* arch/tile: don't allow user code to set the PL via ptrace or signal returnChris Metcalf2010-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | The kernel was allowing any component of the pt_regs to be updated either by signal handlers writing to the stack, or by processes writing via PTRACE_POKEUSR or PTRACE_SETREGS, which meant they could set their PL up from 0 to 1 and get access to kernel code and data (or, in practice, cause a kernel panic). We now always reset the ex1 field, allowing the user to set their ICS bit only. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
* ptrace: cleanup arch_ptrace() on tileNamhyung Kim2010-10-27

* ptrace: change signature of arch_ptrace()Namhyung Kim2010-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix up the arguments to arch_ptrace() to take account of the fact that @addr and @data are now unsigned long rather than long as of a preceding patch in this series.

* arch/tile: make ptrace() work properly for TILE-Gx COMPAT modeChris Metcalf2010-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we tried to pass 64-bit arguments through the "COMPAT" mode 32-bit syscall API, which turned out not to work well. Now we just use straight 32-bit arguments in COMPAT mode, thus requiring individual registers to be read/written with two syscalls. Of course this is uncommon, since usually all the registers are read or written at once. The restructuring applies to all the tile platforms, but is plausibly better than the original code in any case. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

* arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.Chris Metcalf2010-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit is primarily changes caused by reviewing "sparse" and "checkpatch" output on our sources, so is somewhat noisy, since things like "printk() -> pr_err()" (or whatever) throughout the codebase tend to get tedious to read. Rather than trying to tease apart precisely which things changed due to which type of code review, this commit includes various cleanups in the code: - sparse: Add declarations in headers for globals. - sparse: Fix __user annotations. - sparse: Using gfp_t consistently instead of int. - sparse: removing functions not actually used. - checkpatch: Clean up printk() warnings by using pr_info(), etc.; also avoid partial-line printks except in bootup code. - checkpatch: Use exposed structs rather than typedefs. - checkpatch: Change some C99 comments to C89 comments. In addition, a couple of minor other changes are rolled in to this commit: - Add support for a "raise" instruction to cause SIGFPE, etc., to be raised. - Remove some compat code that is unnecessary when we fully eliminate some of the deprecated syscalls from the generic syscall ABI. - Update the tile_defconfig to reflect current config contents.

* 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/.
