tile: fix personality bits handling upon exec()

2012-10-05T18:04:47+00:00

Historically, the top three bytes of personality have been used for
things such as ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE, which made sense only for specific
architectures.

We now however have a flag there that is general no matter the
architecture (UNAME26); generally we have to be careful to preserve the
personality flags across exec().

This patch fixes tile architecture not to forcefully overwrite
personality flags during exec().

In addition to that, we fix two other things along the way:

- exec_domain switching is fixed -- set_personality() should always
  be used instead of directly assigning to current->personality.
- as pointed out by Arnd Bergmann, PER_LINUX_32BIT is not used anywhere
  by tile, so let's just drop that in favor of PER_LINUX

arch/tile: support building big-endian kernel

2012-05-25T16:48:22+00:00

The toolchain supports big-endian mode now, so add support for building
the kernel to run big-endian as well.

arch/tile: Miscellaneous cleanup changes.

2010-07-06T17:41:51+00:00

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.

2010-06-04T21:11:18+00:00

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/.
