BKL: remove extraneous #include

2010-11-17T16:59:32+00:00

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point,
leaving only the #include.

Remove this too as a cleanup.

arch/tile: avoid __must_check warning on one strict_strtol check

2010-11-01T19:30:53+00:00

For the "initfree" boot argument it's not that big a deal, but
to avoid warnings in the code, we check for a valid value before
allowing the specified argument to override the kernel default.

arch/tile: complete migration to new kmap_atomic scheme

2010-11-01T19:30:36+00:00

This change makes KM_TYPE_NR independent of the actual deprecated
list of km_type values, which are no longer used in tile code anywhere.
For now we leave it set to 8, allowing that many nested mappings,
and thus reserving 32MB of address space.

A few remaining places using KM_* values were cleaned up as well.

mm: fix race in kunmap_atomic()

2010-10-28T01:03:05+00:00

Christoph reported a nice splat which illustrated a race in the new stack
based kmap_atomic implementation.

The problem is that we pop our stack slot before we're completely done
resetting its state -- in particular clearing the PTE (sometimes that's
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM).  If an interrupt happens before we actually clear
the PTE used for the last slot, that interrupt can reuse the slot in a
dirty state, which triggers a BUG in kmap_atomic().

Fix this by introducing kmap_atomic_idx() which reports the current slot
index without actually releasing it and use that to find the PTE and delay
the _pop() until after we're completely done.

mm: stack based kmap_atomic()

2010-10-26T23:52:08+00:00

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.

The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:

	#define __KM_PTE			\
		(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : 	\
		 in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE :	\
		 KM_PTE0)

and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.

The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.

For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:

  #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)

to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

arch/tile: parameterize system PLs to support KVM port

2010-10-15T19:38:09+00:00

While not a port to KVM (yet), this change modifies the kernel
to be able to build either at PL1 or at PL2 with a suitable
config switch.  Pushing up this change avoids handling branch
merge issues going forward with the KVM work.

arch/tile: add Tilera's header as an open-source header

2010-10-15T19:36:54+00:00

This change adds one of the Tilera standard  headers to the set
of headers shipped with Linux.  The  header provides
methods for programmatically interacting with the Tilera simulator.

The current  provides inline assembly for the _sim_syscall
function, so the declaration and definition previously provided
manually in Linux are no longer needed.  We now use the standard
sim_validate_lines_evicted() method from  rather than
rolling our own direct call to sim_syscall().

arch/tile: Use

2010-10-14T18:34:33+00:00

With this change we now include  into the "tile"
version of the header.  To take full advantage of the prototypes there,
we also change our naming convention for "struct pt_regs *" syscalls so
that, e.g., _sys_execve() is the "true" syscall entry, which sets the
appropriate register to point to the pt_regs before calling sys_execve().

While doing this I realized I no longer needed the fork and vfork
entry point stubs, since those functions aren't in the generic
syscall ABI, so I removed them as well.

arch/tile: Various cleanups.

2010-08-13T12:52:19+00:00

This change rolls up random cleanups not representing any actual bugs.

- Remove a stale CONFIG_ value from the default tile_defconfig
- Remove unused tns_atomic_xxx() family of methods from 
- Optimize get_order() using Tile's "clz" instruction
- Fix a bad hypervisor upcall name (not currently used in Linux anyway)
- Use __copy_in_user_inatomic() name for consistency, and export it
- Export some additional hypervisor driver I/O upcalls and some homecache calls
- Remove the obfuscating MEMCPY_TEST_WH64 support code
- Other stray comment cleanups, #if 0 removal, etc.
