* arch/tile: Allow tilegx to build with either 16K or 64K page sizeChris Metcalf2012-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change introduces new flags for the hv_install_context() API that passes a page table pointer to the hypervisor. Clients can explicitly request 4K, 16K, or 64K small pages when they install a new context. In practice, the page size is fixed at kernel compile time and the same size is always requested every time a new page table is installed. The <hv/hypervisor.h> header changes so that it provides more abstract macros for managing "page" things like PFNs and page tables. For example there is now a HV_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL instead of the old HV_PAGE_SIZE_SMALL. The various PFN routines have been eliminated and only PA- or PTFN-based ones remain (since PTFNs are always expressed in fixed 2KB "page" size). The page-table management macros are renamed with a leading underscore and take page-size arguments with the presumption that clients will use those macros in some single place to provide the "real" macros they will use themselves. I happened to notice the old hv_set_caching() API was totally broken (it assumed 4KB pages) so I changed it so it would nominally work correctly with other page sizes. Tag modules with the page size so you can't load a module built with a conflicting page size. (And add a test for SMP while we're at it.) Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* arch/tile: support newer binutils assembler shift semanticsChris Metcalf2011-03-17
| | | | | | | | This change supports building the kernel with newer binutils where a shift of greater than the word size is no longer interpreted silently as modulo the word size, but instead generates a warning. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* arch/tile: catch up with section naming convention in 2.6.35Chris Metcalf2011-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned". This commit fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the old convention. One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute. Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* arch/tile: parameterize system PLs to support KVM portChris Metcalf2010-10-15
| | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* 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/.
