tile: support new Tilera hypervisor

2013-05-19T18:38:28+00:00

commit c539914dcd9a68c63305e055b14115a6a19578a8 upstream.

The Tilera hypervisor shipped in releases up through MDE 4.1 launches
the client operating system (i.e. Linux) at privilege level 1 (PL1).
Starting with MDE 4.2, as part of the work to enable KVM, the
Tilera hypervisor launches Linux at PL2 instead.

This commit makes the KERNEL_PL option default to 2 for tilegx, while
still saying at 1 for tilepro, which doesn't have an updated hypervisor.
It also explains how and when you might want to choose another value.
In addition, we change a small buglet in the on-chip Ethernet driver,
where we were failing to use the KERNEL_PL constant in an API call.

To make the transition cleaner, this change also provides the updated
hv_init() API for the new hypervisor that supports announcing Linux's
compiled-in PL, so the hypervisor can generate a suitable error in the
case of a mismatched hypervisor and Linux binary.

tile: comment assumption about __insn_mtspr for

2013-04-09T17:08:14+00:00

The arch_local_irq_save(), etc., routines are required to function
as compiler barriers.  They do, but it's subtle and requires knowing
that the gcc builtin __insn_mtspr() is marked as a memory clobber.
Provide a comment explaining the assumption.

tile: work around bug in the generic sys_llseek

2013-03-04T16:19:09+00:00

sys_llseek should specify the high and low 32-bit seek values as "unsigned
int" but instead it specifies "unsigned long".  Since compat syscall
arguments are always sign-extended on tile, this means that a seek value
of 0xffffffff will be incorrectly interpreted as a value of -1ULL.

To avoid the risk of breaking binary compatibility on architectures
that already use sys_llseek this way, we follow the same path as MIPS
and provide a wrapper override.

Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "This is the first pile; another one will come a bit later and will
  contain SYSCALL_DEFINE-related patches.

   - a bunch of signal-related syscalls (both native and compat)
     unified.

   - a bunch of compat syscalls switched to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE
     (fixing several potential problems with missing argument
     validation, while we are at it)

   - a lot of now-pointless wrappers killed

   - a couple of architectures (cris and hexagon) forgot to save
     altstack settings into sigframe, even though they used the
     (uninitialized) values in sigreturn; fixed.

   - microblaze fixes for delivery of multiple signals arriving at once

   - saner set of helpers for signal delivery introduced, several
     architectures switched to using those."

tile: fix memcpy_*io functions for allnoconfig

2013-02-08T18:20:40+00:00

On tilepro without CONFIG_PCI, we can't provide inlines of these
functions, as we don't have readl/writel.

In addition, fix memset_io() signature to take a volatile void *.

tile: avoid defining INT_MASK macro in

2013-02-04T17:53:15+00:00

Unfortunately, this name conflicts with a different use of
the name in various places through the tree, so don't provide
it for the kernel.  We preserve it for userspace to avoid
breaking any userspace code that relies on this definition.

This fixes a number of compile errors for various drivers that
are enabled by "allyesconfig".
