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.

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

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: Remove signal translation and exec_domain

2015-04-12T19:03:27+00:00

As execution domain support is gone we can remove
signal translation from the signal code and remove
exec_domain from thread_info.

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

tile: Use the more common pr_warn instead of pr_warning

2014-11-11T20:51:42+00:00

And other message logging neatening.

Other miscellanea:

o coalesce formats
o realign arguments
o standardize a couple of macros
o use __func__ instead of embedding the function name

arch: tile: kernel: signal.c: Use __copy_from/to_user() instead of __get/put_user()

2014-11-04T15:38:10+00:00

setup/restore_sigcontext() want to copy all related registers between
user and kernel. So use block copy instead of each registers copy. Then
can let code simple and clearer (which can avoid compiler's warning):

The related warning (with allmodconfig under tile):

tile: implement gettimeofday() via vDSO

2013-08-13T20:26:21+00:00

This change creates the framework for vDSO calls, makes the existing
rt_sigreturn() mechanism use it, and adds a fast gettimeofday().
Now that we need to expose the vDSO address to userspace, we add
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to the set of aux entries provided to userspace.
(You can disable any extra vDSO support by booting with vdso=0,
but the rt_sigreturn vDSO page will still be provided.)

Note that glibc has supported the tile vDSO since release 2.17.
