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.

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

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

tile: include the syscall number in the backtrace

2016-01-18T19:49:16+00:00

This information is easily available in the backtrace data and can
be helpful when trying to figure out the backtrace, particularly
if we're early in kernel entry or late in kernel exit.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2015-07-05T02:36:06+00:00

Pull more vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted VFS fixes and related cleanups (IMO the most interesting in
  that part are f_path-related things and Eric's descriptor-related
  stuff).  UFS regression fixes (it got broken last cycle).  9P fixes.
  fs-cache series, DAX patches, Jan's file_remove_suid() work"

[ I'd say this is much more than "fixes and related cleanups".  The
  file_table locking rule change by Eric Dumazet is a rather big and
  fundamental update even if the patch isn't huge.   - Linus ]

tile: improve stack backtrace

2015-05-11T15:22:40+00:00

This commit fixes a number of issues with the tile backtrace code.

- Don't try to identify userspace shared object or executable paths
  if we are doing a backtrace from an interrupt; it's not legal,
  and also unlikely to be interesting.  Likewise, don't try to do
  it for other address spaces, since d_path() assumes it is being
  called in "current" context.

- Move "in_backtrace" from thread_struct to thread_info.
  This way we can access it even if our stack thread_info has been
  clobbered, which makes backtracing more robust.

- Avoid using "current" directly when testing for is_sigreturn().
  Since "current" may be corrupt, we're better off using kbt->task
  explicitly to look up the vdso_base for the current task.
  Conveniently, this simplifies the internal APIs (we only need
  one is_sigreturn() function now).

- Avoid bogus "Odd fault" warning when pc/sp/ex1 are all zero,
  as is true for kernel threads above the last frame.

- Hook into Tejun Heo's dump_stack() framework in lib/dump_stack.c.

- Write last entry in save_stack_trace() as ULONG_MAX, not zero,
  since ftrace (at least) relies on finding that marker.

- Implement save_stack_trace_regs() and save_strack_trace_user(),
  and set CONFIG_USER_STACKTRACE_SUPPORT.

arch: tile: fix null pointer dereference on pt_regs pointer

2015-04-17T16:58:41+00:00

Cppcheck reports the following issue:
[arch/tile/kernel/stack.c:116]: (error) Possible null
  pointer dereference: p

In this case, on reporting on an odd fault, p is set to NULL
and immediately afterwords p is dereferenced iff
!kbt->profile is false.  Rather than doing this check just
return NULL rather than falling through to the potential
null pointer dereference (since the original intentional
outcome would be to return NULL anyhow) for this odd fault
case.

tile: Use the more common pr_warn instead of pr_warning

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
