* arch/tile: various header improvements for building driversChris Metcalf2011-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds a number of missing headers in asm (fb.h, parport.h, serial.h, and vga.h) using the minimal generic versions. It also adds a number of missing interfaces that showed up as build failures when trying to build various drivers not normally included in the "tile" distribution: ioremap_wc(), memset_io(), io{read,write}{16,32}be(), virt_to_bus(), bus_to_virt(), irq_canonicalize(), __pte(), __pgd(), and __pmd(). I also added a cast in virt_to_page() since not all callers pass a pointer. I fixed <asm/stat.h> to properly include a __KERNEL__ guard for the __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 symbol, and <asm/swab.h> to use __builtin_bswap32() even for our 64-bit architecture, since the same code is produced. I added an export for get_cycles(), since it's used in some modules. And I made <arch/spr_def.h> properly include the __KERNEL__ guard, even though it's not yet exported, since it likely will be soon. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* asm-generic/stat.h: support 64-bit file time_t for stat()Chris Metcalf2010-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing asm-generic/stat.h specifies st_mtime, etc., as a 32-value, and works well for 32-bit architectures (currently microblaze, score, and 32-bit tile). However, for 64-bit architectures it isn't sufficient to return 32 bits of time_t; this isn't good insurance against the 2037 rollover. (It also makes glibc support less convenient, since we can't use glibc's handy STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT mode.) This change extends the two "timespec" fields for each of the three atime, mtime, and ctime fields from "int" to "long". As a result, on 32-bit platforms nothing changes, and 64-bit platforms will now work as expected. The only wrinkle is 32-bit userspace under 64-bit kernels taking advantage of COMPAT mode. For these, we leave the "struct stat64" definitions with the "int" versions of the time_t and nsec fields, so that architectures can implement compat_sys_stat64() and friends with sys_stat64(), etc., and get the expected 32-bit structure layout. This requires a field-by-field copy in the kernel, implemented by the code guarded under __ARCH_WANT_STAT64. This does mean that the shape of the "struct stat" and "struct stat64" structures is different on a 64-bit kernel, but only one of the two structures should ever be used by any given process: "struct stat" is meant for 64-bit userspace only, and "struct stat64" for 32-bit userspace only. (On a 32-bit kernel the two structures continue to have the same shape, since "long" is 32 bits.) The alternative is keeping the two structures the same shape on 64-bit kernels, which means a 64-bit time_t in "struct stat64" for 32-bit processes. This is a little unnatural since 32-bit userspace can't do anything with 64 bits of time_t information, since time_t is just "long", not "int64_t"; and in any case 32-bit userspace might expect to be running under a 32-bit kernel, which can't provide the high 32 bits anyway. In the case of a 32-bit kernel we'd then be extending the kernel's 32-bit time_t to 64 bits, then truncating it back to 32 bits again in userspace, for no particular reason. And, as mentioned above, if we have 64-bit time_t for 32-bit processes we can't easily use glibc's STAT_IS_KERNEL_STAT, since glibc's stat structure requires an embedded "struct timespec", which is a pair of "long" (32-bit) values in a 32-bit userspace. "Inventive" solutions are possible, but are pretty hacky. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
* arch/tile: core support for Tilera 32-bit chips.Chris Metcalf2010-06-04
This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips. No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet. This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic; and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
