparc: Increase portability of strncpy_from_user() implementation. sparc: Optimize strncpy_from_user() zero byte search. sparc: Add full proper error handling to strncpy_from_user(). sparc32: use the common implementation of alloc_thread_info_node()
| * sparc: Fix user_addr_max() definition.David S. Miller2012-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to use TASK_SIZE because for 64-bit tasks the value of STACK_TOP actually sits in the middle of the address space so we'll get false-negatives. Adjust the TASK_SIZE definition on sparc64 to accomodate this, in the context in which user_addr_max() is used we have the test_thread_flag() definition available but not the one for test_tsk_thread_flag().

* | fork: move the real prepare_to_copy() users to arch_dup_task_struct()Suresh Siddha2012-05-16
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* sparc64: Kill annoying warning when building compat_binfmt_elf.oDavid S. Miller2008-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | GCC warns because some tests against 32-bit values never evaluate to true due to how TASK_SIZE is defined. I always wanted to mimick powerpc's definition of TASK_SIZE, which is simply TASK_SIZE_OF(current) and that also fixes the warning. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* sparc, sparc64: use arch/sparc/includeSam Ravnborg2008-07-27
The majority of this patch was created by the following script: *** ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm mkdir -p $ASM git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM git rm include/asm-sparc64/* git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/* sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/* *** The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc for header files when sparc64 is being build. And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from sparc64 code. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
