arch: remove tile port

2018-03-16T09:56:03+00:00

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.

There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.

Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()

2017-10-25T09:01:08+00:00

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:36+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

tile/ptrace: Preserve previous registers for short regset write

2017-01-06T20:14:08+00:00

Ensure that if userspace supplies insufficient data to
PTRACE_SETREGSET to fill all the registers, the thread's old
registers are preserved.

tile/ptrace: run seccomp after ptrace

Close the hole where ptrace can change a syscall out from under seccomp.

seccomp: Add a seccomp_data parameter secure_computing()

2016-06-14T17:54:39+00:00

Currently, if arch code wants to supply seccomp_data directly to
seccomp (which is generally much faster than having seccomp do it
using the syscall_get_xyz() API), it has to use the two-phase
seccomp hooks. Add it to the easy hooks, too.

arch/tile: move user_exit() to early kernel entry sequence

2016-01-18T19:49:30+00:00

This ensures that we always notify context tracking that we
have exited from user space no matter how we enter the kernel.
It is similar to how arm64 handles context tracking, for example.

This allows the removal of all the exception_enter() calls that
were added in commit 49e4e15619cd ("tile: support CONTEXT_TRACKING and
thus NOHZ_FULL").

tile: support CONTEXT_TRACKING and thus NOHZ_FULL

2015-04-17T18:01:10+00:00

Add the TIF_NOHZ flag appropriately.

Add call to user_exit() on entry to do_work_pending() and on entry
to syscalls via do_syscall_trace_enter(), and also the top of
do_syscall_trace_exit() just because it's done in x86.

Add call to user_enter() at the bottom of do_work_pending() once we
have no more work to do before returning to userspace.

Wrap all the trap code in exception_enter() / exception_exit().

tile: correct r1 value during syscall tracing

2013-08-30T15:56:20+00:00

The r1 value is set based on the r0 value as we return to user space.
So tracing tools won't automatically see the right value.  Fix this by
generating the correct r1 value in do_syscall_trace_exit() rather
than trying to tamper with the hot path in syscall return.
